During a meet and greet with Mick, rather than fixate on sleeping with him, perhaps consider that a direct link exists within your midst... Why not ask about the outstanding remasters?
I remember that Lawrence Kasdan came to my school and I really was trying to ask him if he felt more fulfilled doing something provoking like the Big Chill over fluff like Body Heat, but I was trying to put it in a diplomatic way so that it wouldn't sound like I was calling Body Heat trash (I mean, I loved it, but it was kind of frivolous). So, because I was trying to find kind phrasing, he just took what I said as a compliment and was like, "thank you very much" and it so frustrated me. I was absolutely trying NOT to gush, but he interpreted it as a gush anyway.
