Anyone watched these?

Saw both the other night in theater and I thought both were hilarious.

I knew nothing about My Best Friend's Girl when we snuck in and then I saw Dane Cook and I cried a little. Then I saw douche from American Pie and I cringed. But it was hilarious. It's like the opposite of Hitch thrown into a How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days plot that seems to set out to be the anti-romantic comedy and it worked perfectly. My favorite thing was

that the douchey neurotic man baby did NOT get the girl in this movie. Thank fucking Christ. I loved, loved, loved that.

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was just entertaining if somewhat forgettable. Seemed well made. Had a lot of namedropping but I mean, how can you not in a movie like this? There were some extremely hilarious scenes.

HAY GUYS ANYONE SEEN STEEL MAGNOLIAS OR TERMS OF ENDEARMENT??

Sorry, Mupepe, I had to

Mupepe · « **Reply #4 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:14:07 PM »

I like Legends of the Fall.

I don't have a man card!!!

BTW Steel Magnolias isn't bad! And My Best Friend's Girls is not a sensitive chick flick in the least.

smh Micheal Cera

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #10 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:20:43 PM »

I saw Idiocracy today.

I wonder if Michael Cera will ever have the opportunity to work outside of quirky, indie comedies.

Solo · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:22:11 PM »

Yeah. Michael Cera's schtick was great in AD, because at that time, it was all he had really been in, so we didnt know any better. Several films later and you realize he plays every role the exact same way.

Mupepe · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:23:16 PM »

He'll be out of the limelight in a few years when he looks too old to play the quirky teenager

cool breeze · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2008, 09:24:58 PM »

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist looks like the worst movie since Juno

No Cera hate here, but he plays in shitty movies.

Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist: "Hey guys, remember how funny Superbad was? Well, here's a movie that's kind of like it, see it's got Michael Cera in it! Also, it's only rated PG-13, so you don't have to beg your 'rents to buy you tickets!"

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2008, 11:11:43 PM »

I liked Michael Cera more when I simply knew him as the kid on an awesome comedy show

Solo · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2008, 11:34:55 PM »

I actually think Shia does have a modicum of talent, whereas I dont see any in Cera.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2008, 11:37:03 PM »

Shia will be around for a long time simply due to the deep connections he has; Spielberg is absolutely convinced Shia is the next big thing.

Cera is the next Judy Garland

Superbad was crap and had Michael Cera in it. This looks like crap and has Michael Cera in it. Sorry, I'm seeing a connection here.

Eh, Superbad wasn't crap. It's not the best from the Apatow gang, but it certainly had its moments and is a blast to watch with a bunch of people.

That's my views on it. It's not exactly something I care to watch by myself. But the funny phrases and the way they talk make for a funny movie to watch with some friends.

I really liked:
Spanglish
No Reservations
Love, Actually

Anybody who wants to take my "Man Card" will have to pull it from the tip of my engorged, throbbing, 2-inch MAN JUNK!

cool breeze · « **Reply #29 on:** October 11, 2008, 02:40:26 AM »

I somewhat liked Love, Actually. Well, some of the stories. And Keira Knightley is pretty hot in it.

And Superbad was good, but Nick and Norah's blah blah looks like the most horrible shit movie there is.

max_cool · « **Reply #30 on:** October 11, 2008, 05:33:36 AM »

I saw Nick and Nora. Meh, very average, there is nothing that really sticks out in the movie. Although the drunk girl pretty much deserves a best supporting nomination unless she was actually drunk. The rest of the cast is forgettable, I can't even recall the names for anyone but Nick and Nora and that's because they're in the title. It also is so desperate to be hip that it tries not to be too hip and that just makes it all blah. It's like a Phoenix suburb, beige, bland, and doesn't go anywhere.

I think Cera is particularly talented in off the cuff type of humor, which was really great for him in Arrested Development and Superbad. He's leaning a little too much on the trendy teen movies now though, he needs to get back to some real humor.

No, it sucks. I'm a Raimi fan, but Darkman is the most overwrought, lost crap he's ever made. When I heard he was making Spider-Man, I recalled Darkman and was a-feared.
