I'm all for postmodern commentary, but this is just plain silly.

A couple of things:
1. I understand the premeditated hate. When something "classic" is appropriated within the highest echelon of ostensible indie culture (Urban Outfitters), a preemptive counter reaction to a "corporate" counterculture is expected.
2. Instead of basing the film merit's on the buzz or popularity of the release, look at the track record instead. For me, what got me excited was the fact that Dave Eggers co-wrote it and Spike Jonze, who directed two brilliant movies (Being John Malkovich and Adaptation). Excited because Eggers has a real quiet realism to his style and because it's interesting to see how Jonze would do wihtout the help of Charlie Kaufman.
3. The trailer knocked my socks off. 'Wake Up' is such a cathartic anthem for our generation (which, unfortunately judging from this website, is made up of trendhoppers who try to reinvent themselves for the sake of not falling into being uncool). I'm happy to hear that 'Funeral' inspired the themes of the film, and I can totally see it.
4. I liked the movie a lot more than I thought I would. It was beautiful both aesthetically and thematically. At this point, a semiotic/thematic/cinematic analysis would be moot, as cultural identity through premeditative likes/dislikes seem to take precedent over debate.
5. Can someone please superimpose Chewie in the last scene on the beach? That would be super.

They're old people! Let them be. I'm sure we're going to hate whatever weird country+rap+pop hybrid that will inevitably develop.

Never noticed this, but the lead singer looks like a younger Billy Corgan. That frightens me.

Was referring to Marcel Duchamp, who is not known for watercolors. Unless Vulva is known for watercolors. But last I checked, (s)he was a fictional character.

I hope Matthew Weiner is aware of the odd fascination with taking seemingly arbitrary scenes, converting them to GIFs and creating out of context comic gold.
