my new favorite movie:
Charlie Bartlett. Tale of a charming young hooligan, trying to save the world -- or at least his high school. The actor is a cute, young Russian, Anton Yelchin, and the film also features the lovely Kat Dennings. A bunch of messed up kids realize they aren't alone with the help of fancy-pants Charlie. There's love, drugs, and plently of hilarious lines in between the magic that's happening. Mmm, how I enjoyed it.
Here's a favorite scene:
Charlie Bartlett: I just think you're missing the big picture.
Kip Crombwell: What big picture?
Charlie Bartlett: The universe.
Kip Crombwell: What about the universe?
Charlie Bartlett: Well, the universe is a pretty big place.
Kip Crombwell: Yea. It's infinite, theoretically.
Charlie Bartlett: Right, which means there's probably life on other planets.
Kip Crombwell: Not life like we think, but yeah. Probably at least single-cell organisms.
Charlie Bartlett: Well, see, that's my whole point. I mean you could've been born a single cell organism on the planet Zortex. In fact, given the odds, it's probably more likely, but you weren't. You were born a human being. And not just any human being in the history of human beings, but a human being that gets to be alive today. That gets to listen to all kinds of music, that gets to eat food from every culture, that gets to download porn off the internet. So really, you have everything to live for.
[pause]
Charlie Bartlett: Do you feel better?
Kip Crombwell: Not really.
Kip Crombwell: What big picture?
Charlie Bartlett: The universe.
