So "What We Talk ABout..." was slated on my reading list for Wednesday in class (I'd actually already put it on there before I even saw Birdman or knew that the short story was a part of the movie's plot). In light of the Oscar talk about the movie, I tried to give them a little preview by explaining that it's the short story they're adapting in the movie Birdman.
The mention of Birdman pretty much drew blank stares from my class with a few "Oh yeah. That's that one they kept talking about last night." No one had seen it.
