cool ethan

i have a weird affinity for jason schwartzman. he seems like such a dick. but he's hilarious and dammit, he is a good songwriter/performer.

i'm listening to she & him and he co-wrote "sweet darlin'" with zooey deschanel. it's so catchy and simple. a nice throwback to early beatles.

anyway, i was watching shop girl the other night and jason schwartzman was once again, entertaining and charming in his "i want to hold his hand but also want to punch him in the face" kind of way. he has a way of just throwing great lines out like there is a never-ending supply of them at his disposal.

our generations' movie leading men are different than previous generations, it seems. they are uniquely sexy in their intelligence. vulger and vulnerable. capable of evolving if need be. lovable/loathable, creative guys. i can dig it.

see also michael cera, seth rogan, jason segel.
