Funny story: Movie director Mike Figgis was detained at LAX for more than five hours after he was asked what he was doing in LA. “I’m here to shoot a pilot.”
The guys at Cinematical had a witty retort: “Good thing the immigration officers didn’t ask him about his body of work. Figgis’ answer might have been ‘I recently made a huge bomb.’
Reminds me of the ever-quotable Airplane! - “Hi Jack!”
I love the English language, and when I say love, I mean, well, nevermind.
