The time is The Future: one year from now. By the time the DVD comes out, the time will be The Present. Two Texas towns have been nuked, including Abilene, the prettiest town that I've ever seen. America is in a state of emergency. A left-wing revolution is being masterminded from Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier against the oppressive right-wing government. A Schwarzeneggerian actor, related to a political dynasty, has been kidnapped, replaced with a double, and -- I give up. A plot synopsis would require that the movie have a plot.

This is from Roger Ebert's one star review of Southland Tales. I haven't seen this movie and don't really plan on doing so but my confusion comes from the third sentence in this paragraph. Is Ebert talking about the Abilene shown in this movie (if it is even shown) or the real town? If he has been to Abilene he must have visited a different area than the one I have because I've never been very impressed with it.
