Austin, Texas, is an Eden for the young and unambitious, from the enthusiastically eccentric to the dangerously apathetic. Here, the nobly lazy can eschew responsibility in favor of nursing their esoteric obsessions. The locals include a backseat philosopher (Richard Linklater) who passionately expounds on his dream theories to a seemingly comatose cabbie (Rudy Basquez), a young woman who tries to hawk Madonna's Pap test to anyone who will listen and a kindly old anarchist looking for recruits.
Yep. Pretty much every Gen-X-era college town. Don't forget to listen to Beck's "Loser" and read Hate comix again.
Another flick I can watch over and over. Thanks Don.
Fun fact: two of the people in the thumbnail here were in an Austin band called Glass Eye. They were great and their Hello Young Lovers record is still a great listen.
