The Story:
Everyday, Joe Bluck gets his roommate Craig to read to him his horoscope. On a
particular Tuesday, Craig decides he has had enough and 'reads' Joe a false
horoscope. The prank proves disastrous. Despite his best efforts to maintain
his cool, Joe finds himself on a zany sojourn with only a towel, flip-flops and
a phonebook to pull off the most important meeting in his career.


Production Notes:
Shot with 7298 Kodak color negative on a CP-16 with Stellavox sound recorder


Final cut and mix on digital Beta


Shot in 6 days concluding on Memorial Day 1996


Post-production completed on Independence Day 1997


Three days worth of audio was lost during TT's production. This included some
of the heaviest dialogue scenes in the film. These lines were all post-dubbed.


Chris' grandmother, father, and wife all have TT cameos. Grandma's voice is
actually Chris's mother dubbing the line.
