Smart People Opens Today!

April 11th, 2008 | View Comments

They filmed part of Smart People in my building. Lots of my fellow grad students managed to catch a glimpse of Dennis Quaid. I didn’t, because I sort of didn’t care enough to go look.

I might see Smart People eventually, just to be all “Hey, I work there!”, but it doesn’t look like it’s worth the price of admission.

They filmed part of Wonder Boys in my building too, though of course I didn’t work there then. There’s a scene at the very end where Michael Douglas runs into a building and the shot shows an interesting grid pattern on the floor. That’s my building. I walk through those doors and over those gold tiles (which are tiles purchased by various graduating classes) almost every day.

Wonder Boys is probably a much better movie.

In sadder news, Bob Kames, the chicken dance king, passed away recently. Let us all flap our arms in memory.
