We have a local KFC. Once at the stop light in front of the KFC lot, a chicken runs out, crosses the road in front of me and flees into the field. It certainly looked like it was running away...
Brings a whole new meaning to fresh chicken.

This actually happened:
Dan Pfeiffer (on Peter Doocy): “Is he a stupid son of a bitch, or does he just play a stupid son of a bitch on TV?”
Jen Psaki: “Well, he works for a network that provides people with questions that — nothing person to any individual, including Peter Doocy — but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch."

I was just watching an interview with Francis Ford Coppola. I can't quote verbatim, but I thought it was cool. He had been talking about how broke and all he was during filming The Godfather and how he thought he was fired every day and then how they gave him whatever he wanted to do the 2nd movie:
Just badass stuff, there.
"I even told them I wanted to call it The Godfather Part II. They said no. So I said, OK, then get somebody else to do it. So they said, OK, you can call it whatever you want.
And so we did that movie and after it was all over I told them, look here: if the movie grosses a hundred million, I want you to buy me a new Mercedes Benz limousine. They said, sure! This movie grosses a hundred million we'll buy you any car you want.
So it hits a hundred million and George Lucas comes over in his little Honda and drives me up to the dealership and we get out and I say, yeah! I want that Mercedes Limousine over there and I want you to send Paramount the bill for it. They almost threw the both of us off the lot because they thought we were just a couple of hippies.
But they eventually did it. Gave me the limo and sent Paramount the bill."
And then he talks about the next movie he did:
"Yeah and after that I could pick anything to do that I wanted. People were falling all over themselves to hire me to do their movie but nothing really interested me.
But then I hear a rumor about a Vietnam movie and I thought that might be interesting to make. So I start asking around and everybody is saying, you don't want to do that. That's going to be a disaster. And nobody wanted to touch it. Everybody was avoiding it like the plague. That movie turned out to be Apocalypse Now.
You know why I did that movie?
Because nobody else wanted it."
Just badass stuff, there.
This used to haunt the early Canadian movie channel as between-movie filler.
