existential.

My obsession: movies.


Tonight with my big bro: I Heart Huckabees


I purchased this one because it features my love, Jude Law. It was a little strange.. all about philosophy and like.. I don't even know. The magic blanket. It often uses the word "existential" Which I know what means because I'm not retarded, but I guess I maybe just didn't even know it was a word. It's like, everyone is afraid of who they are and why they are here, but not everyone knows they're afraid. It got me to thinking: you just can't think about it. I dislike philosophy because, you can always just be.. wrong. and you can make it sound very smart and write books and devote your life to your vision of the meaning of life. and then you could die and find out that, in fact, you were wrong all along. And your life's work was for nothing. Yikes.


Yikes.


Jude Law: born and raised in London--pretended to be American. Disappointing. But still amazing somehow. (likely his eyes.)


Mark Wahlberg: plays my favorite character in the film (environmentalist/social activist firefighter.. eh hem. hot.) But for real, surprised by his talent. I would very much like to see The Departed with him and Leo Dicaprio and Matt Damen


I am learning a little about my favorite films: some trend can be seen in the production companies. My favorite: Focus Features (of course.) and Fox Searchlight. I'll start with Focus, but anyways I think I want to try to see all of their films.. I just like them best.
