Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean.
And the film (and play it is based on) is about fans of Giant visiting the site where the film was filmed, ie Marfa. So it's one big circle.

Posted: 2/19/08 at 3:45pmMarfa is a great town and has become very neo-Bohemian. It's fun to see a lot of Houston actors playing small roles in both films.

How many oscar winning films used the word "douchbaggy?

Girls, girls!
I was wondering though, is this the year witht eh most women nominated in the screenplay category? There have been years with as many women nommed, but I think this is the most for solo female screenwriters--or is it?
