Yeah, I thought I Heart Huckabees was great. There are two parts that I'd
highlight (just off the top of my head). The first I mentioned the first
time on the MD after I saw the movie. Marky Mark's character struck me as a
hilarious contradiction in terms. Philosophy prides itself on its
conversability, on the need for reasons and arguments (no less than its
historical place amongst the "high culture," where cool-headedness is given
pride of place). Marky Mark's character embraced the Greek's love of
argument and instigation, yet whenever he was confronted (or rather, when
_he_ confronted) the "conversation" quickly devolved into a shouting match,
with eventually Marky Mark either shouting "Shut up! Shut up!" or
threatening physical violence--two great faux pases, going beyond the pale
of conversation.
DM: Not seen it, that's really funny though. I'll get it on my rental list.
