the Road

I'm going for 10 posts today, which involves some scraping of the bottom of the barrel. The Road is a movie which will come out in october 2009. It's based on a Cormac McCarthy book. The reason I'm mentioning it is my brother was almost in it. He was working in Astoria, OR last summer, on a UC Davis research project involving salmon smolt. One day he drove out to the Columbia River Jetty to walk on the beach, and he saw a whole bunch of non-Oregonians looking him over. Kinda freaked him out. Later he found out that there was a film crew in town, and he figured that with his big beard he kinda looks like Viggo Mortensen, and they probably wanted him for a stand in. Oh well.
