Administrator noir |
There's just no getting around it. Throughout his career, current Irvine Valley College VPI Craig Justice has been a distinctly "noir" kinda guy....
...Think "Craig Justice" and, right away, you think "hard boiled" and "cynical" and "dark." Golly.
Film Noir (literally 'black film or cinema') was coined by French film critics … who noticed the trend of how 'dark', downbeat and black the looks and themes were of many American crime and detective films released in France to theatres following the war, such as The Maltese Falcon (1941), Murder, My Sweet (1944), Double Indemnity (1944), The Woman in the Window (1944), and Laura (1944)…. Fear, mistrust, bleakness, loss of innocence, despair and paranoia are readily evident in noir…. (Tim Dirks)

Have you got all those old films rolling around in your head? It's true: Craig was good in all of 'em.
Why Novato? Why not Vallejo? I heard they've got a streetwalker problem there...
He's got a new one coming out, and it looks like a goody. Here's what the poster says:
Nothing is sacred when
2500 pounds of angry pot roast
descend on a sleepy little community college
S. Craig Justice in…
BULL IN THE IVC CHINA SHOP!
25 years of college shattered in minutes!
Nothing left behind! (but b.s.)
“Shared governance” just makes him see red!
Don’t bother screaming…he doesn’t listen!
“Animal House turned nightmare”—NY Times
“Justice IS the know-it-all bull, outdoing even himself and Roquemore in ‘IVC Pearls Before Swine.’”—San Jose Mercury News
It sounds pretty scary. I'm sure glad it's only a movie!
10:21, Novato is the home of the ACCJC
Those images are priceless. Now that the accreditation team has left assured that everything is just peachy at IVC, he'll really feel free to seek and destroy. Thirty plus years of struggling to have a voice, to sit at the table, and he comes along and sh#&ts in the nest.
Watch your back, you never know when Craigzilla will attack!
The Plague of the Zombies, starring CJ and GR.
"This horror gem of mid-'60s British cinema is set in the Irvine countryside, where a mysterious alien is killing off a small college's populace."
No, no, his finest role was in Dead Snow, the best Nazi zombie flick ever made. Check it out. He can really goosestep. bvt, post the pic pls.
Wasn't there a cameo in "Detour"?
Catch him in Trail of the Screaming Forehead, sheer genius frontal lobage.
Can't wait for Novato. Do tell?
Looks like he's been to Novato.
Check out the top stories:
I. Community Development Office Closure
II.Downtown Novato Civic Center Open House
III. Sand and Sand Bags Available
IV. Keep it Green
Right on, immortal roles indeed.
But, nothing tops his Oscar performance in front of the accreditation committee. He's cunning, clever, and knows how to work a room.
Yes, he is a fine actor. He has some folks at IVC snowed.
Didn't he play the role of Big Bully in Dial D for Demons? Great horror film.
Check out Schenectady Pennsylvania School District's version of Craig Justice on "This American Life."

Talk about eerie similarities...
What about his leading lady?
Which leading lady? (The current one, or the one before that?)
Craig pushed a woman down the stairs? Schopenhauer might be proud! ;)
