One of the best blogs was a Hollywood grip (lighting assistant) that was a woman. She blogged anonymously and told great stories about the industry and the players including whiny actors and directors. She eventually got identified by the various references to certain sets she was on.

I don't think the results were kind to her.

A good story I remember was about laying cable for lights from the generator in downtown Los Angeles. Overnight, the cables were peed on and vomited on by homeless residents of the streets. The grips would unhook the ends and leave the cables to be stolen and salvaged when the shoot was finished rather than clean them. Not sure the production accountants knew this beforehand.

Stuff like that will get you read big time. I think she's all done in more than one way.
