If it becomes what I've already imagined it is in my head, then Garden State will be the catastrophic turning point in my life where I drop everything to chase a dream I would never allow myself to believe existed. Or maybe I will realize that Zach Braff has already written the story that I imagined I'd write. The story that I imagined I was capable of writing. The story that would never have been written if it were left up to me.

Yes, I have watched the trailers obsessively over the last few days. Yes, I have had fleeting thoughts of flying to the nearest location that it's playing, because we all need to visit New York or L.A. at some point in our lives anyway, why not do it just to see a movie in limited release? Yes, I am expecting it to live up to the expectations that I never had for Love, Actually. Yes, I'm expecting it to live up to the expectations of a year long wait and weeks of daily trailer viewing and an impossibly perfect soundtrack that I've only heard bits and pieces of. No, I will not be disappointed.

Besides, is it possible to be disappointed by a movie co-starring Queen Amidala, Bilbo Baggins and Method Man?
