Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

So, I've seen this movie before, again because I was bored. Well, a day off school and waking up earlier than planned means a movie day for me. I plan on watching Diving Bell and The Butterfly today, who knows maybe Requiem for a Dream or Pi. I remember really enjoying the movie, that I always am surprised by the off-beat teen comedies that seem to just make me happy.

This movie is pretty awesome, the music is great-- all the indie hits all in one movie, with teenagers. Like Devendra Benhart, The Cure, Vampire Weekend, and tons of other bands. I really like how mix CDs are a vital part of this movie, because as you've probably guessed-- I'm a sucker for them. I was going to make one today after seeing this, just because I can. Probably will. Also it takes place in New York, going around to the small clubs and bars for music-- all night. With an infinite playlist playing...and debating music, now that's the life. But it's more than just the music theme running through it, it also has sarcasm, and wit that if you pay attention, the subtleties are hilarious. I'm not a fan of most teen comedies, but ever since the whole Juno cult hit started I like that kind of teen comedies (Charlie Bartlett) the rest seem stupid in comparison. It's a great movie to watch with friends hanging out, and I guess that's why it's good. Just a short post...more movies later! :)
