2006jul22. Interview with Errol Morris [via kottke]. Morris mentions a town fancifully named ”Nub City.” Insurance talk about Nub City. Nub City ... is Vernon, Florida? Which was Morris’ second documentary:
The documentarian originally set out to chronicle the town because of its reputation among insurance circles for having the highest rate of fraudulent claims for, hold your lunch, dismemberment performed for profit. While this investigation of “Nub City” would have produced an equally fascinating, if entirely different, sort of documentary, Morris was forced to change gears when his subjects tried to kill him.
That would explain why I couldn’t remember any nubbers in the film – not that I remember much of it anymore, ‘cept that turkey hunter.
