One Week, Toronto Film Festival winner, chronicles the motorcycle trip of Ben Tyler as he rides from Toronto to Tofino, British Columbia. Ben stops at landmarks that are both iconic and idiosyncratic on his quest to find meaning in his life.

Thank you Sarah Stall for kidnapping me and making me watch this film. Super fun movie with some simple but well choreographed cinematography and i love Canada so it was fun to see the landscape that you don’t get to see very often. The pace was very similar to a surf film, the soundtrack was really (not quite a Garden State soundtrack but close) good, and aaaaawww who doesn’t love Pacey (joshua jackson). I like the idea of the narrator, it reminded me a lot of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (fav director), but this guy’s voice isn’t doing it for me… reminds me of Jigsaw from the SAW movies. Anyhow, if you’re seeking the meaning of life or just want to see the Canadian countryside, please see this beautiful movie.

life? what’s the meaning of life? what are we all doing here? there was a time when the meaning of life was all about survival and reproduction. we lived to hunt and gather so we could eat and procreate. well, thanks to commercialization of the food industry we now eat more for entertainment, out of boredom, for the convenience and for gods sakes in excessive amounts. don’t get me wrong, i love eating, but i am a mere product of the same machine you are. as much as we all hate all the fad diets out there these days, i’m beginning to connect the dots, noticed any reoccurring themes?

anyhow, since the meaning of life isn’t to eat and survive, how about we stop eating like it is?

call me up for a coffee, a drink, a good happy hour menu in west seattle and i won’t say no, but thats just cause i love my friends and i can’t say no to a good conversation…but don’t take it personally if i’m not smackin’ down on some wings or going sip for sip on the Monday night drink special…and if i am, i must think you’re extra special.
