Ok, now, I work with this waiter, and he's a really funny/cool cat. He used to work in NY in some seafood restaurant, something that starts with "B", but I forget. He was telling me this amusing story about one night he was working...
Him and his friend were chatting about the infamous article where Spike Lee called Tarantino a racist for excessive use of the "n" word in Jackie Brown. So, they're lounging around waiting for their customers to order. Then, another worker comes up and says "You've got a table...Spike Lee". Naturally, the waiter didn't believe it, so he shrugged it off. A few minutes later, the guy comes back and says "Seriously, you have a customer," and the waiter says "Yeah, I know, Spike Lee." So he makes his way to the table, and there sits Spike Lee with a white man. The waiter gets up the balls to say to Lee, "Where do you get the nerve to say that someone else is a racist?". Spike replies "You read the article, huh? Let me ask you something. Do you feel it's okay, since Jewish people are mostly running the industry to have the word "kike" used in movies?" The waiter replied with "As long as you are using it in the right context and it fits properly." Spike Lee says "Well obviously you know nothing about Hollywood." The waiter backfired with "Well I just saw Girl 6, and apparently neither do you."
The white guy with Lee turns to the waiter and asks "Did you see 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'?". The waiter says "Yeah.", and the man asks "What did you think of it?" The waiter replies "It was pretty good." Then, the man (who turned out to be Jim Gillespie) turns to Lee, and jokingly says "Well, he's not spitting in my food!"
He also said of Leslie Neilson coming in, and putting a part of a lobster on his head and saying "I've heard lobster is brain food, but this is ridiculous!"
And apparently Timothy Dalton was a real jerk to a fan, and refused to sign an autograph.
Anywho, I thought I would share that amusing story with you folks. I don't expect a whole lot of people to believe it, but as far as I know, this guy doesn't lie.
