I Heart Huckabees
I wanted to see this quirky film when it came out in theatres. For one reason or another (probably because other films pulled me more), I never saw it. Then, last Friday, I found it on HBO. It is a quirky powerhouse of life's ultimate questions. Some movies don't need a traditional plotline for me to enjoy them. This is one of them. The flurry of debate between existentialism and nihilism is exhilirating; the truths calmly portrayed about corporate America and activists are biting; and ultimately the experience is uplifting.
This truly is a movie you'll either love or hate. Kinda like The Royal Tenenbaums. Ebert hated it. Then again, he liked that crap Me, You, and Everyone We Know. Different quirks for different folks.
Intriguing sites:
Official movie site. (Way too much flash for my taste.)

IMDB page
Seriously, both the fake corporate and fake coalition sites are pitch perfect. I only wish they could be expanded by fans of the film, instead of lying static and (dare I say?) dead.
