I just saw this movie on DVD this weekend!

It was like an INTP fest. And it was interesting because some of the ideas being kicked around in the philosophy section here were discussed at length in the movie.

I'm not sure if it's a case of life imitating art or art imitating life, but it was definitely intriguing!

Has anyone else seen it and what did you think?

Art ALWAYS imitates life. Life came first. Even movies like Alien are taken from life....all you have to do is look under a microscope at an aphid parasite bursting from the chest of the eaten-from-the-inside-out aphid to realize that even those far out sci-fi ideas are related to things people have seen, heard about, experienced. It is no stretch to recognize everyday life and people are where a writer gleans his ideas from.

No, haven't seen the movie---but I want to.

I actually think it's the other way around. People are told what to think more often then them thinking for themselves.

They are told what is important news, what music to listen to, what clothes to wear, what cars to drive and what furniture to buy. They are told how to be cool, and how to be square.

Jason Schwarzmann's train of thought mimics mine so much....
Especially when he's seeing Jude Law in that tree (not that I think about jude law, but that inability to block out the thing in your mind that you desperately want to block out, because it's so childish and stupid, yet your mind can't help but obsess over it).
Funny, this kind of anxiety disappears on aropax. Spose it's an OCD thing.

Shit fuck damn shit "We should preserve this rock...."
