Alacrity

I almost posted a love note to Garden State last night, but I decided to wait and see how I felt today. I still love it and I finally understand what people mean when a song or movie 'changed their life' (it didn't really change my life, but it gave me that feeling). I know it's not cool to love a movie that everyone else loves and I try not to be seduced into thinking that these almost mainstream movies count as cool and independent, but I loved Lost in Translation, LOVED Secretary, and am head over heels for Garden State.

Now, I'm not saying you should go see it, because I like to feel that this movie now belongs to me, but if you like my kind of movies and can go and enjoy it without telling me about it, you might be better for it.
