Eat, Pray, Blah, Blah, Blah
Unless you've been avoiding television altogether for the past few weeks or you only watch public access channels, you're sure to be aware of the new Julia Roberts movie set to be released titled aptly Eat, Prey, Love. This movie is like a wet dream come true for most hipsters because it gives them something to identify with and justify their obtuse lifestyle. Hipsters and psuedo-Hipsters alike are going to be coming out of the woodwork on this one, telling everyone and anything that Julia Roberts decision to leave her conformist life behind and trek the globe, (namely India because its mysterious and most people don't really know what it's like aside from the Taj Mahal and the slums a la Slumdog Millionaire) is the most deck thing going. India itself is a land where hipsters can flock, only to return with the greatest souvinier of all, saying they've been there. I can almost hear people uttering "this movie speaks to me on so many levels" and "this is exactly what my life needs right now, a pilgrimage to new lands where I can continue to do nothing in a new time zone." Nothing against Julia Roberts or the crew associated with writing and directing this movie, but it is set to unleash a wave of hep cats young and old that will go on and on about how giving up ones career to walk the earth is one of the most noble things a person can do with themselves. Me, I'll take David Carridine and Kung-Fu re-runs any day of the week.
