Vowellet: An Essay by Sarah Vowell (2005 Video)

A great surreal addition to "The Incredibles" DVD

[10/10 · 10 July 2005]

I never heard of Sarah Vowell before watching this little doc in the Behind the Scenes extras of The Incredibles. I almost never listened to public radio either. But after listening to Ms. Vowell's dry, sarcastic and self-deprecating wit in this short, I was absolutely charmed. Funny, intimate, educational - Listen as she pontificates eloquently about Abe Lincoln and introduces him to her Violet action figures - and WEIRD! Now I'm in the middle of reading her most recent book, "Assassination Vacation," and I've listened to an interview with her on National Public Radio. I've never heard anyone make the subject of death so funny.
