It's A Small World
I was watching the 2002 sci-fi flick Equilibrium this afternoon. At the end, I noted the following in the credits: Written and Directed by Kurt Wimmer. "Kurt Wimmer?" I think to myself, "I went to college with a guy named Kurt Wimmer. It's not the world's most common name. Could it be the same guy?" So I do a little Internet research and, lo and behold, it is the same guy. According to this biography, Kurt Wimmer graduated from University of South Florida in fall of 1987. Well, technically I believe he graduated from USF's New College division, although it's possible he transferred up to the main college after I left New College in January 1985. But there could not have been two Kurt Wimmers at USF during that time period. Besides, aside from the longer hair, the picture of Kurt Wimmer looks a lot like the guy I went to college with. What a small damn world.

Cool beans on knowing the guy. I've got the DVD and I think it's an excellent movie. What'd you think of it?

I enjoyed it. It was beautifully stylized. The scenes featuring gun kata were quite impressive to watch.
