PJ: so battle of the obnoxious story tropes: “the id as plush toy”
\nPJ: vs “introverted writer is brought to life when he falls in love with quirky hot chick”
\nPJ: which one do you hate more?
\nMATT: Well, the second one is more rampant.
\nBRAIN: that is called the Manic Pixie Dream Girl movie
\nPJ: I knew there was a better name\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I just didn’t wanna look it up <\/p>\n

BRAIN: GARDEN STATE<\/a>
\nMATT: It had a good soundtrack, but it was a pretty bad movie.
\nBRAIN: The Shins<\/a>? did they change your life?
\nPJ: reading the script for that might slow it down even further and actually stop time

\nPJ: I honestly don’t remember<\/p>\n

BRAIN: what are they doing? where do they go, and why?

\nMATT: They went to … uhh, hm.
\nPJ: there’s something about them riding bikes around
\nMATT: I thought there was a boat.
\nBRAIN: there’s a bunch of wacky vignettes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
