Austin Film Festival Retrospective: Nebraska

Standing in line to see a live script reading of Vince Gillligan's 2 Face seems the perfect time for a quick review of something great from AFF 2013. Namely, Nebraska, a movie by Alexander Payne starring Will Forte (yes, movies make for strange bed fellows). Also strange: Forte was good. Like, so good that any hope I had left that The Falconer: The Movie would ever be a thing is all but completely shattered (thanks a lot, Payne). 


Also wonderful was the interview afterwards in which Zach Galifianakis (okay, not actually Zach Galifianakis, but come on; you go around looking like that and expect NOT to be called him?), did an expert job of allowing Forte's genuine personality to show us just how truly funny this guy is. And nice. Definitely a great festival this year; more on that later.

My feet hurt.
