lol i loved that annoying music that would play it sounded so weird

While very slow, this movie was intriguing and... nice. While Stewart's choppy, fidgety, always-the-same acting makes me want to stab myself, Eisenberg really pulls through with a charming and stellar performance.

Kristen Stewarts acting, not so great, but I really enjoyed the movie. The soundtrack is great.

Did anyone else notice the bad editing? There were multiple shots in which the microphone and sound equipment is visible at the top of the screen.

Lou Reed. I'm 39 and he's even a little before my time so It's funny but I didn't think about the fact that you younguns wouldn't know who the heck they were talking about. This movie was good, I really like Kristen, she is fast becoming one of my favorite actresses.
