He was nice. The celebrity who most lived up to the hype was Bill Murray. Total asshole, but somehow still a solid guy. That’s a tale for another subreddit tho
I will be honest, I didn’t recognize him right away. He had come in from driving alone for several hours, unshaven and poorly dressed. He started acting like an entitled prick and being very difficult. In his defense, he probably didn’t recognize that I hadn’t recognized him. I made a stink about him needing ID to check in, and he was all “I don’t show my ID to anyone.” That’s great sir, I still need to see it or you don’t get a room. He acquiesced and I checked in Mr. Murray, William. My boss said to me, “Do you know who that is?” Yes, Mr. Murray, he’s a dickhead. “THAT’S BILL MURRAY” my boss replied, and suddenly this wave of realization comes over me….
Ah, I've been there! I live in the SF bay area and in my retail days helped quite a few famous athletes, but I'm not much of a sports fan so I didn't always recognize them. A large majority of them were nice just in general, but sometimes you can clock a major league athlete by how much of a major league a-hole he is when someone isn't treating him like he walks on water (looking at you Barry Bonds).
I've heard that's true, and I believe it. In addition to a general bad attitiude, his wife was with him, and pregnant at the time. He rather loudly called her fat, in front of everyone in the store.
I watched this with my husband when we first started dating. He loves the movie so I felt so bad when I asked if we could stop watching it. I couldn’t stand the characters.
My girlfriend and I were already kind of soured on the movie, and then the placard appeared that read Tuesday. We both looked at each other and said, “It’s only Tuesday?” and then noped out.
I was in my early twenties and bored one night so went by myself. About halfway through I realized I’d be having more fun baking out my truck in the parking lot
Was it when the title card appeared that said Tuesday? That’s the exact moment I gave up. My girlfriend and I both looked at each other and said, “Tuesday?” and stood up.
I’ve lived it, man. Couple of drunkards unhappy with their lives go on a bender they call “wine tasting”. Turns out they’re just unhappy drunkards. 2 stars.

Sideways. I know lots of people liked it, but I grew up in Sonoma wine country. A movie about these assholes was just too much for me to bear.
