I [Heart] Target
Since we were at the office yesterday until 6:30, and we still have not done laundry, we needed essentials; dedicated Target Shoppers we are, headed off.
This lead into a trip to see I [Heart] Huckabees. We went to the AMC on route 3 East, in Clifton. Worst theater ever. Only 1 of 4 atomated ticket vending machines were operating. As a result, the line for tickets was extra long. Waiting on the line would not have been so bad if the Russian Euro Punks didn't keep letting their friends cut in front of them as they showed up. All the time we had a nagging feeling our car was being stolen-- the theater has a notorious high car theft rate, and the half dozen security trucks only added to our fears.
I [Heart] Huckabees
We were particularly excited about this film not just because of Rushmore star Jason Schwartzman but because of the existential detectives. [on further review, we've found Schwartzman is also preparing to star in Shopgirl, a Book we've been reading]
But in either case, the movie let us down a bit, but only because our expectations were unreasonable. our Boss described it as "what a 12 year old would write after reading Sartre." We didn't think it was anything like that.
We admit perhaps the movie tried to philosophize a little too much, but it never interfered with the story. We were entertained for sure.
"The Voice of Huckabees" was a rather shallow character and we wondered why she existed-- and then she played a crucial role in the resolution. We were left unsatisfied because she played such a minor role earlier. Jude Law's character could also have been a little deeper, though we suppose, his character was shallow for a reason.
One of the highlights included a Christian Family's dinner-- and their defence of petroleum, SUVs, and urban sprawl. Awesome. That would be us.
We think the movie could have been improved with a few more minutes of story telling-- maybe 60 ore more. And we are certain based on what we saw that we would have eagerly enjoyed another three hours if necessary. After all, at no point were we bored or longing for the conclusion. With that said, its probably better it ended where it did.
We [Heart] Huckabees. We did not love it, but we want to see it again. That's the best thing we've said about a movie in six months.
