Joshing with Brolin at the No Country premiere (WireImage.com)

It's been a busy year for Josh Brolin: Grindhouse, In the Valley of Elah, American Gangster and now No Country for Old Men, opening this Friday. The No Country shoot took him to Marfa, Texas' fusion of Old West town and newfangled art hub. He enjoyed the visit, and he likes the town. But he thinks it's stuck somewhere between its past and its future.

"It’s not that it’s too slow; remember, I grew up on the central California coast," he told me a couple weeks back in Dallas. "It just hasn’t found itself yet. It’s rediscovering itself but hasn’t discovered what it is yet. I feel the same way about where I’m from. It was horse and farming country. Now it’s wine country. There’s a lot of East Coast money influence. The old ranchers that I knew, they wore their hats tilted sideways and forgot to put their denture glue in so their teeth clanked when they talked. Nobody cared then, whereas now they're a little more refined."
