Clipper makes good

I caught a movie, Rescue Dawn, the other day at my local cinema, a good flick. Not exactly a date flick, it’s the tough true story of a pilot shot down over Laos and his endurance in a vicious prison camp deep in the jungle. I was struck by one of the names in the long list of producers: Elton Brand. Yeah, its that Elton Brand, guess he's in the movie producing biz now. Wait, he started his movie producing career off with a Werner Herzog jungle movie? Yipes, either he's got supreme confidence or he's unfamiliar with Herzog's maniacal approach (up to and including eating his own shoe). And since Brand apparently won't be playing any ball for a while, he's got plenty of time to make masterpieces. Good luck, Elton, you're off to a good start.
