What a pretentious piece of shite movie

Serious question here, is there a movie actually worse than I Heart Huckabees? I'm having a hard time thinking of one

Hey audience, look how convoluted and confusing the plot is. For no real legitimate reason except just to be really convoluted and confusing. Isn't this just great?

"Well, I don't want to be accused of micro-managing, but I cannot understand why "I Heart Huckabees" is on a list of DVDs considered suitable for armed-forces entertainment. That self-indulgent crap is not suitable for combat troops."

Oh, and I'm with you, Synecdoche NY is a terrible film that manages to be pretentious AND staggeringly obvious at the same time. It's the worst kind of movie - a shallow film that thinks it is deep. At least Transformers knows what it is.

Full Frontal -- one of the handful of films I've walked out on

I've been told Schizopolis is even worse, but I just can't force myself to watch it

dan man you have seriously disappointed me... C'mon man.

"Have you ever transcended time and space?"

"Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about."

The dialogue with Schwartzman (Albert) are great.

And who doesn't love Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman as existential detectives? It's one of my favorites movies.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Synecdoche, New York and I Heart Huckabees were both mentioned in this thread when they share a theme of existentialism; though I will admit to not being the biggest fan of the latter.

Yes, I Heart Huckabees is a turd of a movie. That and For Greater Glory are the worst movies I've seen in the last five or so years. I wasn't crazy about Synecdoche but I thought it was a good and interesting movie.

just because you don't understand it, that doesn't mean there's no reason.

it's the exploration of existence and what it means to exist. Somewhat tied into metaphyics.
