"Nebraska" hits theatres today.

[progressoid]

The Paramount comedy is becoming a consensus favorite during this early part of awards season after popping during its time in Telluride — faring even better with buzz than it did in its Cannes debut, when star Bruce Dern won the best actor prize. Director Alexander Payne told Pete Hammond at the mountain fest that he “tinkered” with Nebraska for some time after its Croisette debut to get it to the place he wanted. Here’s a trailer for pic, which stars Bruce Dern and Will Forte and is gearing toward its November 15 release.

[question everything]

1. We saw it yesterday and it is really great

but wonder how the people of Nebraska feel about it.

Winter scenes are bleak with open fields, some bales of hay and cattle and... nothing else.

I have to wonder how the people of the coasts feel about such scenery.

And that the people of the small town are stoic, do not use many words, or at all, well this should be familiar, I think, to local residents.

And true to the "flyover states" being interchangeable:

The summary on Rotten Tomatoes talk about the Bruce Dern character being from Missouri, not Montana.
