“Young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk — yeah, that’s it.”

Ah, Hal Hartley. I loves me some Hal Hartley. (Thanks to Matt Berube for my obsession!)

This morning I treated Dave to two Hartley short films

Some of my favorite quotes:

  • “‘We’ll get jobs and be happy!’
    ‘No, we’ll get jobs and pay the rent. We’ll get credit cards and be happy.'”
  • I’m only a waitress on the outside.
  • “Young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk.”

  1. Is that Meatloaf? I didn’t see his name credited but only skimmed thew IMDb links. I’ve never seen/heard of these films so I guess you’ll have to treat me too:)

  2. Heh, no, not Meatloaf. He actually looks more like Buster Poindexter than Meatloaf, but he’s neither.

  3. Probably important to understand that for Dave, it felt more like torture than a treat. 🙂 Very art-y films.
