“Its a very powerful feeling. I have the skill to draw the fun out of any conversation by interrupting the conversation with my trivial film facts. For instance, did you know that Robocop actor Peter Weller has a Ph. D. in Italian Renaissance Art History? Or how about this, did you know that in Mel Brook’s movie Dracula: Dead And Loving It, when Harvey Korman says ‘Yes, we have Nosferato’, it is a reference to the 1923 novelty song Yes, We Have No Bananas? By the way, have you seen Dracula: Dead And Loving It? It came out in the 90s and is an okay movie. Not really something I’d recommend but if you want to get the context of what I’m talking about….”
