Let’s Recycle! BlogNosh 06/30/08
The Coens recycle images, action movie screenwriters recycle jabs at the audience, and George Clooney's bat suit is recycled to aid documentation of Greydon Carter's vision of young hotness.
Some thoughts on Vanity Fair’s Bright Young Hollwood thing: the only people I recognize besides for Jonah Hill and the kids from The Wackness are on this page, but that’s because I don’t watch Gossip Girl, right? Also: is Kat Dennings, like, wearing a bat suit?- There are some things in No Country For Old Men that look a lot like things from Raising Arizona. Discuss.
- Considering similar lines in Wanted and Jumper that each put the audience member in the unfavorable position of being condescended to by a pretty-boy unlikely action star, Glenn Kenny wonders, “Have screenwriters become so defensive/resentful on account of churning out quasi-nihilistic, faux-convoluted, graphic-novel-mytho-Babel tripe like this that they feel compelled to lash out at the audience that laps their nonsense up?”

Yes, Glenn. Yes, they do.
But I think the line in Jumper was much worse.
Karina, by recognize do you mean facially or by name? If the latter, you probably should be more familiar. Actually, by the former, you should also be familiar. You might be eating lunch across from Olivia Thirlby (she of constant self-proclaimed non-recognizability) right now!
Oh, I recognized her–she’s one of the kids from The Wackness. I recognized a few others by name, but not by face.
