Today's parody movies suck

In order to defend Michael Cera a bit...dude is just a character actor. now that character might be striking gold right now, but that's surely temporary. he does this one thing well and sticks to it. Movies have always used guys like that: need a dick hire Billy Zabka need a weasel hire Ned Sparks need a snitch hire Elisha Cook Jr need a yuppie hire Bradley Whitford. Micheal Cera's very existence makes exposition unnecessary, you know he is awkward and shy and whatever just because its Cera. It works and he nails it.

 

besides Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist is the cat's ass--I don't care what my girlfriend says

 

Bingo.

 

Ever listen to the Bill Simmons podcast (The B.S. Report)? The producer is a guy named Joe Mead. He sounds just like Cera. I keep expecting him to say "She wasn't giving you the evil eye. That's just her face." Bonus: Mead's parents are from Buffalo, so he's a Bills/Sabres fan.
