Fags and Guinnesses
"U.K. directors have such great faces. All those fags and Guinesses." -- Jamie Stuart commenting on the walrus-bulldog features of The Queen director Stephen Frears in his latest video mini-doc from the 44th New York Film Festival. (Some, I'm presuming, have never seen a British kitchen-sink movie or been to England, and therefore don't know that "fags" is a slang term for cigarettes.)

He could have said cigarettes and Guinesses if he didn't want to confuse. Or, if he wanted to show that he'd been to Britain he could have said fags and pints.

"Fags and pints?" that would sound way too gay, even with his noir voice. He crafted a good performance for himself with the editing and timed out the narration really well.

Great to see Rodney Dangerfield has returned from beyond the grave to dye his hair and take up a successful carrer directing pictures.
