On his way to work one day, Joel (Bodhi Elfman) is impaled through the chest by a three-foot arrow. But it doesnt harm him. And it wont come out. So Joel has to learn to deal both with his newfound protrusion, and his own painful loneliness. He tries to go to work, to date women, but no one seems ready to accept his strange flaw. Little does he know, his life is about to change forever...I love it. When you're lovestruck, people notice it everywhere you go. You feel awkward, as it hampers you from doing the things you normally do. You may go on date after date, but while the others are preoccupied perhaps with their own Cupid arrow, or at least the desire for it, they do sense that you're not all there. Cupid may be the unshaven, beer guzzling, football fan, but only the chivalrous King Arthur (or earnest Queen Annette, as the case may be) can extricate the Excalibur embedded tightly in stone.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I love the quiet absorption of being in a darkened theater and the vicarious release of watching a movie or a play. I know I am not the only one.
