I was at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, for the past week. I heard a lot of weird stuff.
“Is that Lindsay Lohan?” “No, I heard it was One Direction.”
This was said outside of the press conference, where Lindsay Lohan was announcing her new film, Inconceivable.
To be fair, there was a rather large crowd around Lohan, and it was pretty impossible to see her. Plus, what's less feasible: Lohan being at Sundance or One Direction? And they were both there basically, FYI.

“Did you refill your Brita?”
This was a valid question, actually. Park City, Utah, is at a high elevation and has really bad air pollution. Keeping hydrated is key to avoiding that altitude sickness.
Also? Brita basically sponsored Sundance and handed out these little Nalgene bottles in lines, at parties, in lines FOR parties. It was a Brita free-for-all.
“I've known Tilda since before she met Derek Jarman.”
Name-dropping is basic Sundance Survival 101. At times, it seems like the only way to communicate is to see how many famous people's names you can fit into one sentence.
But if I learned anything after a week of hearing, “I went to dinner with [insert name here]” and “I was on a yacht with [insert name here],” it's that if you have to drop the name, it probably means you don't actually know that person. In fact, it's basically a dead giveaway of how not close to fame you are.

“Is this a real owl?”
Yes, it was a real and very live owl named Bubo, and he was just kind of hanging out on Main Street, because YOLO.
