Ebert interviewed Terrence Howard, who was in Crash and now Hustle & Flow. Crash was an awesome movie about race relations. Just please don't confuse it with Crash (1996), which was about people who get off on watching car crashes. :P I haven't seen that, and I don't really plan to. I also haven't seen Hustle & Flow yet, but I'd like to at some point.
Anyway, I found this bit at the end of the interview very amusing:
"I was good at science. I was living in Cleveland in 1987 and had graduated high school and wanted to be an actor, but if I went to New York and got a job, I wouldn't be free to go to auditions, and if I got a job as an actor, I'd get fired and lose my apartment. But I figured, if I'm in school I will always be free to go on auditions, and I'll have a place to live, because I'll be in the dorm."

I think TStubb convinced us to rent Crash (the one based on the J.G. Ballard novel) before we were ready to handle it. Appropriate use of James Spader though!
