On Saturday
Like, for movies–I can acknowledge that Citizen Kane is a tour de force and is all sorts of wonderful, cinematically speaking, but . . . I just don’t like it. I find it impressive and quite an accomplishment, but it’s not my cup of tea.
So . . . what book (or books) is your Citizen Kane?
Oh geez. This is an impossible question to answer. If I was forced to pick a book, I think I'd have to say Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I read it almost a year ago and it just didn't hit me as hard as I was expecting it to, based on all the hype it'd been getting. I'm not saying that it was that horrible of a book; it really wasn't. It's got a nice plot, fun characters, and it's written pretty well, it just didn't live up to my expectations. It isn't a book I'd put on my list of favorites.
But speaking of Nick and Norah's, have any of you seen the movie yet? I really want to because, based on the trailers and all the advertising, it seems like it will be pretty decent. I loved Michael Cera in Juno with all his nerdy wonderfulness, so I'd go just to see him act in another fun movie. If you've seen it, what were your thoughts? Is it anything like the book? I might go and see it tomorrow if I have time, and I'll definitely do a post with my thoughts. :)
