Subject:      Film sighting of Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed


In Richard Linklater's satisfying 2014 film "Boyhood," we have a Westy
sighting.


The kids' first stepfather (the first of two abusive alcoholics) has a
road rage incident when he's stuck behind a slow-moving* Westy, loses
his temper, jams on the gas and passes it in dangerous traffic causing
much panic.


Looked to be a nice clean white Westy.


* It's apparently slow-moving though we can't tell for certain from the
camera angles. But (a) it's in front of him and he wants to go faster,
and (b) it's a Westy.
