Fabulous!
There was a bit of an ongoing joke regarding this word while we were on the set of the feature film Liars and Lunatics.
The reason? We always seemed to be rushing. Our director (Roberto Munoz) would call out some of his directions from the next room. There he sat, listening through a set of headphones and watching each take on a monitor. “Amazing!” “Beautiful!” “Wonderful!” were shouted out after a take as the cue to move on to the next camera set-up.
The further along we were in our shooting schedule, the more creative he got in his word-choice. Then, if he didn’t say anything, the actors would get nervous. “Didn’t that deserve a shout from the control room?”
It was more likely that Robert was trying to come up with a new adjective to call out: “Fabulous!”
