I can't wait to see the film since a number of my friends from Alpine, Marfa and Terlingua are extras.

I was a fan of this from the start...fascinating to see the world my great-grandfather lived in (he was a geologist in Texas, moved to Arizona and then LA in 1921 following the wildcatters.) It would have been difficult to recreate in Kern County today, the whole area around Taft is industrialized except for the Tule Elk reserve and the Carrizo Plain. Like how Fillmore stood in for LA in "Chaplin". That's our California, gotta love it. Nice job, Mark.

Yeah, California can't even be "itself" in movies anymore! I'm not sure they could even shoot "Chinatown" in L.A., these days. But then, the 70's themselves are ancient history, que no? Thanks, Joel.
