"The conventional knowledge in Hollywood is that an unsympathetic female character can tank a movie. I’m hoping that’s not true. I’m knocking on wood really emphatically right now but honestly I have a lot of theories sometimes I wonder if it comes down to mommy issues. The idea of a cold, unlikeable woman or a woman who is not in control of herself is genuinely frightening to people because it threatens civilization itself or threatens the American family.

"I don't even want to tell people, 'It gets better.' I want to just go, 'It's over in four years.' It's, literally, the day after you graduate, you could run into people you went to high school with and you will literally both go, 'What the f---k was that all about? Jesus Christ, I'm sorry, man.' It literally ends like that, if you let it. Because you know what everyone is in high school, whether you're gay or straight or male or female, you know what you are? You're a f---king high schooler!...
So it's totally frightening how uncomfortable Charlize Theron made me during the whole entire forty-five seconds of this (NSFW due to language) new trailer. Seriously, like, I know people who act like this. Frequently.
But enough about that. I cannot wait to see this movie. We've talked it up here enough, and now the ball's in your court, folks - are you going to spend the dough to see this in theaters, or wait 'til it's in the bargain rental section at Blockbuster? />

Oh man, oh man, oh man. This trailer looks so good, right?
Charlize Theron stars in Young Adult as Mavis Gary, an insufferable "young adult" fiction writer who returns to her Minnesota hometown hoping to make her old high school boyfriend fall in love with her (thanks, IMDb). And! It co-stars my dream man, Patrick Wilson, who plays the guy Mavis can't have. And! Patton Oswalt plays the unwilling wingman, an acquaintance from high school who obviously puts up with Mavis's ish because she's so darn cute and catty.
I have totally high hopes for this one you guys---like, even higher hopes than I had for One for the Money. For one thing, anyone who's watched Arrested Development or "Between Two Ferns" knows Charlize has done her career a major disservice, because she has mad comedic timing. Patton Oswalt I'm actually so-so on---I know it isn't fair to hold King of Queens against him, but I just do---but since he is a Career Nerd, I have to stand with him in solidarity. Then there's Patrick Wilson, whose filmography is a veritable Rosetta's Stone of What? Hngh. Love him.
But most importantly, this flick is a Jason Reitman joint. It's great to see him again paired with breakout screenwriter Diablo Cody (they made Juno together), and this movie could be infinitely more affable. Who wants to see a 15-year old act like she's 35, anyway? I'd much rather see a 35-year old act like she's 15. Now you're speakin' my language, Cody. />
