a short blurb about a not-so-old movie

I saw "Stranger Than Fiction" last Saturday (thank God for the yummy torrents scattered all over the Internet).

Like all interesting movies, it had something to do about being miserable, about being happy (happy as in getting laid kind of happy) and about death. It's one of those movies that is - uniquely - both tragedy and comedy.

On the downside, it's a movie about life told in utmost pretense (well, okay... just a little bit) and some of the characters were, somewhat, unnecessary.

Interestingly though, if I were to condense the movie into a short statement, it would have to be, "Life is a comedy, death is the punchline and tragedy just pops up randomly somewhere in between so that you can have a smoke break" (That right there is just too long to be printed on a bumper sticker, so I guess it'll stay on this post).

Anyway, don't mind what I've said. If you haven't seen it, watch it.
