As a result, viewings of Midnight in Paris on the big screen became events in the Smug Olympics of the urban iPad class, with audiences risking physical injury as they competed to laugh the loudest to demonstrate to all around that yes, they know who Gertrude Stein is. It was laughter directed at the audience itself, not at the screen. Laughing to show you get the joke. Or since there are no jokes, laughing to show you get the reference.

    Thank you. It wasn’t that good, it just looked good. Woody Allen has made far better in the past 10 years.

    Well *excuse me* I just thought it was a cute movie and I very much agreed with the message of not letting nostalgia...
  13. megsokay said: I just wanted the movie to be about Allison Pill’s Zelda, Tom Hiddleston’s Fitzgerald and What’s His Name’s Hemingway in a creative love triangle. The rest was fun fluff, but those three are the reason I was obsessed with the film.
