 SO i got this place I go to well as often as possible.  I write there, I read comics there, I eat many meals there.  It is in Hollywood, so a fair amount of Hollywood types land there
There is this guy who is also a regular and we argue about shit occasionally and get along well enough but it's not like we really know each other.  So one day i am running my mouth about Veronica Mars and he mentions he hasn't finished watching it.  He says that someone said he should watch it because it was like BRICK
Well one of the few things I love more than Veronica Mars is BRICK and I start talking about it like I made the movie.  At some point I ask him what he thought of BRICK and he says

"Well I wrote and directed it...So, you know, I am biased"

You wish you had camera on me at that moment

At this point, I figure I am all the way in a very deep hole I might as well get comfy so I just do something I never usually do and I just  start gushing about BRICK...
 LIKE A TEENAGE GIRL BACKSTAGE AT A JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE CONCERT

"OMG I love the casting, in fact we wanted Nora and I think a few others from your cast for a show I did..."
 "So, like, at the end of the movie does she really say "Motherfucker?"

He actually looked pretty pleased about me figuring that out.  Hell, I talked about the pictures in the drama dressing room and anything else, that ever crossed my mind.  Worse I was in such an embarrassed state I couldn't remember the names of anything and I must have sounded like Johnny McPoser

Still, it was kinda cool. the guy is totally laidback and he answered every asinine thing I hit him with.  he talked about how no one wanted him to direct the movie and his next project  Finally i remembered what I wanted to say fromt he very beginning of the conversation.  I told him about San Diego Comicon and the VM panel where Rob Thomas was talking about BRICK.  It turns out that he had the same sort of conversations with his friends about the VM/Brick similarities and had just recently watched the movie.  So the whole thing came full circle.
