I DO Heart Huckabees

Again with the movies! Well, I saw I heart Huckabees last night. I absolutely and wholeheartedly loved it. It is my new favorite movie, shocking even me by blowing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind out of the water. It is also the most odd movie I have ever seen that still had logic to it. I know that it's been out in the States for quite some time, but it just came out in theatres here. Yes, but we had Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe days before the States. Oh, international media relations, you tricky, tricky beast. Some things that the movie taught me:
1) Jude Law's entire hotness is wrapped up in his accent and hearing him (although he did slip a few times) speak with an American accent made me dislike him. He's just annoying.
2) Any main male character who inquires about the philosophical side of life is immediately the new love of my life. I am a transparent, predictable little girl.
3) When you see movies that criticise certain aspects of American culture with non-Americans, they always look to see your reaction. It's like they need to see if it's okay to laugh, if it's a true commentary, etc. I am not going to be able to explain it to you, people. Laugh if you think it's funny.
4) I heard a young girl commenting on the all-star cast, "Well, it was all B-list actors, except for Jude Law, of course; he's in everything." Yeah, I totally always knew that Dustin Hoffman was a B-list actor. I mean, what has he even been in??
5) Evidently I'm old because I know that Dustin wasn't waiting for I heart Huckabees for his big break onto the big screen.
6) Don't read the reviews of movies you like. It got terrible reviews. I don't care. Still my favorite movie of all time; take that Ebert!
