    They should put a statue of him spray painting it on her statue. He’s the hero.

        I guess the article linked to says it is (I read a different article about this earlier to be fair), although I also think that’s a guess by police that it’s a woman if that photo is all they have to go on.

            Does it? I’m a man and I wear a scarf.

                That would depend on how I tied it. It could also be an ascot, which men also wear sometimes, especially older men.

                    I do not because I think they’re kind of pretentious, but I am also not that old and American, so it’s a little different.

                    I am totally not trying to brag, just giving this as an example: My dad was a film historian. When I was a teenager, he had some directors come to the university for a conference. One of them was the director Peter Bogdanovich. He wore an ascot. I thought he was a tool because of it. I was right too.

                    Since I’m on this subject, John Landis was also at the conference. He was a very nice guy. He also did a showing of An American Werewolf in London and got up in front of the crowd when it was over and said, “I haven’t seen this movie in 15 years and I forgot how much it fucking sucks.” I enjoy directors with a lot of humility and self-criticism. It’s the sign of an artist.
