I read an article that said these newer 3d movies are giving people migraines because of "unnatural eye movements".
I just finished watching Youth In Revolt. It was okay. Justin Long was almost tolerable in this one, and Fred Willard high on shrooms is amusing. Michael Cera plays Michael Cera, as usual. He's a smartass intellectual wannabe with a miserable life...Jean Smart and Steve Buscemi do well as his divorced parents, with Zach Galifianakis as his mom's boyfriend. He's in love with an unattainable Francophile who listens to Gainsbourg (but pronounces it Gains-burg for some reason, despite the over-the top trilling and phlegmy Rs everywhere else) and would do anything to escape her religious parents' clutches.
Insert hijinks and an ex boyfriend who looks disturbingly like Fred from Scooby-Doo, blah blah blah, gets the girl in the end. But all of the pseudo-Indie shit, the 70s harvest gold interiors and shag carpeting and vinyls and Gainsbourg and all that stuff...I have a lot of trouble buying it as cool and novel. Maybe because I refuse to admit that my parents were cool.
