"It is inevitable to be drawn back into human drama."

I Heart Huckabees is a hilarious movie. It's a little raunchy in one scene and the language isn't that great, but I've never seen a movie that makes philosophy so funny, interesting, or relevant.

That said, if you've seen the movie, you may want to check out the website of one of the characters, Caterine Vaubaun, featuring a shortened version of her fictional book If Not Now.

My favorite quote:

Caterine Vaubaun is the author of the critically acclaimed book "If Not Now". First published in 1979, “If Not Now” lays out Vauban’s uncompromising clear eyed look at our existence. When everything is rejected, she states, nothing is left- not even the language that describes this terrifying predicament nor this sentence right here.

By the way, this site is available through the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine. Pretty cool stuff.
