Nick & Norah (We love the city)


"This is London, not Antartica, so why don't the tubes run all night, You are my Girlfriend, not Molly Ringwald, so why won't you stay here tonight, This is sixth form poetry not Keats or Yeats, and now we find the part that we both hate.

We love the city because it lets us down, We love the city NOT the suburbs that surround. We love all the dirty things, that lead us to think, that maybe true love could be found. We love the city because its how we live, We love the city cause it never loves us back. We love it all because sometimes, even though they're hard to find, it contains all the virtues we lack.

I am intrigued, not merely curious as to why it takes so long to change your mind. I am competent, not merely adequate, its impossible for me to be unkind. This is embarrassing, not merely awkward and I have ignored much greater feelings.

We can hold those aspirations down with bad luck and half hearted frowns, But fear alone will never bring us down, that can only happen in the small towns,

And if you don't love me now, if you don't love me now, if you don't love me, then you can't have me, you can't have me now".
-"We love the city" by Hefner.

Awkward Moment with Maggie


Maggie Gyllenhaal was raised to see Reagan as the Boogeyman. She sees McCain the same way. It's awkward for Elisabeth. And did Maggie say "husband"? in that case, congrats to Peter!!

Kingsley is villain Nizam

"I'm not too acquainted with ancient Middle Eastern gang signs, so I can't be positive what Ben Kingsley is throwing up. But I have to assume it's evil, since he is the villain of PRINCE OF PERSIA.

The movie (subtitled THE SANDS OF TIME) is based on the long-running and bestselling videogame series, and features Jake Gyllenhaal in the title role. Kingsley, seen here on set in costume (unless he just came from a THUNDERBIRDS reunion), plays baddie Nizam.
Extra Tidbit: Persia is now officially known as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Which wouldn't sell quite as many movie tickets".

More reviews of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

"Infinite Playlist unfolds after Norah, the film's music-loving antiheroine played expertly by Kat Dennings (The House Bunny, The 40-Year Old Virgin), ropes heartbroken musician Nick into posing as her boyfriend at a nightclub.

Turns out, they're a hip version of seemingly star-crossed lovers. Norah's been secretly salvaging mix CDs intended for Nick's ex-girlfriend, a man-eating tween named Tris (executed terrifyingly well by Alexis Dziena). This forms the focus of the film -- can Nick and Norah unravel messy ties to their exes in time to explore their own blooming romance?"

"But what keeps the sweetness from cloying the entire enterprise is Cera’s subtle performance. While all around him are “acting” up a storm, Cera is natural and vulnerable, yet somehow serene. He will come to know what he really deserves — and wants — only gradually. And rather than grabbing at it fiercely, he will draw it to himself by his magnetic appeal. At crucial moments, a smile crosses his lips that can only be compared to the Mona Lisa’s. He’s got a rare quality of seeming not to try, much like a younger Tobey Maguire. Cera’s performance is the one anchor that keeps this film from going off the rails.And, like Almost Famous (2000), the soundtrack is a virtual pop playlist of its own". Source: www.packetonline.com
"The Feelies are from Hoboken, from Nick's neck of the woods.
So you want to know what Nick is all about? Just look at his room, a veritable shrine to a kind of music, an ethos that rebelled against corporate rock which went through several name changes over the years, starting with punk (college music, post-modern, and alternative were all applicable at one time or another) and ending up as indie-rock, for the time being. For lack of a better word, Nick is a hipster. He's a Generation Y William Miller (the Cameron Crowe-alter ego from "Almost Famous")Luckily, he met Norah (Kat Dennings), his musical soulmate, in the nick of time; fifteen more minutes with Tris (Alexis Dziena) would've resulted in him losing all his indie cred. Tris is the sort of girl who secretly loves Maroon 5, but pretends to be into The Arcade Fire, just because of the Montreal band's cool cachet. In one scene, Norah's sturdy indie cred goes toe-to-toe with Tris' own shaky indie cred, when Nick's ex forgets the "Where's" in "Where's Fluffy?", a band so elitist, they make themselves inaccesible to their own fans. "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" is about being young and alive on a Friday night. It's also about being in love with music" -review by Chad S.
