not so infinite.

Mmm. I went and saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist last night... and it was basically like Juno, but not as good. Michael Cera was the best, but he's always wonderful, and he was basically the same thing that he is in Arrested Development, Superbad and Juno. But not as good.

What I want to know is why they don't make teen movies like they did in the 80's. The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off etc. Those were awesome. Now we have Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Step Up, that one about Todd Hamilton and so on. Juno is the cool-kid teen movie of our time, but unlike the brat pack, who successfully made a few good movies of the same general premise, filmmakers have failed to produce another decent movie like it. Probably because it's awesome.

When will my laundry be done?
