I just don't understand how people can still see John Cusack's character as a an individual who deserves any kind of sympathy.
When people say they can relate to him, I have to wonder why.

Yah, and how he goes (with a slight twitch), "...Correct," when his flirt at the counter surprises him by interjecting, "The Clash!" God, I've known people like him. But then how could I not? I lived in a pretentious little college town.

Overall, the movie is nostalgic for me--nostalgic for a place that may not even have existed except in my imagination. Championship Vinyl is the place I wanted every one of my favorite record stores to really be. Run by snobs for snobs, run as place where people really talked about music, and where relationships really did begin and end over music. A total music fan's wet dream, at least for a certain generation.

I also love Barry (Jack Black's) sarcastic minor rant about "Oh, I thought we wanted customers to come. I didn't know not having customers was a business strategy," or something like that. And Cusack can't say anything. Perfect.

I know what you mean, although people have told me that im like him, which by extension means i am deserving of no sympathy, which is troubling. I hate Belle and Sebastien though which saves me somewhat from the fires.

I've had four different people, within the past week, tell me that they saw Juno and the main character reminded them of me. One actually phoned me for the sole purpose of telling me this. I have not seen this movie, I was not planning on seeing it, and now I am going to actually try not to see it. I don't know if I could sit there and watch it.

haha yeah, i love the US Maple poster that they have up. I just keep spotting new records in the backgrounds. I love Barry's little reccomendation of Psychocandy and Blonde on Blonde to that guy. |

I got the impression Barry just made the name up to bug the Cusack character, and that all along the band was really what we see at the end.
