It's the art where angst and some notion of idealism can still manage to coexist and to do so they are in dire need of art, the feeding kind.<br />Please! Why do I like the soundtrack?!?!

LA comes across as an almost fragile type of town. I need to revisit that film.<br />Deschanel and Gordon-Leavitt hit the absolute right tone in this film.

And Jo...I will SO see this. Zooey loves the Smiths.<br />And Joseph Gordon-Leavitt is in it too? Btw, talk about a child actor who transitioned really well to adulthood.<br />His intensity in Brick was a beautiful thing to watch.... Absolutely.<br />I cannot wait to see this.
