The Dean Has Left His Office
John Vernon, best known as Dean Wermer in "Animal House", died this week. Having played countless movie bad guy roles over the years, I'll also forever hear his deep tone when I see an image or comic of Iron Man. He provided the voice for the metal clad hero during the Sixties round of cartoons highlighted by Thor, The Hulk, Submariner, and Captain America. May everyone at Delta House lift a glass and bow their heads in mourning (if they don't all fall over first from being too drunk).
Finished up my first week back with Autonomy. The project is for Here!, a new national gay and lesbian network similar to the likes of Bravo! They needed me to cut a series of feature film clips together to spotlight upcoming movies that would be premiering soon. We just need to hear some feedback from the client, so I've now been scheduled to return next Wednesday to finish up. Then after a few days off I'll be starting the Oscar project. Monday's interview at KO Creative continues to be heavy on my mind.
I did see the president of Autonomy who I am scheduled to have this ever in flux staff position meeting with. However I knew he was very busy and decided not to bring up what I'm sure will happen in time. Again, if they needed me immediately I'm sure he'd be calling me to his office.
More catching up on Oscar films this weekend starting with "Sideways".

Hi, It's Bill! How ya doin'? I'm here at work doing a 3:00-11:00 overtime shift, so i'm able to blog you. I got your phone message about John "Dean Wormer" Vernon. Funny I was just thinking about him approx. a week prior to his death. 72, huh? I thought he was at least 78. Nevertheless, he leaves us with great memories of his dogged and determined efforts to defeat the Delta House faternity. Let's not joke about him just yet. He's probably up there right now with Winfield, Reeve, Wray and Carson saying..."I..Hate...Those Guys"...Give a call when you can. Bill.
