So there was a girl I was sweet on. We spent part of an afternoon watching Garden State. She was rather fond of the movie. Me, I didn't care for it. I mean, I lived it -- no need to pay money to see it. I told her, "Just wait until we see Me and You and Everyone We Know; now there's a movie." We eventually saw it. She didn't care for it. That should have been a sign.

It mystified me, this preference for Garden State over Me and You and Everyone We Know. Garden State? Garden $%#&ing State? It was at this point that I [would have] asked, "Can such things be?!"

The answer ... is yes.

So now Zach Braff has a new movie out. I can only imagine it's like Garden State, only perhaps less New Jersey-y. It's called The Last Kiss. I'd consider seeing it, if only to attempt a better understanding of the preferences of culturally anorexic girls everywhere, but Amelie Gillette had this in her Onion-based blog:

In response to his girlfriend asking "What are you thinking about?" Braff responds: "I was just thinking how weird it is that I'm considered cool and intelligent for driving a $20,000 hybrid car...and how lucky I am that you love me."

That's actually the first thing he says in the movie ...

Better understanding be damned, I'm skipping this one.
