Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! Maybe you could be a writer on that there movie set.

What job on the set of a movie are you best suited for?

I usually don’t know—or care—who directed a film when I start watching it.  That is, unless the director’s name is plastered in lead-actor sized font on the Blu-ray’s cover, or predominantly displayed in the opening credits.  Some movies follow a form so unmistakable they can only have been made by one director.  Your confirmation arrives via the end credits.  A gangster movie with slow motion and freeze frames—Martin Scorsese.  Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, and many others, have each cast their own mold.  Such was the case with Ambulance.  This Michael Bay action film is full of car chases and subsequent crashes, along with unnecessary and unrealistic explosions.  I probably should have realized it was a Bay joint early on when the 1996 movie The Rock was referenced—for many years, The Rock was my favorite film.  Frankly, I’m not convinced I have patience enough for any job on a movie set.  But I’d be perfect for sitting in my personal trailer, called upon only to slap Michael Bay across the face whenever he complains he needs more crashes or explosions.
