So is it just me (and i’m pretty sure it’s not) or is Michael Cera truly just a one-trick pony? This new movie, “Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, seems like a sequel to both (the darling indie film of 2007) “Juno” and the college sensation that was “Superbad”.
In all honesty, i thought Cera was great in Arrested Development (a show that i never bothered to pay even the slightest bit of attention to until a couple months ago). But, let’s face it, he plays George Michael no matter what he’s doing. It’s always the same thing.
And i just don’t get why we (as an enthusiastic cinema-going American society) keep casting him as that same god damn character in every indie movie conceived in the last 2 years. It’s just rediculous. You want to talk about this new “Big Bang Machine” that almost kinda/sorta destroyed the very fabric of time and space as we know it? I say we talk about Michael Cera instead. Let’s fear for our lives because of him, not this mini-blackhole-creepy-crawlers-easy-bake-oven thinger.
If anything, Michael Cera will undo the very fabric of the universe unless we stop casting Michael Cera in shitty indie films. Napoleon Dynamite is over, guys. Can we stop trying to copy that weird indie-film, pseudo-Wes-Anderson film format? And for christ’s sake let’s stop throwing Michael Cera into any fucking role that is basically a resemblance of the George Michael character from AD. I mean, really, is he any better than that douchebag Hayden Christiansen? Let’s throw Cera into a new failed attempt at continuing the Star Wars saga. Why not? He can be our new Jar Jar Binks.
Yo, Cera, go get naked with a horse in an off-broadway play like that Harry Potter kid. Maybe at least try to convince people that you have some semblance of range, eh?
