Not the actual place in the Los Angeles area. And Orlando had been working in the industry by the time we saw that clip of his. At least a year or two. Now, i'm not saying he said his character was an "assassin" because he had adopted the 'hollywood short slang', but if it was, I can understand it being a plausible theory as to why he talked like that. And it doesn't have to be during a movie pitch meeting. People talk like that in production meetings, storyboard meetings, on-set, etc, etc. C'mon, you should've known what I meant.Man, I knock myself out everytime I come here and read these boards! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yah, I like Clive too. Enough to vote him for the next James Bond. If there was a voting system somewhere. That's cool Barsoomcore, I couldn't tell by your post if you were nit picking or just having a good old casual laugh at the silly quote. This form of communication doesn't quite allow each other to easily judge the 'tone of voice' in a post. Anyways, I'm laughing along with you. It's a silly thing to say, "hollywood short slang' or not. Although I'm not getting the same mental visuals you're getting, but I still find it silly. While people in the industry do use that style of talking to quickly describe concepts, we do often make fun of each other and that way of communicating quite often. When we get a chance to sit around and joke.</blockquote>
