================================================================== TOPFIVE.COM'S LITTLE FIVERS -- MOVIES Hand-rolled on the thighs of young starlets fresh off the bus from Omaha. ================================================================== October 18, 2002 NOTE FROM KRISTIAN: On a film set, the crew member called the "Dolly Grip" is responsible for pushing the camera during a moving shot. The Top 9 Pet Peeves of the Dolly Grip 9. Hypnotic jiggling on action babes makes for sweaty palms. 8. Hoity-toity Key Grips and Best Boys always grab the chocolate donuts first. 7. Sick and tired of that "I've Been Working on the Railroad" song. 6. Wearing the huge wig and enormous falsies makes those tight shots a real pain. 5. By the time your name rolls up, the only people left in the house are pimply-faced film geeks. 4. Eight years in the industry and your father still can't tell people what his son does with a straight face. 3. Directors who expect you to push them to craft service and back. 2. Gravel and the Number 1 Pet Peeve of the Dolly Grip... 1. Even when Internet humor lists make fun of you, they first have to explain exactly what you do.
