this trailer makes me pee a little



too exciting.
reasons i am excited for this movie:
-the title alone
-jay baruchel (loved him since undeclared, love him more since he wore adorkable glasses in tropic thunder)
-a girl dressed up as a christmas tree
-new york city!
-guy from spring awakening
-michael cera
-michael cera playing guitar!

and now a digression on michael cera: i wish he could play other characters... maybe he can. but he hasn't yet. however, with each movie he does, that exact same character gets slightly more desirable to girls...
2003-2006: George MIchael, Arrested Development- could not get a girl for the life of him, had a crush on his cousin, dated Bland- I mean Anne. My friends used to make fun of me for having a crush on him. (This may be because I was 3 years older than his character, but WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, BITCHES?)
2007: Evan, Superbad- hopelessly dorky in front of his crush but somehow manages to win her over
later 2007: Paulie Bleecker, Juno- Now, not only does his crush eventually like him in the end but he also manages to get another girl in his crush's absence.
2008: Nick, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist- Has a real girlfriend at the beginning of this movie and then, another girl starts liking him during the movie.

Doesn't this say something about the cultural zeitgeist? That now dorky awkward guys don't even have to fight for their cousin's affection but rather have cute skinny girls just hanging on their every word and fighting each other for them. Gosh. There was a time when I was alone in my dorklove.
