On MC

So I caught 2 Michael Cera films recently. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and Paperheart.

I caught N&N last night and I was really disappointed. It was really forgettable and the only thing I liked about it was the soundtrack. I especially disliked the whole, let's put a random band into a scene really unneccesarily and announce their names out loud so people would realise they're there and make this movie really cool with loads of indie cred! They used Bishop Allen. (Also occured in Skins, and in their case, Crystal Castles) Other than that, the movie was so bland! I was quite excited about it a year ago when it first came out(although i didn't watch it then) and that was just efforts wasted on my part. >:(

Paperheart was much better though. I've loved Charlyne Yi since the day she went on Conan(!) and was really funny and awkward and downright adorable. And yeah, she was like that in the film. I liked what the story was based on, the whole fake-documentary thing. I just didn't like the michael Cera parts.

Okay so here's what I actually want to comment about: Michael Cera. Honestly, I do not get him. I liked him in arrested development and his appeal kinda ended there. His awkward, dorky thing is cute to watch for a while, but film after film he does the SAME THING. And I fail to understand how he gets parts in movies where girls are actually attracted to him(hot girls, at that. See:N&N) because he looks a lot like a turtle to me. I don't see why he is getting so much fame!!!!!! Stupid turtle boy.
