Well, I finally got to see it, and the bottom line is that -- as I had suspected -- Spike Jonze has made the film of the year.
I'll probably see it a number of times again, because the script itself is so gorgeous that I'll want to revisit those lines over and over. But for now I'll just pass along my I-finally-saw-it-and-my-intuition-about-it-was correct thumbs-up recommendation, and leave it at that. Instead of writing about the movie itself, I'll probably just rap about things it's left me thinking about over the next few days. I'm heading out to a cafe right now to write the first of them. They'll be spontaneous, off the top of my head, and unedited. Be warned. :-)
