Finding out Christopher Guest DIDN'T CALL JAMIE LEE CURTIS BACK when she saw his photo in Rolling Stone and left a message with his agent and said she wanted to go out with him. He agreed when they randomly ran into each other months later at a restaurant.

Almost an ALL-TIME BAG FUMBLE

  1. That's how you know Christopher Guest is a certifiable weirdo (in the best way possible). He went through his entire life looking like he does and one day he gets a message from his agent that the 1984 version of Jamie Lee Curtis wants to go out with him and he just let it slip his mind

  2. The stories are the best part. Criterion needs to do a series of these. JLC picks up a movie and is like "Oh. The French Connection. Phenomenal picture. This reminds me of the time I was at William Friedkins house and we drank too much absinthe and then a hornets nest fell on Burt Reynolds"

  3. Extolling the virtues of practical effects in filmmaking with Redfords Downhill Racer and then saying Madeline Kahn twenty times. I love Jamie Lee Curtis.
