Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: Aristotle said there are three types of friendship. The first is friendship of utility, which happens between you and someone who is useful to you in some way, like a co-worker.
Narrator: The second is friendship of pleasure, which occurs when two or more people just enjoy one other's company. This can be a simple natural camaraderie, or even a fuck buddy.
Narrator: And the third, called friendships of the good, is built on pure mutual respect and admiration - slower to develop, but more enduring. It's the best friend type stuff.
Narrator: Now I'm not saying I know more than Aristotle, but I'd like to propose that there are another types of friendship. One in particular I call "friendship of history". You were close friends with someone, then grew in different directions to be different people, but still act close just, well, because.
Narrator: It's just like seeing a person in the supermarket wearing a life jacket, and you might ask, "Why are you wearing that?" The other replies, "Because I was on a boat yesterday."

Not Bad for a Low-Budget Indie Thriller

Harpoon is a solid thriller that comes with all the caveats of a low-budget, indie flick: the acting, writing, and production can all be a little spotty. There are also some tonal issues with the film as it veers wildly between comedy and gross-out horror scene to scene. Despite these issues, I felt that the film had some really compelling ideas and some fun moments in it. Its also worth mentioning that, as a horror movie buff, It's rare that a film makes me feel unsettled, but there were actually a couple of really gross, dark scenes in this film that got under my skin a little. All-in-all a solid indie thriller/drama that's worth a viewing. I think the director has a lot of potential!
