Mike and I just watched this brilliant gem of a film last night. I noticed the "little drama critic" wearing a T-shirt that read "Donald Judd" and under that MARFA.
Donald Judd spent a lot of his life in Marfa after renting a house there in the early 70's. He had fallen in love with the desert landscape (I can relate). That whole region down there is just magical. There really is no other place so beautiful.
This is taken from Wikipedia:
He displayed two pieces in the seminal 1966 exhibit, "Primary Structures" at the Jewish Museum in New York where, during a panel discussion of the work, he challenged Mark di Suvero's assertion that real artists make their own art. He replied that methods should not matter as long as the results create art; a groundbreaking concept in the accepted creation process.
So, really, the fact that this shirt popped up in this movie seems like no random coincidence. I mean, that's basically what the film was saying. Who needs talent when you have enthusiasm?! So, if you're ever in the mood to be inspired and laugh your ass of all at once, I'd recommend Hamlet 2.
