They’re All Models, You Know What I Mean…

Apropos of nothing: Larry Hughes, Antawan Jamison, Damon Stoudamire, and Gary Payton shakin’ their little touches on the catwalk.

Kisses and hugs to Nora for watching fashion shows like I watch basketball. Way too fucking much. (Sorry love, it’s true.)

(Note: My favorite part of the whole thing is imagining the exchange GP and Jamison had over who was “tucking” and who wasn’t.)

(Update: Looks like Jamison and Damon are old pros at this. Check out the two of them, including VC and Elton Brand, striking a pose in Aire’s 2004 show.)

Elton Brand’s “Rescue Dawn”

I had remembered reading somewhere — perhaps Chris Palmer’s The Sixth Man? — about Elton Brand’s hopes of expanding his business ventures to include film production. Apparently, he did. And well:

During the Toronto International Film Festival’s frenetic first weekend, MGM preemptively nabbed all rights to Werner Herzog’s much-anticipated Vietnam War drama “Rescue Dawn,” starring Christian Bale. Many distributors did not even get a shot at the film, which MGM claimed as its own before the movie’s Saturday world premiere.

This must be huge news for co-producers Brand and Steve Marlton; especially considering the struggles the film went through near the beginning of production:

Initially, Marlton said, he and Brand planned to invest $2 million of the then-$11 million budget, but after filming began in Thailand all of the other investors dropped out, leaving them holding the bag. “We liquidated properties, made bridge loans and made personal sacrifices,” Marlton said.

Damn. I hope one of Brand’s “personal sacrifices” didn’t include pimping out his wife. (I kid, I kid.)

Anyway, the film looks pretty interesting I guess. You know, if you’re into that sort of Thin Red Line, my-mind-is-the-real-war type of thing.

(Update: There’s a video over at ESPN’s NBA front page called: Brand Makes Movie Debut In Toronto. If you look closely — and well, you know what you’re looking for — you can see a part of my alma mater, Ryerson University. Yeah, apparently the world premiere of “Rescue Dawn” was held in the same auditorium I graduated in. Hilarious.)
