My lunch with Jacob
« on: May 18, 2007, 02:40 PM »
Tis true ladies and germs, today I had lunch with Jacob. 

Jacob now lives in St. John's Newfoundland but is here in Ottawa for the long weekend to visit some family.  I first ran into Jacob back in Oct of 05 here in Ottawa and had lunch with him at that time.  He emailed last week to tell me he'd be in town and we should do the lunch thing again.  So we did.

It was great to see him again and catch up on things. He was telling me that he was really happy he had a bigger part in season 7.  He has his finger crossed that there will be more work TPB work for him in the future, he finds it to be a very positive experience working on the show.

One interesting thing he told me about the show was that the night scenes in episode 6, the Blair witch type stuff, were actually shot in the day.  He had the camera strapped to his shoulder, and that night vision effect was put in later. 

Jacob is a great artist and has some amazing work available on his website

www.thefloatingworld.net

He does some really interesting gig posters for bands as well. 

I brought my camera and Jacob was kind enough to walk over to Parliament Hill with me so I could snap some pics.  I will post them later when I have a chance.

In the other Jacob thread I mentioned that he told me he would be going somewhere warm for the winter.  It turns out he ended up going to Southeast Asia.  He was actually in Cambodia when the decision was made for him to be a part of season 7.  Clattenburg actually flew over to Vietnam to track him down.  He had to hire a riverboat and sail down the river into Cambodia.  Apparently it was a fantastic, dangerous and surreal journey and the fact that Clattenburg forgot to bring a camera is one of his deepest regrets, he claims it could have been an Academy Award winning documentary.

Oh yeah here is the thread about the first time I had lunch with Jacob

Wow, that is so fucking cool (except that part about no cam).  MC or someone should really get the story down on paper, while it's fresh in his head.  Sounds like a great book, or possibly future movie!

..except it's 35 years later, the Vietnam war is over, he's not a soldier, his mission is different, and if he thought the story would make a great documentary, must be more than a few unique points about it, right?

Just curious if you talked about the ORG with him and if he's interested in becoming a member here.

Ahem.  Because there is only one Gawd and his name is Julian. Capice?

Thanks for sharing, shake.

And, hello, Jacob (if you ever read this).  Put down that tumbler of coke and stop studying for your exams.  Look how SMG turned out!  You don't want that, do ya?

Yes it is true Clattenburg has soul but he's not a soldier.  From what I gather though at some point in the journey he was stricken with Malaria and was having a bad trip due to some bad jungle weed.  Needless to say this left him disoriented and confused, and for awhile he did think he was on a mission to assassinate Jacob.  Luckily some of the villagers where Jacob was staying intercepted Clattenburg and kept him in a cage until he came to his senses.  Once he was back to normal he and Jacob sat around and had a few beers and discussed their plans for season 7.  It was shortly after that that Jacob informed Clattenburg he could have flown directly to the airport in Cambodia, only a few minutes from Jacob's village.  Not knowing that was another big regret in Clattenburg's life.

Sounds like black comedy gold to me!  Can u imagine, after his ordeal, Jacob asking MC "Why didn't u just fly in over...there?".  A miracle he didn't snap and lose it completely.

I have to come clean I embellished the story a bit.  What Jacob actually said was "You know you could have called".  And yes Clattenburg did snap and lose it completely.  Fully, completely.  Suffice it to say Jacob did not get his damage deposit back on his hut.  Thing is the cost of living is much cheaper there, Clattenburg treated Jacob to a couple of donairs in when they were back in Halifax and everything was cool.
