Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

I know, I know Im way too late with the movie. But I just recently read the book and just finished watching it on dvd and my god, call me lame but whatever. It was pretty awesome! Okay, fine, it was awesome! I love it in probably the same way as I would love sex and the city the movie! And that’s got to mean something coming from someone like me. As always, the movie will never be comparable to the book but the movie version wasn’t so bad that it would totally destroy the sheer magnificence of the story that was seriously eloquently (as I see it) written. I mean it was like poetry! Or at least that’s how I would consider those lines. Im way too in love with it; and it’s not the typical boy meets girl crap you see in every film. It’s funny but not in the way that it was meant to be funny; it was more on the witty sense. And another great thing that I love about it was how these two random people built an instant connection through music. It’s like what Nick said, “I am holding her and wanting and knowing and hoping all at once. We are the ones who take this thing called music and line it up with this thing called time. We are the ticking, we are the pulsing, we are underneath every part of this moment. And by making the moment our own, we are rendering it timeless.”

But my favorite line/s has got to be this one..

“I press forward and she’s right there and I'm reaching out and she's right there and right at that moment the amps amplify and the music takes on such a pulse that it becomes my heartbeat and her heartbeat and I know it and she knows it and this is the point where we could break apart and that would be it, totally it. But i look into her eyes and she looks into my eyes and we recognize it - the excitement of being here, the excitement of being now. And maybe I'm realizing what a part of it she is and maybe she's realizing what a part of it I am, because suddenly we're not crashing as much as we're combining. The chords swirling around us are becoming a tornado, tightening and tightening and tightening, and we are at the center of each other. My wrist touches hers right at the point of our pulses, and I swear I can feel it. That thrum. We are moving to the music and at the same time we are a stillness. I am not losing myself in the barrage. I am finding her. And she is- yes, she is finding me.”
