I just saw I Heart Huckabees this weekend, and boy, did I heart it! I hearted the hell out of that movie!
Any of my poor, poor friends whom I have previously bored with talk of my dissertation and the detectives class I am teaching will appreciate why I hearted it so much. Dustin Hoffman (my secret lover) and Lily Tomlin play existential detectives! This is quite possible the coolest thing I have ever seen. I haven’t talked up the film in class yet, as am sure I will get all sweaty, gesticulating madly about the influence of Nietzsche and Camus and Kafka on contemporary detective narratives.
When I saw the thing I got so excited I practically ruined a perfectly good pair of pants. Then I calmed down a bit and started scribbling furiously on a scrap of an envelope. I am such a nerd.
