Jan 14th, 2016: Movie Props
Besides the big buck people you see on the silver screen, the frame is usually filled with scenery and props. Besides John Wayne there's a ten gallon hat, a couple guns, maybe a saddle, a rope, all the things that complete the feel of the time and place. Some directors have pet props which show up in all their films. Quentin Tarantino's pet is products with the Red Apple label, and Ross MacDonald was called upon to make it happen for the latest film.

Many, many moons ago I was quite active on the Pacific NorthWet science fiction convention scene, mostly in western Oregon and Washington. Top of my resume from those days is pro-guesting Norwescon for 8 years running.
One year, they had the fantastic fortune to get Dragon Dronet to attend. In addition to doing panels (which all either filled way before I could find the right room or conflicted with panels I was part of) he brought a no-photo, no-touching exhibit for the art show, a great big lighted case full of movie props. I happened to be setting up my miniature animal sculptures on a nearby table and took the chance to sneak over and drool for a moment. Sadly, he was unable to accept my offer of "I will buy an 8-pound box of Super Sculpey and make anything you want in trade for THAT", because THAT was the Julie Newmar photo Patrick Swayze stole off the restaurant wall in To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar. The photo was on loan from its actual owner, drattit. A few other things caught my eye...the crossbow from the Sigourney Weaver & Sam Neill Snow White, an open egg from Aliens, and his very first project in Hollywood, a little primitive idol that was unmistakable even without its coat of gold leaf--it's the one from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark! While we were chatting, he was sorting other items, one of which was just a plain piece of blackish plastic in a vaguely triangular general shape. I picked it up and asked what the heck it was. Instead of ripping my hand off for touching without permission, he just chuckled a little and said "Oh, that's the codpiece from Locutus of Borg." I wish there existed ANYWHERE a picture of the look on my face. |
