How many times have you witnessed an almost carbon copy of that frustrating, yet compelling scene?
He added a little more insight from personal experience.
I understand *why*, (for continuity and also so so many takes of eating a banana, for example), but no lie one time I had to eat beef stew on screen and I kept getting in trouble bc like, shit tasted good, and I couldn't help myself. I ate so much of the stew

Johnny’s scenario clearly had potential.
Movie Synopsis: a recently divorced horse farmer decides to leave his old life and pursue his dreams as an acrobat in Los Angeles. Along the way he discovers that life as an acrobat is not what he once thought it would be and manages to discover that his true love is a horse.

The real dream was the horses he met along the way
