I discovered this wonderful short film by happy accident: It aired on IFC after a movie I was videotaping, so I happened to capture it on tape and discovered it "accidentally" when I replayed the movie I intended to tape. Bob Balaban is
perfectly cast as Tex, and delivers a note-perfect performance as the
Passive-Aggressive gunslinger. Charles Rocket could easily be mistaken for Will Ferrell from SNL; he's also very good as Tex's star-crossed nemesis. This
10-minute movie is consistently funny; my only complaint is that the editing
falters a little bit -- certain cuts toward the end of the film diminish the comedic impact of the material. Nevertheless, this is a BRILLIANT little comedy -- I'd love to own it on DVD or video!
