On Poor 'Scott Pilgrim': Michael Cera Scares The Olds and Irritates The Youngs
"You know, when you started getting invited to your ten year high school reunion, time is catching up."
"Are you talking about a sense of my own mortality or a fear of death?"
"Well, I never really thought about it quite like that"
"Did you go to yours?"
"Yes, I did. It was just as if everyone had swelled."

On Poor 'Scott Pilgrim': Michael Cera Scares The Olds and Irritates The Youngs
My personal hatred for Michael Cera derives mostly from writers and producers shoving his persona down my throat (ahem) as an acceptable, even ideal, male lead/romantic interest.
Looking and acting like a 14-year-old when you're 22 isn't sexy. It is not endearing. As a female with a healthy sense of her own sexuality I'm a bit insulted that it's supposed to be. You would need SO MUCH GREY MATTER UP THERE to look and act like Michael Cera and get me into bed.
Men. Are better. Than boys. Think about it, Hollywood.

Dear Mary, there is a bored 21-year-old New Hampshirite English major quietly counting down to the day she can leave her whitebread state school and go to Big City and tell you in person about the HUGE THROBBING GIRLCRUSH she has on you.
