Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine was working at a record store when she called Jerry Harrison (of Talking Heads) an idiot. He was right behind her. (He was doing an in-store. Of course she knew he was doing the in-store, but didn't know he was right behind her when she said that.)

My favorite Talking Heads story was told to me by a bookstore manager I worked with. She saw them before they hit it big, when they were playing a rather small venue in Chicago. After their set wrapped up, she went over and started chatting with them (that's how small the place was), especially Tina Weymouth, and she and Tina hit it off so well she was invited to join them clubbing that night. The group partying was mostly guys, so she and Tina bonded and spent the rest of the night dancing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm the sort of person that would tell a strange comedian "Nice set, but that's not a Quebecois accent." I find if you frame it right (and, um, are wearing the right clothes) it goes over decently.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
If you get a chance to rent "Taking Woodstock", take it. It really is a fresh take on story we think we all know and I liked it very much...I think that means that that article about "The Best Movies Nobody Saw in '08" or what-have-you is three for three with me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was so stoked to see that until Demetri Martin hit the talk show circuit and spent his time complaining about how icky it was to have to kiss a man instead of promoting the movie. It pissed me off so much I never saw the film (by all reports an excellent one) because I knew I'd sit there staring daggers at him the whole time instead of enjoying the story.
Here's an Important Thing for you to remember, asshole: if the idea of having to kiss another guy traumatizes you so, don't sign on to play a gay man in the movie based on his autobiographical novel.

Because books.
We saw it, and it was nicely done, very atmospheric, some great character moments and performances.
Here's my shallow beef: I was under the impression, mistaken I guess, that JDM played his closeted lover. And ... not so much. So that was disappointing.
