Where The Emo Things Are?

I guess everyone's drank the Spike Jonez Kool-Aid.

Guess I'll stick with the Peter Shickele narrated piece. If anything, the music is way better than Karen O.

You mean they have "drunk the Spike Jones Kool-Aid".

You mean they have "drunk the Spike Jonez Kool-Aid".

I am going to reserve judgment on this till I see the film.

Do you reserve judgment on all movies until you see them? If so you must be spending a hell of a lot of money to see every single movie that gets released.

No, they just want to wait until they see the movie to open their mouths and speak-a rare trait these days.

It's Spike Jonze, actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Jonze

To paraphrase what I said earlier in this thread, every time you say "hey, I saw the trailer, that looks like a good movie, I want to see it" you're essentially passing judgment on a movie you've never seen.

The trailer for this and the soundtrack say "Self-Indulgent Emo-Fest" to me. pass.

More and more, I see the term "emo" used to deride or ridicule perfectly normal displays of human emotions or works of art trying to deal with the way people express their emotions. I don't get it. Is it an anglo-saxon thing?

Using "emo" to describe things you don't like has jumped the shark so bad, it's caused the phrase "jump the shark" to unjump the shark and become relevant again.

Not only that, but it betrays an irrational unease with emotional expression that I find disturbing.

I couldn't agree with you guys more, and I'm glad you said this.
