Finally I can decide if I would hate Elephant even more if it was a hackneyed jukebox musical.

Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang"?

Because most of the women who watch this are neither smart/funny/or quirky?

I am glad to know with this, Ice Age's Pitchfork writeups, and Iggy Pop's promotion this is going to be the hyped band I am completely apathetic to of 2013.

Or is there a core-script with a bunch of random asides thrown in?  This makes me wish there was a ____ Movie writing course I could take.

Maybe something to do with conservative attitudes towards music as well?  It would explain why music loved by conservatives seems to ignore new-wave, punk, and no-wave ever happening.  Though props to Jon Huntsman and his love of Captain Beefheart.

(stares bleakly at the looming abyss of 90's revival)

Think of all the slap-stick fun they could have had with an Antichrist parody.

That plus the Black Swan jokes really make me wonder when this script was written.  

You forget suburban kids who imitate their 50 something parents boring tastes in music.

Never have I been so relieved in not knowing a correct spelling.

A Haunted House is now looking to become the secular Medea…god help us all.

I'd say because in spite of a superficial party shift the same corrupt order has controlled most of the South since Reconstruction.  Hence while the racial, and social issues change(now we are seeing ridiculous economy shattering immigration laws) there still hasn't been much change in the Deep South.  This obviously…

You would think the YYYs would embrace cellphones at a show for some augmented reality antics.  Or at least you would think someone would have some strange live in concert app.

In other words "Beautiful Creatures" as well

I think AV Club saying this is going to be in theaters plural is a bit optimistic.

Can we skip that stage and just go to Lily Collins and make this the first supernatural teen romance/western movie that I know of.

I am now even more morbidly curious to see this whichever January it comes out on.

I cannot confirm or deny that the world is controlled by a secret subterranean council led by Liberace, Rock Hudson, and Tom Ewell.

Yeah when I first heard about this I thought they would get Winona Ryder for the role.  Still wishing that would have happened.
