We spent all of this week shooting and shooting the finale.

I don't think I've ever covered anything so meticulously in my career - and with precious little dialogue to boot.

But by lunch today, I had an epiphany of sorts (motivated by creative whim and the weather) that has altered slightly and vastly the last five minutes of the flick. It was one of those things that only those who've read the shooting draft of the script (as opposed to that third draft that's out there on the 'net) will pick up on in the theatre, but it's still fairly monumental.

We shot half of 'God', and I'll say this: 'God' is wonderfully sweet beyond words - funny, even. There are nuances and tonal quirks in the performance that really make the flick just sing in the last act. I'm so very pleased... as was she.

Ben's gone. We're all a little saddened by that around these parts, but what can a brother do? All his stuff was shot. He left - as a parting gift - a framed photo of himself in his wings, and a touching little note that reminded me why I love the man so much. I wish I could shoot a flick with Affleck every week.

Tomorrow, it's the first day with the Golgothan, which means special effects galore (which consequently means a slooooooooow day too).

Three more weeks, kids - then we out (and I can spend more time answering posts - my true reason for being).
