Mumbai: "A touch of appreciation is always held dearly in an actor's arms,
even if it's from the simplest of people like our beloved spot boys. But to have
your work spoken of so kindly by the world's most admired gangster X himself
– I had goose-bumps thinking about him watching the promo! I was so
humbled, not only as an actor but as a fan of his legendary work."

12. Q10 GIMME X
• X is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the
time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)
• Usually an X person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching
anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet (X is also used to refer to a
nerd/hacker/programmer).
• In the Western culture, people confuse X to be something positive like "Guru". If you think
about it, it's not really good to be called a guru if it means you are a total loser who can't
socialize with other people except through the Internet.

13. Q11 AGAIN, GIMME X
• According to urban dictionary, X is a place of sheer genius and utter stupidity,
and there is often a thin line dividing the two. here you will see a state of
mind that exists in most human beings, but is rarely if ever shown. this is a
place where taboos do not exist. X cannot simply be regarded as a simple
website or imageboard. it is so much more than code. X is alive and constantly
changing. this is a subculture, a self-governing sect of the world. rich in history
and foundation. to become a X user is to speak a different language. to leave
behind any methods of conventional thinking you once knew.

78. • When X re-released the 3D version of ‘Y' in 2012, he made a minor fix to the film. When he was asked
about this scene revision, he was quoted as saying "Oh, there is one shot that I fixed. It's because Neil
deGrasse Tyson, who is one of the US' leading astronomers, sent me quite a snarky email saying that, at
that time of year, in that position in 1912, when Z is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at
the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen, and with my reputation as a perfectionist, I
should have known that and I should have put the right star field in. So I said, 'All right, you son of a
bitch, send me the right stars for the exact time, 4:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, and I'll put it in the movie.'
So that's the one shot that has been changed.“
