Apr 3, 05 - 7:57 PM Answer for Shygirl.
Shygirl Asks...
Hi Jay, This is my first time posting a question. I usually have alot to ask but don't because I am too shy and I figure everbody else seems to ask all the good questions. So today I am being brave. I have three ?'s 4u.
My fist question is about that scene in the movie cold mountain where you all got blown up. Did they really blow up something in your faces or was it done mostly by computer?
My second ? is I know that someone already asked about love scenes but I was wondering what kind of preparation does an actor do before a kissing scene. Do you go and brush your teeth or are you sucking on an altoid the whole time?
My third question is which do you prefer boxers or briefs? Good God please do not say commando lol. I just needed to type something to bring the shygirl in me out of my shell.
Thanks for answering my ?'s and if you don't answer them than at least I got my courage today just like the cowardly Lion.
Om Shanti(Peace be with you)

Hi Shygirl, Hope you are well. The explosion scene in Cold Mountain was an epic endeavor for the film makers. Many weeks of preparation was needed to coordinate the battle of Petersburg which began with 4 tons of dynamite exploding that was tunneled beneath the confederacy trenches and it was the largest explosion of it's kind at that time-frame in history "1864." To recreate this Anthony Minghella used 80 sticks of dynamite and actually blew up a secondary site that was filmed live with over a thousand soldiers lying near by. Afterwards Jude and I had to do the close ups. We were attached to a contraption that is know as "Jerk Back" and it is a harness worn beneath our uniform and a cable is attached to our back and at the right time we are hurled up and back at high speeds and you really have to relax and go with it or you will hurt yourself. It really is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Almost like a wild ride, but it is a blind landing and they place mats to break our fall. At the same time, they blow junk and dust in our faces and a stunt man had to coordinate a flying jump in between us. This was not an easy thing to nail and we were in wool suits and the temperatures at the bottom of the trench was 114 degrees! And you thought it was easy being an actor Ha? LOL.
For a love scene you do exactly what you would do before a date.
And finally as a solider, I always go commando!

Listen up Shygirl. I think this website has done wonders for you girlfriend-you are definitely not a "shygirl" anymore. Girl...where did you get the gumption to ask the "undie" question-a lady after my own heart (smile).
Jay-thanks for the technical info-I always like to know how things work. You really should collect a fee for passing on knowledge, helping to mend broken hearts, making ladies feel special and helping the shy ones come out of their shells!!!
Hummmmm,..... commando huhhhhh?
You got me thinkin.........

Apr 3rd, 2005 - 10:54 PM Re: Answer for Shygirl.
Thank you Jay for answering my question. I always wonder how they do scenes like that. 114 degress is pretty hot. I am glad that u did not get sick or did u?
The happy face with the little pink buns is cute but it does the real thing no justice.
Claire I am Shy it is just that it is easier when no one is looking. Besides if you would have seen how many deep breaths I took before I pressed post message you wouldn't say that LOL.
As for that part of my question..."As a solider I always go commando!" So how often do you feel like a soldier? LMAO!
Well soldier boy I salute u

I've been missing in action for toooooooo long. I had a minute while sitting here with my Odwala waiting for my flight and decided to come on here. And boy, can you say that Jay's answer for Shygirl really became embarassing cuz Superfood does not feel good when you laugh so hard it flies out your nose. lol. I had to move all my stuff to a different location cuz people kept coming up to me asking if I was alright. lol. Thanks Jay.
Wow, I really have missed a lot.
Cool description of the Jerk back. I've seen one but never really seen one used. I had no clue what the guy ment when he was talkin about the difference between that and a snatch.
Congrats Shygirl! You got yourself a good set o answers!
And boy does the Commando thing make me lift my eyebrows. lol! It'll give me somethin to think about on the plane. tee hee hee.
Congrats again girly girl!
