Stage Combat:
Did throws and grabs today. It's really hard to let the victim be in control. I've been thinking lately of a clip from arrested development when this guy comes into Micheal's office and slams him up against the wall and Micheal's all cowering and stuff, and he says, "I'll do whatever you want, just don't hurt me." and the guy says, "actually I'm a stage combat specialist, you're in complete control of the situation." So Micheal just moves out of the choke hold with no effort and suddenly everything's okay. If I could find that clip I'd put it on here but I can't find it anywhere. It's a good gag, but it's so hard to make it look real and let a victim just drag you around, and knowing how much coreography would have to go into that one little clip to keep anyone from getting hurt kinda ruins the joke for me because I sit there going, "there's no way you can give someone control without their knowing about it." But that's also why it's funny I guess. Hahaha, nevermind, still a good joke.
