The Like/Hate Thread

[Ashe]

So we just got back from seeing "The Crazies". Enjoyed the movie in all its "zombie" movie awesomeness.

The coolest part, however, was immediately after. This older guy with a grandson or whatever turned around and just started talking randomly to us. He said "That was my son that crashed that truck at the end." We were like "..ok?" not sure what he was talking about, thinking that maybe he was drawing a comparison to the actor and his son. Then he followed it up by telling us that his son was a stunt man that wrecked the big truck at the end before switching with the actor. His name was Chester Tripp and he got paid 38,000 dollars for four hours worth of work, but that 48% was taken in taxes. Then told me that he was in three movies this month - Frozen, The Crazies, and Legion.

So I just jumped on IMDB and checked it out, got this: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0873081/

All in all, I can't say exactly why, but I thought it was a really cool experience to have at the end of the movie and I know the dad was really proud. He was watching it just to see if his son was credited at the end of it. Was really cool.
