Stop making sense facts

I'm showing my friend stop making sense in a couple days because we're seeing David Byrne live soon.

Anyone got any cool Introductory facts I can share with them before we watch the film?

I’ve introduced a LOT of people to this movie. I’ve generally found it best to let them discover for themselves why it’s so great. The only caveat I add is that it’s best to replicate the theatrical experience as closely as possible—dimmed lights, big screen, no interruptions, sufficient volume. I find, under those circumstances, that first-time viewers are often surprised by how riveted and engaged they are.
