The Blind Leading, the Blind Supporting Role.

So, for today only, the front page of the Internet Movie Database features the publicity photo of an college class mate from GW, Kerry Washington. She's in the new movie Ray, about the life of Ray Charles. Good for her.

And oddly tangential to what she's filming right now. She's been cast as Alicia Masters in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. And all I can say is, "Woohoo!"

(Of course, there are idiots.)

FriNYTX: 13:54. Should have known the bottom 15s immediately, but I blanked. Spent most of the time stuck in the area just east of center.

I meant to mention to you that there was a recent magazine article about her that I came across. It is nice to see her getting some major work.

I totally read that as "a college class mate of GW and Kerry from Washington".

It can't be November 3rd soon enough.

Well, we were a few blocks from the White House at the time, does that count?

the FF movie better not suck!

that is all :D

Some of the casting has been interesting to say the least. I'm totally behind Michael Chiklis as our ever-lovin' blue-eyed Benjy, though. Julian McMahon as Doc Doom probably means a lot more screen time to Doom before donning the mask. I wonder how many people will call him a Darth Vader ripoff, not realizing that the bad Doctor beat him by 15 years?

Oh oh -- there's only been 15 years between FF #5 and the first Star Wars movie? Now I feel old.

Whoah. On perusing the announced cast list for the Fantastic Four movie, I see someone I used to know too: Hamish Linklater. They don't say who he's playing, but when I worked with him he was 17 and playing one of the leads in the Christmas Revels. :)
