You never know who's going to show up in Burgos. We went to go say hi to our friends who run the Velada hotel, which is this little hotel on this tiny pedestrian street. It used to be part of a castle at one point in time. But anyway, they said they were completely full for the week which is always good. They said the movie people were here with the actors and the director, etc. So we asked who they were thinking that they were a spanish crew. But, oh no they weren't. It was Martin Sheen who is making a movie about the Camino de Santiago. His son, Emilio Estevez, is the director. We saw Emilio in the car, but with a full beard I couldn't be sure he was the Mighty Ducks coach or not. And then here came Martin going through the little lobby to the car and then back through to the banquet room looking for a sandwich he could give Emilio, and then back to the car. Once the car left, we were the only ones there along with our friends and so we started talking to Martin. We got video to prove it.
Today they were shooting a scene near the cathedral and so we went over after our Spanish class to check it out and there was everyone. I had to actually ask him if he was Emilio and then I told him how my kids grew up watching The Mighty Ducks and how much they loved those movies. I even repeated our favorite line that says, "He ate ice cream with the enemy". Whitney you'd be proud. It took him a second to remember saying that line.
It was kind of cool because no one else knew who he was and he was just hanging out. I got a picture with him. And then later in the afternoon, on our way to seminary, we took Weston by the shoot and we talked to him again. Weston got a picture with him. Wait till we go by again with Madison. Jessica knows the other actors in it, but I have no clue. So I don't think we'll be taking pics of them.
Do I really want to be an extra? I don't think so. I'm too impatient to film the same scene 20 times. I don't know how they do it.

He looks a little creepy in that picture with you. He kind of looks like he's going to break out the Breakfast Club dance. You should ask him to do that dance! Just kidding. Really. Don't. He'll probably punch someone. but look it up on Youtube. Trust me, it will be worth your time.
If you see him again tell him I apologize for the jerks at Film Threat. I have no loyalty to that magazine. (I only do it for the festival passes)
