I just want to mention that this movie Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is based on a teen novel that I used to flip through about eight times a week back when I worked in the kids section of Barnes & Noble. Because as a mix tape lover, the word playlist calls to me, and because it’s based in NYC.
But I won’t let your Michael Cera suck me in! I won’t buy your typical teen storylines! And I will not be so easily convinced by your indie film lighting and your characters in hoodies!

…I probably will :-/
(In completely unrelated news, my local theater is NOT showing Burn After Reading, and this discovery made me absurdly sad. Want to see the movie.)
No, totally, I will, too, the moment I hear an inkling of a good review. The only thing saving me from seeing it on opening night is that the lead girl looks exactly like Hilary Duff’s sister, and I can’t get behind that.
I’ve never cared for a Coen film before No Country, but I loved that so much that I’m pumped to see Burn. All of my friends who’ve seen it were ecstatic afterward. Poor girl.
It totally looks like the type of movie we would have loved in high school, don’t you think?
I think I’m less interested in it now than I would have been then, because the characters aren’t old enough for me to find them cool.
Oh man, me too. Part of me is like, “OMG I love that music! And Michael Cera!” And part of me is like, “Fuck you, movie that totally exploits the already-exploited-to-death-indie-music-culture.”
Le sigh. I’m such a hypocrite. And a weakling.
“…I used to flip through about eight times a week back when I worked in the kids section of Barnes & Noble…”
How can that even be possible when you only worked 2 half shifts a week? :P
