netflix was really good to me last weekend and delivered to my doorstep 2 gems, including "nick & norah's infinite playlist" and "zack and miri make a porno". had seen the first, not the second. dove in with total enthusiasm. n&n actually had me the second time which was surprising because i liked the film in theatre, but didn't love it (sometimes i'm like that with films--it takes a few times to catch everything). micahel cera is my hero. and when i say hero, i mean i want him to be my friend. good friend. i want to be able to call him up at 4 am, hold his hand, wear his jacket. i'm sure he feels the exact same way about me.
zack and miri was a different story. it had me at the hand warmer. kept me going with dancing to dmx and asked me to marry it with a conversation about the dutch rudder. and this is rare for me. i can deal with raunch at times, but sometimes it's just too much. after all, i'm not a guy. you need to woo a little too in order to keep me around. kevin smith knows this and knows that it pays off. pays off in the tune of me paying $15 for the dvd the same day at walmart. i don't do that for just any film.
moral of the story here--give the nerds and chubby guys a chance. and guys--don't toss aside a girl just because she's not laying on your hood by the river doing really strange dancing (sounds fun right? not always. scary.)
