I saw this the year after it came out. I almost bought a copy because I was so impressed by it.

So excellent!

How cool that you saw it.

Oh, cool, I wouldn't have thought I'd known anyone else who'd seen it. The accountant was quite an intensely oddly entertaining character, simultaneously appealing and off-putting.

Ray McKinnon who brought his movie CHRYSTAL to Austin Film Festival two years ago. He had a premier here, then Sunday morning it was just him, Walt (Ray's best friend who plays Tommy) and Ray's wife with me and another guy. We sat around and talked for an hour just the three of us in a circle. He loves Austin because he got the Academy Award for best short for that film -- and it was so long (35 min or so) no other festivals would take it. But AFF did, and because they're an Academy Award signatory (or something), the film became eligible. Once it was on the ballot, people took time to watch it and it made his filmmaking career!

Ray had a long run on DEADWOOD. He also played the "bonified" new fiance of Holly Hunter who George Clooney had to box in O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? And Walt has had a long-running part as a cop in some show. Last year they brought RANDY AND THE MOB, their new feature to AFF. When Ray saw me in the Austin, he goes "hey!" Good memory! But the movie wasn't that good. Ray played twins, and wrote and directed. Even he admitted he did too much that time.

Clarifications:
Ray got the Academy Award for THE ACCOUNTANT. He also won best short that year at AFF for it.
There were five of us in that circle on a Sunday morning. (math is hard)
Ray saw me in the audience and said 'hey.'

Oh, I didn't know I'd seen him before (in O Brother Where Art Thou)!

PS: Podoba mi się ten polski znaczek z bykiem. :)
