Nothing like a Twin Paradox

Funny story:
At the festival kick-off party, this couple started chatting with me and my (twin) sister, as we were all standing near each other waiting for some announcements. We learned the wife was pregnant with - you guessed it - twins.

Funnier story:
A few minutes later there were some announcements, including mention that the director of one of the films in the festival was in attendance at the party for his film Moon. He was - you guessed it - the husband we were talking to (I had no idea who he was; assumed he was 'just some guy' involved with sponsoring the festival).

Funniest story:
I went to see the (only!) screening of Moon - both because I wanted to and because I kind of felt like I should since I hadn't had a clue that I was talking to the director. Then, during the quick introduction to the film, I learned that the director, Duncan Jones, also went by the name Zowie Bowie for a time.

Oh.

David Bowie's son.

(Yes, THAT David Bowie.)

I was talking to him. With NO idea who he was.

Brilliant.

Anyway, the film was good - I enjoyed it as I don't often seek out science fiction in my cinematic diet. I don't want to give anything away, but the fact that Jones and his wife are expecting twins adds an interesting dynamic to thinking about the film.
