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.
