will and I went to see Adventureland yesterday, which I loved, loved. will said I was grinning through the whole thing.
melancholy, nostalgia, the haze of transition--all of the moods I like to contemplate and wallow in. all of this plus a few moments of sublime comic relief, thanks mostly to kristen wiig, and a killer soundtrack. In my mind, it was the best movie soundtrack ever. Lou Reed, the Cure, the Replacements, Crowded House. I would buy the soundtrack if I didn't have most of the songs already--but I will be filling in the gaps.
you should go see it. you might not love it as much as I did, but it is a lovely movie.

I can't wait!!
Loved it. The movie captured very accurately a certain time in my life: A summer of washing dishes at a Thai restaurant, climbing all the time, smoking weed with the gf and hanging out at the beach in between semesters at Jr. College.
I loved it so much! At one point, I leaned over to J and said, "I love this movie." That's how much. And you're right, an excellent, excellent soundtrack.
thought about seeing this last night; instead went to Benjamin button at the cheap theater. BB is good, amazing they pulled it off without too many glitches but wow it's long.
