i was at the bfi to see dahomey as part of the lineup the london film festival and there was a q&a after the screening but there wasn’t enough time so i sort of hovered outside waiting to speak to the director mati diop and so did harris dickinson. i wasn’t sure it was him but he looked kinda familiar and i asked him if he was harris dickinson by any chance and he said no then he was like ah i’m just playing. i blanked trying to remember which movie of his i‘d seen recently while i was trying to praise him (it was scrappers and he had to tell me 😭😭). then we sort of awkwardly turned from each other and stood in a circle with other ppl waiting to talk to mati.

Was in NYC and got to see Peter and the Starcatcher off-broadway. Guy squeezed past me while I was in line waiting for the restroom during the intermission. Took a couple seconds for me to register who it was.

I used to live in nyc, and one day as I was making my way to my train home from work, I spotted a familiar face walking in front of me. instead of, I don’t know, being a normal person and leaving him the fuck alone, my intrusive thoughts won and I went straight up to him and asked “are you rodrick?” He just went “uh… yeah.” I then realized that he was in Oppenheimer which had just received a bunch of Oscar nominations at the time, so I just went “congrats on Oppenheimer!” And he said thanks and I walked away quickly. Sorry to bro but ur still a legend

“I think you’re a great DP, I don’t care what the producer said about you“ Among the other extras “You know, they’re not even doing headshots for us. Yeah, on the listing they said they’d do headshots but they lied. They’re just paying us with a credit.” “What? This is a movie shoot? I’m here to hang out. I just saw a lot of people and came here to hang out.”
