Um, so watching movies about writers makes me feel like a huge failure and I will thank my horrible guilt complex for making that make sense...
Or not.
Well a good movie to watch is Happythankyoumoreplease. Josh Radnor wrote, directed, and starred in it. He's the guy who plays Ted in How I Met Your Mother. It's another one of those Garden State phenomenons where a comedian writes a hella fucking fanstatic serious movie. Although I like Josh (yeah, we're totes on first name basis... in my mind) a lot more in HIMYM than I EVER liked Zach Braff as JD. But I absolutely love Garden State and every time I see it I have to wonder aloud what the fuck Braff is doing as a comedian when he is infinitely better as a serious screen writer/ director.
I had a point when I started this rant...
RIGHT! So Happythankyoumoreplease is realistic and happy. I won't say more because I think that if anybody actually reads this they should really really see it. And I hate spoilers, so I won't be responsible for them. But see it. Or you could take Rotten Tomatoes' word for it, which gave it a 40% rating. It's a free country after all.
