How to Make A Michael Cera Movie



It seems like a lot of people I know have gotten tired of Michael Cera’s same-old-act, and the $7 million opening of his new film, Youth in Revolt, seems to suggest it might be more widespread than just a couple of my friends. High Definite has created an infographic showing the paint by numbers steps involved in creating a Michael Cera comedy. I can no longer find the image on the source site, so I’ve included the whole thing after the jump.

It makes me mad because he wasn't supposed to be a virgin in Nick and Norah x.x

I saw this gif before I saw this episode, and I seriously didn't know this was shopped. Haha, me.

[info]astormatsea 15th-Jan-2010 06:55 pm (UTC)
not funny or attractive enough to make it long-term in hollywood, or in life, tbh

[info]infinitycluster 15th-Jan-2010 07:02 pm (UTC)

[info]missthing19 15th-Jan-2010 06:57 pm (UTC)
That's funny (and, sadly, true).
[info]ledgers 15th-Jan-2010 06:57 pm (UTC)
Why do people even find movies with this awkward loser enjoyable? Man I hate coming of age movies.
[info]crazyyogurt 15th-Jan-2010 07:00 pm (UTC)
Even John Hughes movies?
[info]ledgers 15th-Jan-2010 07:02 pm (UTC)
They're definitely not as intolerable, but I just have no great love for the genre.
[info]boomstick 15th-Jan-2010 07:04 pm (UTC)
I loved Superbad, but then...he wasn't really the *~star~* of that one. One of the stars, but not the focal point so his awkwardness wasn't as heavy.

Also Arrested Development will always be amazing. His awkwardness really worked for him in that show. Now it's tiresome.
[info]now_all_is_well 15th-Jan-2010 09:17 pm (UTC)
I liked Juno, Superbad was ok, hated Nick and Norah and want to see Youth and Revolt.
[info]nandayarou 15th-Jan-2010 06:58 pm (UTC)
Hahahah lol
[info]amoramoamitto 15th-Jan-2010 06:58 pm (UTC)
he is so....omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
[info]crudelydrawn 15th-Jan-2010 06:58 pm (UTC)
Ohhh, no. This could still kind of apply to Scott Pilgrim...

Admittedly, I'm kind of tired of Cera doing the same thing again and again but I really do hope he kicks ass as Scott.
[info]bunny_tsukino 15th-Jan-2010 07:56 pm (UTC)
I really hope they don't fuck that up. Scott can be a bit awkward, but not Cera level of awkward. Scott Pilgrim is more like a lovable dolt with flashes of silly and awesome.
[info]jennitarox 15th-Jan-2010 06:58 pm (UTC)
Pretty much all his movies
[info]wrongsideoftown 15th-Jan-2010 06:59 pm (UTC)
lol basically
[info]omfgpubichair 15th-Jan-2010 06:59 pm (UTC)
we made it through like ten minutes of youth in revolt yesterday before we were like fuck it lets go watch a movie where the characters talk like real people talk
[info]tellthestars 15th-Jan-2010 07:15 pm (UTC)
yeah I watched Youth In Revolt online.... I'm so happy I didn't waste the money, but at the same time I'm mad that I wasted my time watching it.
[info]audiblewhispers 15th-Jan-2010 07:25 pm (UTC)
Do you happen to still have the link to it?
[info]birdscollide 15th-Jan-2010 07:17 pm (UTC)
:(

I had some hope for that movie (even with Michael Cera in it) cause I read the book when I was younger.

It was that bad?
[info]fading_october 15th-Jan-2010 09:44 pm (UTC)
to be fair, that's how the book is written.
[info]fuckingpixie 15th-Jan-2010 08:50 pm (UTC)
this. I don't care if he can only play one character, it is adorable.
