Up In The Air is the new smash “comedy” hit starring George Clooney and Vera Farmiga.

Peter Travers in the December 2K Rolling Stone wrote: “Up in the Air is a defining movie for these perilous times.”

That is about the most tragic statement about “these perilous times” I can imagine.

The message of the movie simply and grievously is:

Life is pointless. That being the case, you may as well not go through it alone.

That’s it.

A dreadful trek into 21st century version of existential despair.

Waste neither your time nor your money on it.

’nuff said.
