I'm Famous

Okay, so maybe I'm not famous and just my old campus is. I'm not just talking Detroit history famous; I'm talking Hollywood famous. Yeah, it's just that cool.

Crossover opens Friday, apparently is some basketball flick, but used the 6 mile campus in four scenes. It's not a lot, but it's just as cool as me being downtown as they were shooting the Detroit scenes in The Island. Of course my first reaction while reading this in the Sunday paper was, "So I leave and they start shooting films there?" I figure it's just because I was there that the production studios want to come running. JK - I'm not THAT full of myself. ;)

Shots of the business school (blah - all re-done recently and is now super fancy and shit on the inside. Also, as of last June, the only classroom building that was air conditioned. Damn rich, spoiled business majors), the library (this says new interior - I wonder what they did to it), and an exterior shot of the Health Professions building. So the Briggs building (home to Liberal Arts) gets screwed once again, but UDM is mentioned in the movie.

Now I'm not going to run out to the theatre to see this ghetto shit, but I have a gift card to Blockbuster that I might just keep until this is released. Hopefully it goes straight to video so I don't forget about it.

Feel that Titan pride. Peace, yo.
