I’m excited to finally see more and more commercials airing, and hear the award buzz buzzing for The Great Debaters.  For a while there I thought this film was going to be another Talk to Me — a great black film that nobody saw and barely anybody even heard of, because it had such crap promotion and limited release.  Yeah, I’m still a little bitter about that one.  But I should’ve known that a Denzel project all about championing the human spirit was going to get a little more attention.

Also, who knew Jurnee Smollet grew up and can act now?
