...displayed that stricken look, as if he'd received a vision of what life has in store for him, and it worries him sick. He seems prematurely 40, so that any teen trauma has the impact of a midlife crisis or some awful dream endlessly repeating itself. As Nick O'Leary in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, he's the theoretically cool bass player in a band playing a Manhattan club. Except that the band is called the Jerk Offs, the other two members are gay, their audience includes blasé members of Nick's New Jersey high school...
...Peter Sollett and scripted by Lorene Scafaria, from a novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, is that spending a night in New York City can crack the shell of stereotype to reveal your utterly cool inner life to someone who turns out to be your soul mate. For Nick, that would be Norah Silverberg (Kat Dennings), whose top-girl hauteur masks her discontent with every punk-star wannabe who wants a recording contract with her music-producer father.

The producers decided, astutely, that it needed to return dirtier and sexier, or there would be no mo' money. The return episode is also funnier and dumber, in the best sense: it's the kind of show in which a jilted wife confronts her politician husband with a golf club in the shower over his tranny lover. Its stripped-from-the-tabloids...
...What he's got is mind-blowing confidence. He doesn't do doubt," says Nick Marcq, a filmmaker and godfather to the Camerons' youngest son. Another defining characteristic, says Marcq, is Cameron's formidable willpower. He recalls that Cameron once challenged him to an underwater race in a 50-m-long swimming pool during a family holiday. "I must have got 10 m before I came up because my heart was about to pop. He went...
