PUT. SOMETHING. IN THE FUCKING CUPS.

Beans, orbies, just make special weighted cups for sets. No actor in the history of acting has picked up an empty paper coffee cup and gestured with it as if it had something in it.

And while we’re at it.. in this the year two thousand and twenty five, how do we still not have prop ice that floats?

    I learned recently that paper bags on set are made out of a different fabric material that doesn't make as much noise. It looks fairly good, but now that I know this I can never not see that every bag looks wrong and doesn't move correctly.

    we do, it’s just that thr propmasters invested in the old shit and haven’t upgraded their kit. also it’s silicon-y and not har plastic like the old sink-y shit so it’s harder to throw into a ziplock and store until the next show - it doesn’t last as long.

    And when they drink from their cup, they always tilt it like they were sipping on empty cup. Even when they just taken it from the coffee machine. When I do that I always burn my mouth, because coffee will be too hot. It takes long to coffee cool down in paper cups.
