@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus gotta say, they're really hitting this casting out of the nonsensical park.

On the one hand Eva Green

Puckish implies being at least kinda sorta fun, in a "I will screw with you for my own amusement" kind of way.  This guy strikes me as way more of a wet blanket talking about his *feelings* and pretending to be the Vampire Lestat.

The things you do when you're a writer with a perfect SAT verbal score…

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus Now I'm starting to think you're someone I know from college.  That would be…odd.

Yale: always ruining everything.

My biggest issue with this (having accidentally sat through a panel with the author), is that the main character chooses the name Tris.  Of all the names you can possibly pick for yourself, you pick that?

The Hunger Games got reviewed by NPR!

heh.  I had friends who, after college, wrote SAT vocab novels.

Mika Brzezinski, probably. She has to do something to get people to talk about her, 'cos her news reading ain't doing it for her.

The ending made me a little sad.  Gary feels that his life peaked at 19 and he will do anything to recapture that feeling.   He gets older as his friends stay permanently young; he needs to be the leader of the group, cool and adored, to feel anything approaching self-worth.

I had a weird experience with this one: I went with a group of friends who loved loved the rest of Cornetto trilogy and the reaction afterwards ranged from "Overhyped" to "Let us never speak of this again."

oooh have fun.  And stay hydrated.  We had to go find paramedics last year because a girl fainted waiting for a water.

You didn't like Chungking Express?  I don't even know how to process that.  

I still have nightmares that take place in the Speed Racer universe.

Hell yeah it is.  Even though they're always sold out of goddamn maple bars whenever I roll through.

What I don't get is:  if your rich friends could ended up helping you pay for your movie…why didn't you just ask your rich friends first?  Seems a lot easier, no?

Dunno, but apparently in this version, Lydia makes a sex tape!  And Lizzie video blogs about its fallout.

I have eaten at that restaurant too.  It's mediocre on a level that I can't even begin to describe.

Franny and Zooey or GTFO, bench!
