what i mean to say is, igby goes down seemed super-indulgent and moneyed and mean. a lot of folks i know like it, and i've tried, but i can't get away from the fact that none of the characters have any redeemable qualities, except maybe jeff goldblum. sike for life.

the reason i began this tangent is that last night i watched "gigantic" starring paul dano and zoey deschanel. here are some themes that this disorienting movie touched upon:
swimming rats
are we like swimming rats?
really wealthy families
bedding
chinese babies
zach galifinakis as a homeless man / late in the game embodiment of paul dano's inner turmoil specifically with sexual mishaps - in print this sounds kind of awesome but in real life it's not that awesome
perhaps this is an overarching bias against super rich people, but in general i don't really care for their bizzare, moneyed, faltering attempts to find love in between their dollars, does this make me heartless? and in general when i sign on for an adorable zoey movie i am looking for quirk and cute and a lot of zoey, not jesus christ has paul dano been beating himself up for years? did no one notice? and he was able to adopt a baby? FML.
good one gigantic, if 500 days of summer is bad i am blaming you.
