Marfa Wins Big

Do you know where the Chinati Foundation is?

Ummm... never mind. I'll ask around. Jeez Louise, you'd think Texans would be nicer...

The two biggest films made in Marfa since Giant happened back in the day happened to both be released in time for this year's Oscars, and shit, they were the best two movies made this year!

Marfa, Texas location films No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood started with sixteen nominations and won 5 Oscars last night.

Tourists!
