Sightings
Posted by Eric Seymour on 26 November 2004 | 4 responses
As I was walking down the concourse to my gate at the Philadelphia airport on Wednesday, I noticed that left-wing intellectual Cornel West was walking about 10 feet in front of me. Seeing in person someone you’ve seen on TV is always a bit exciting, and as I followed West past the gift shops and eateries, it was interesting to watch other people’s reactions and see who recognized him.
But, really, if I were going to come across someone who appeared in the Matrix sequels, why couldn’t it have been Monica Bellucci?
In other news, I’m enjoying every moment of my holiday retreat in idyllic small-town Indiana. I hope all our ITA readers are having an equally enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend.

Cornel West is a racist, just like all of you.
OMG! that 1st comment sure shocked me.
West? I do not recognize the name, I might recognize the face.
My comment was (still is) in a very light vein:
because I live in NYC, (downtown), sightings are plentiful. Movie actors are a dime a dozen, and I am constantly disppointed by how “common” (read average) they look.
Hey-
Came across your blog today. Great stuff. Agree with you about Alexander — terrible movie.
Noticed you were a college basketball fan (and agree with your thoughts on Bobby Knight). Hoping you could add a blogroll link to my College Basketball Blog, http://collegeball.blogspot.com. I’d very much appreciate a link on your site.
And would gladly return the favor, adding a link from my site to yours.
Thanks!

Ok, that last comment by Daniel was actually me just playing a joke on him. Just an FYI.
