John Krasinski, aka Jim from The Office, has a new movie based on David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men out now, and it's notable to us because Ben Gibbard, the frontman of Death Cab for Cutie, acts in the movie, playing a dude who worries about how his lady doesn't look at him when they're doing it. He also totally hogs a conversation, which is a total dick move at a holiday party. I heard that part happened by accident; Gibbard totally ad-libbed being a douche. Just kidding. Adequate acting, bro. [Stereogum]
