Richard tore after his comedic hero and caught up with him looking in a shop window. "I'm a huge fan of yours", he panted. Cleese looked down from his towering 6 foot-something height and declared "I wouldn't say huge, you look more like an average-sized fan to me". He asked me if I thought the jacket in the window would be good for his daughter. I said not if she's a vegetarian, since it was leather. And immediately felt like a jerk for imposing my beliefs on someone I'd just met. Cleese replied, "Well you know I only eat animals which died of fatal diseases". He then asked me for directions to a place very far away, and set of at a brisk walking pace.<br /><br />We ran into him later at Java Cow cafe, and asked him for a photograph, but he said he didn't see what a photo was supposed to commemorate, given that we hadn't worked together or had much of a conversation. This seemed fair enough, but if I see him a third time I might have to insist!<br /><br />Meanwhile, Kit shook Paul Giamatti's hand and told him to try to stay warm.Zareenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01052966758938429634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814045882059321213.post-24770675093362719462009-01-19T21:08:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:10:59.930-08:00Got irony?<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://rlevien.users.sonic.net/immersionfilm.com/uploaded_images/photo-742981-743193.jpg"><img src="http://rlevien.users.sonic.net/immersionfilm.com/uploaded_images/photo-742981-743126.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>One of THE films we wanted to see was "La Mission", which also filmed partly at Cesar Chavez Elementary.
