Michael Keaton Talks Birdman, Oscars

There is a lot of verisimilitude not just in the idea of Michael Keaton playing a one-time Hollywood franchise star struggling with the burden of residual fame, but also in the credits for Birdman. Scanning through the descriptors for some of the smaller roles, it feels like the filmmakers have really nailed a key part of NYC:

Annoying Tourist
Annoying Times Square Guy #1, #2, #3
Shocked Audience Member
Tourist with Bagel
Crazed Fan/Stalker

The credits are kinder to Lindsay Duncan, labeling her as Tabitha rather than Annoying New York Times Theater Critic.
