It’s sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
There are few films that I identify with more than Young Adult. I consider it something of a personal affront that the film was completely ignored by the Academy Awards in 2012, but it’s a much darker comedy than most people can appreciate. I love the intense character study undertaken by Diablo and Jason; surprising no one, Charlize is impeccable as a woman on the verge. In an homage to Mavis and her ironclad liver, I’d recommend playing the drinking game with Maker’s, but if your body (or wallet) can’t handle it, I guess you could just use some Hard Jack’s Cider.
One must drink from beverage when:
- Mavis drinks whiskey/bourbon
- Terrible eating habits are witnessed
- Anyone is addressed or discussed using their full name
- Cosmetic enhancements or maintenance appear in a montage
- Reality TV makes an onscreen appearance
- Any character is appalled by the behavior of Mavis
- Mavis uses her Blackberry
Optional Shit-faced Rule: You have to drink every time they mention Mavis Gary’s career.
I am still filled with murderous rage every time I think about the fact that Young Adult was completely shut out by the Academy in 2012.
Important Conversations: Discussing Work Promotion or Sexuality?

- Christi: did charlize theron surprise you in bed last night?

- me: I'm moving to the portfolio that travels to London and Brazil
Mavis looks out at Buddy’s house in the darkness. It’s small, ordinary. There’s a light on in one of the rooms.
MAVIS
Do you see that light there?
MATT
Yeah.
MAVIS
I bet Buddy’s awake and secretly jerking off or something.
MATT
Or perhaps he’s caring for his infant daughter.
Mavis refuses to be affected by this remark. She blows a bubble as she watches the house.
MAVIS
The baby, the baby.
MATT
The problem that has no name.
Mavis throws the car into gear and drives off.
I like your decor. It it… shabby chic?

I hate this town! It’s a hick, lake town that smells of fish shit!
Lily knows me and understands me.
She wears denim wherever she goes. Says she’s gonna get some records by the Status Quo, oh yeah! I didn’t want to hurt you. Oh yeah!
I’m in love with this poster for Young Adult.
A very happy 37th birthday to one of the sexiest women in the entire world.
I shall give this wretched world the queen it deserves.
London hosted the international premiére of Prometheus way back on May 31. As always, Charlize Theron looked amazing.
Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, and Logan Marshall-Green just kinda stood there.
Coming up this weekend in Manhattan, Stacy and some of my closest friends are storming the theater for MaraTheron 2012 - a viewing of Prometheus and Snow White and the Hunstman back to back.
Obviously it’s the most important event of the year.
I gotta testify, come up in the spot lookin' extra fly...
