Okay, I was just in the library checking out the final additions needed for my "Meryl Streep Movie Marathon" weekend, by getting "Angels In America" and "Silkwood" which had been out yesterday when I grabbed the others ("Manhattan", "Adaptation", "Bridges of Madison County", and "Death Becomes Her").

I walk up to the circulation desk, and there's this guy there, who was asking about some cds, and he kinda glanced at my selections. To be honest, in my brain, I was thinking, yeah that's right, I'm gonna watch a movie with Meryl Streep AND Cher in it (this movie being Silkwood), thinking he probably thought I was weird or something. But anyways, he starts walking away, and the girl behind the counter asks the other guy working, who just finished helping the other gentleman, why there are two dvd copies of Silkwood -in addition to a VHS (usually our library has one or the other, or at most one of each format) and was slightly confused as it wasn't a two disc set, and both discs were exactly the same. So the other guy was just like, "uhh, yeah, we have two copies of that on dvd", so she asks why, and he answers

"Well...you know that guy that was just here asking about those cds?"
"Yeah"
"He's the producer of that film."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He makes sure we have enough copies of his stuff"
"Hmmm. I didn't know that"

I was like.....uhhhhhhh.....I was just standing next to the producer of Silkwood????? Hello!!! WTF!!

How cool is that though? At least I know now that he wasn't looking at me thinking I was wierd for checking out that film (unless he hated it, which I highly doubt, because seriously, who would hate working with Meryl Streep, Cher, and Kurt Russell?) he was probably just happy to see someone checking it out.

So I run home, and check IMDB, and unless he's one of the associated producers, or the director/producer Mike Nichols himself (which I doubt) he would most likely be Michael Hausman, who is sometimes credited as Professor Michael Hausman, which would explain his presence at Webster University, possibly as an adjunct faculty member? If it was indeed Hausman (which Sam thought was a familiar name when I asked her if we had any professors here by that name) then its especially freaky, because he also was the executive producer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Gangs of New York, Brokeback Mountain, and All the Kings Men. So I'm kinda freaking out, but not really sure if I'm willing to accept that it could be him. There is most definitely a Nancy Hausman, who I know for sure is an adjunct faculty member here....if she's married to a producer or not, I have no idea. Crazyness.
