::MAYBE I LIKED IT BECAUSE I'M INTO YOUNGER GUYS::

I just watched Harold and Maude, a movie I bought on DVD because a lot of people have recommended it to me, and last week I overheard someone say that Garden State (or maybe Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I can't remember which) was the "modern-day Harold and Maude." It was $9.99, so instead of renting it twice, I bought it.

Harold is stoic, rich and disaffected, and Maude is the liveliest woman I've seen portrayed in film since Sofía from Vanilla Sky. Their relationship, odd and sweetly quiet, reminds me of Bob and Charlotte's in Lost in Translation. And damn. Love the Jag-cum-hearse.

It seemed particularly timeless because, although the film was released in 1971, Harold's wardrobe is eerily hipster-chic.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure the person said Garden State.
