We are experiencing a great test of our film library while trying to cross the heartland of America. Not many movies were either shot in or possessed by us that covers a few states we're trying to visit. Don't worry, we will eventually prevail. We are lucky that a fine, if not small portion of our film tonight was shot in Scottsbluff, NE.
The 1945 Legislature made official " The Cornhusker State " nickname. Unlike may University athletic teams who got their name from the State, Nebraska got it's from the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers who received the name in 1900 from Charles "Cy" Sherman a sportswriter. I like " Elizabethtown" for several reasons. It could have satisfied the requirments for several states, it's got a good, no really good, soundtrack, shows small town in all it's glory and horror. It's basically about a young shoe designer that kind of goofs to the tune of slightly less than a Billion Dollar loss to his now former employer. As he's about to do himself in, he finds out his father died and he's thrown into family, town and past that he'd just as soon avoid. With his mother and sister on one side of the country and him with the extra extended fathers side of the family. On the way he meets a flight attendant and they have kind of a weird bond that develops in a weird way, during a weird road trip she sends him on. It ends in a most logical way after a lot of fun, sorrow, confusion and more fun.
