…but if you’re havin’ a shit day, a tiff or a rift has been laid across you and it stings real suddenly or has come on like a slow and steady gnaw … and something to hit or lift or fix isn’t enough to level you out (… like you had a girlfriend in Hollywood and then she dumped you on your ass for the sister you don’t like after internet posting your beer belly & shriveled package following a particularly long night o drinking & puking… followed by a little more drinking), …
then there really is a temporary cure: Pop in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and shut off the pain … because it’s futile … as we are slated for annihilation anyway, so…
--- Wish I was a Dolly Grip …or even just Zooey Deschanel’s Fluffer on that set.
(I mean, jeez, just watch even “The Making Of…” and if that doesn’t wane on your woes then try the Dolphin sing along…………….and if still you’re feeling defeated, then and …only then take out Hitchhiker’s Guide and put in Star Wars …and let it lull you into a false sense of security…feeling…hey…if George Lucas can score the golden ticket and have his own San Francisco Film Mafia simply for making this piece of crud vamped-up B-Movie hot air balloon, then sky’s the limit.)

& if u made it this far…
Kinda cool flick, engaging, gritty independent feel, thought provoking, sure it does have a cheesy moment or two that may suggest the movie was made more to let the conspiracy out than to wow them @ Cannes or challenge the actors, & again it’s not a Sergio Leone:
The Hunting Party (’07)
On my To See list:
Cassandra’s Dream (’07)
(Woody Allen is on a [gravely sorta] roll…and so I’m curious about this one.
Vicky Cristina Barcelona (’08) had an edge along with the humor & chic-fleek stuff, so I figure…?…what must have lead Woody to these depths.)
&
The Wind That Shakes the Barley (’06)
(Looks to me like another little film with absorbing/poignant historical human content.)
& for humor…
The Matador (’05)
…anybody seen any of these (3) and wish to ward them off before I scar myself?
But NOT Hitchhiker’s Guide! That I will take with me to the coffee can…for those uh unhappy ashes to ashes moments floatin’round in the ethereal duckin’ shillelagh blows.
