Just Watched: Garden State

Yup, behind the times as always.

I did not expect to like this movie, as I'm not too keen on either Zach Braff or Natalie Portman. However, I actually really liked it!

I think I just like hearing about people who are more f**cked up than I am. I also must be a hopeless romantic at heart, because I am fascinated by couples who meet and fall in love after just a few days. I know some real life examples, and I have always been a bit flabbergasted by how such a deep connection can be made so quickly. I guess it just depends on the circumstances, and probably a bit of luck. And in the end I guess it just gains you a few months or years on the rest of us normal couples who take awhile to figure it all out.

I also imagine this movie to be kind of how I would perceive life in the town from which I graduated high school, if I ever really tried to go back. Everybody working at odd jobs around town, still partying together at night.

And my favorite quote:

"Don't make fun of my hobbies; I don't make fun of you for being an asshole."

I told Matt that he could use that quote against me. It is so perfect for us!
