Weird Thing I Saw Today...

A middle-aged man, eating at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods, eagerly recounting his favorite scenes from Dr. Strangelove to a girl that may have been his 12-year-old daughter. He went into great detail, demonstrating nuances of performance, situational ironies, even giving production-diary-style geneses of certain improvised exchanges. It was like a living DVD complete with extras, played for the wrong audience entirely.
