I think this movie is supposed 2 appeal 2 me since I am alt and see the world in a quirky way.

Yall. I was at the movie theatre seeing 'Star Trek Wolverine Bro' or something, and I saw this indie movie poster.

At first I thought it was some sort of advertisement for an NBC spinoff show since it had a worker from The Office and another classic 'unfunny' broad from Saturday Night Living.

Then I saw the trailer. I think it has a lot of elements that draw me in2 it.

  • Guy with beard and glasses
  • Quirky conversation
  • sillie situations
  • moments where it looks like some1 is 'breaking free' from society's norms
  • Meaningful moments (sometimes with a bunch of people laughing)
  • some sort of folk/indie ballad in the background
  • It is made by focus features
  • couple with shitty car in a modern world
  • animated meaningful drawings that are probably metaphorical
  • scene where people are 'moving' on one of those things in the airport
  • directed by an old guy who gets to 'make love' to Kate Winslett
  • cartoony drawn font
  • actors who create 'caricatures' bc they don't really 'know how 2 act'/it has become a popular tool in the modern 'indie' genre
  • has a bunch of people who are in 'comedies' trying 2 be taken seriously [via Jim Carrey].
  • Remember when Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels were in Dumb And Dumber, but then they decided 2 stop making money and get serious?

I feel like these are some critical elements that draw me into films, cuz they are sort of like a mashup of Nappy Dynamite, Juno, Lil Miss Sunshine, Gigantic, and 500 Days of Summer.  Hopefully the themes that are portrayed in this movie don't isolate tweens and teens, who don't want 2 go 2 the movies to see a movie 'about some pregnant bitch.'  Probably would be boring 2 them, ever since the text message was invented.

I feel pretty intrigued by the guy from The Office's (John Krasinski's) personal brand. I feel like he is sort of like Zach Braff 2.0. I think he is just trying to be 'authentic' but not make anything that will 'pigeon-hole' him quite like ZBraff's masterpiece Garden State.  Think he will probably just be on TV for a long time, and make some krappie movies, and his ceiling is probably co-starring in a Julia Roberts/Sandra Bullock/Anne Hathaway movie.


He seems like he's just here to be on the Earth to say 'hey whats up. I'm just a chill bro. A little bit funnie, a lil bit meaningful. Always willing to look into the camera and make a face that tells u I am in a meaningful, zany, absurd situation bc of my boss, The 40 year old virgin.'

I feel weird finding out that Maya Rudolph is married to P.T. Anderson. Not sure if P.T. films are more authentic than Wes [Anderson] films. I think that There Will Be Blood / Boogie Nights / Punch Drunk Love are better than Tenenbaums / Rushmore /etc.

Wonder if he advised his wife against doing this 'krappie film.'

Have yall seen n e good quirky-core indie movies lately with a meaningful theme
