Word of mouth is considered an important marketing tool these days; call it what you will, but it’s still a great way to hear about new music, movies, TV, whatever. Usually the best way to find the good stuff is to talk to somebody whose opinions you respect, but sometimes just random folks can tell you about neat new stuff — some person at a party, a friend of a friend, or whoever. And sometimes it’s the stoner sounding college guy with what sounds like the greatest and worst movie ever. Does IMDB have plot points?

Quote of the Week

On the train from D.C. to Philly:

Stoner college kid on his cell phone: “Did you see the movie (inaudible)? Oh, it was great. It’s about these aliens who land at a college campus and take the form of hot women. This just happens to coincide with a contest these guys are having to see who can sleep with the most girls. So the aliens start having sex with the guys and killing them. It really made you think (pause) about life. (Pause). Yeah, when it was over we had like a 4 hour conversation about it.”

After the jump, kid’s gotta pee, credit cards, and surprisingly successful compliments.

Despite a Thanksgiving holiday, you kept the Overheards coming. So be sure to send your leftovers to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.
