I Heart (Shape, not the word) Huckabees

I would like to write more, but I'm too tired. A movie about competing philosophies - existentialism and nihilism and materialism, I guess. I thought Jude Law was super funny.

I can't think of another filmmaker that I would consider intellectual, other than David O Russell these days. Hmmmmm.

UPDATE: Groovey responses. I agree with Therese...Pi (the symbol, again, not the word) is certainly an intellectual film. Honestly, I haven't thought about Aranofsky much in awhile. Even Requim is fairly intellectual as far as films go.

As to money...I can't see this thing making anything, really. It's a tough movie, but it might have come out at the right time, might have enough laughs, and it certainly has the cast, to make, say 30-40 million. But from the movie perspective, I remember thinking to myself - whoops, O Russell may have severely hindered him own chances of making another movie in awhile here...

Mallick - I consider this guy to be more of an abberation than a filmmaker. 3 movies in like 30 years? I admittedly love Badlands - it's one of my favorite films ever, but that was in the 1970s.

In the end, film is not really an intellectual medium...it's an emotional one. I think I heart Huckabees suffers from that.
