Trailer for Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings (the annoying daughter from 40-Year-Old Virgin).

Apatow v. Miller: Who knew the guy behind Capote was so funny?
Somehow, Owen Wilson got cut from Knocked Up despite providing the funniest of the celebrity interviews. Somehow, this has escaped me until now.
I feel there’s a slight disconnect when one orders a “Monster” sandwich in one’s workout stretch pants.
FINALLY, the trailer for Rian Brick Johnson’s sophomore feature has graced us with its presence. While the film has a distinctly Wes Anderson feel, a cast that good and a filmmaker that talented still have me salivating for The Brothers Bloom. (via ontd)
The movie, for which I shakily held the camera, we made for Felipe’s Community Shorts project has generously popped up on their site.
There’s nothing like trying on clothes at Urban Outfitters to make you feel like an out-of-date hippo.
