"We didn't kill Officer Puppy!"
My daughter and I saw this movie tonight at the Seattle International Film Festival. It was FUCKING awesome. Those of you that could relate to the characters and the setting of Garden State will appreciate the same that this movie does for New Hampshire. I've seen some of the criticism that Aaron has gotten in this community for his acting in this film. For those of you who haven't seen this movie, try to form your own opinion after you see it.
Aaron is believable. He is humorous and his partner in crime, Paul Schneider is brilliant. He's absolutely hilarious in this film! I really hope that this movie gets distributed through a major studio so the rest of the world can see it. It's frickin' awesome.
The Director, Gregg Kavet was there tonight. He stayed after the screening and did a Q&A session. And yes, I asked him what is was like to work with Aaron Stanford. To which he replied, "Aaron was awesome." He said that Aaron was a great method actor and that he felt bad for taking a few years off of his life for making him smoke so much during the film. Gregg also said that Aaron was a lot like his character in the sense that he smoked and swears a lot. Ha Ha! Awesome.
It truly was a great film and I can't wait to see it again. We'll have to see what happens with the distribution or hopefully the future DVD release.
BTW... Aaron is HAWT! U know he is! :P
