Cut, cut, cut.

No love for Huckabees.  Tut, tut.  I didn't think editing involved in-camera tricks, which is what Eternal Sunshine used.  Huckabees was the most innovative film as far as editing goes.  Life Aquatic would've been a good pick, too.  Anderson did a lot of things with jump cuts and other techniques, and it's not like he was showing off, either.
