Another new random photo of the Rachel McAdams, Eric Bana sci-fi/romance picture (there’s a new genre for you) and long-delayed, “The Time Traveler’s Wife.”
The cool thing about this one other than it being quite the pretty shot? In the blurry, out-of-focus background we can see Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning and Justin Peroff of Canadian indie-rockers Broken Social Scene who are featured in the film in a wedding scene playing an undisclosed BSS track which eventually morphs into a quick snippet medley of Joy Division’s classic, “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”
Looks like it’s probably right from the scene in question, huh?
The film is now slated for an August 14, 2009 release, and Broken Social Scene — big fans of their music in films — have moved on to helping Edgar Wright with the musical side of “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.”
Speaking of ‘Pilgrim’ to your right is a picture of Michael Cera wearing a Smashing Pumpkins T-shirt, which is a big part of the comic-books lore; one of the books is titled “Scott Pilgrim And The Infinite Sadness,” a reference to a very emo SP album (click on it for a much larger version).
The picture looks so damn good I wish it was just a romance movie.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness = emo? Seriously, come on guys.
Seriously, what do you subscribe to the Pitchfork anal school? Emo is already everything from the early emo-core punk bands to Bright Eyes, to Dashboard Confessional, bands with little to do with each other other than they came from the same woe-is-me, whiny, heart-on-sleeve mien.
Pumpkins may have not sounded like that (again, sound has nothing to do with), but as far as being all those qualities, especially whiny and feeling sorry for oneself?
Holy shit the album was called *Melancholy* & The Infinite Sadness,' (sadness on sadness?) it might has well have been called, Please Wipe My Ass, I'm Sobbing So Much, All I Can Do Is Suck On This Bwottle My Mummy Gave Me."
SP might have preceded when the emo term came around (do yo even remember emo-core before emo?), but it doesn't mean that insufferable whining doesn't come from the same place.
When is TTTW coming out or at least when will a trailer be seen?
