The poster for the indie film Paper Heart has been released.  It gives me a warm fuzzy inside.  Read the plot synopsis and check out the trailer after the jump.

Plot Synopsis (via Slashfilm)

Paper Heart follows Charlyne as she embarks on a quest across America to make a documentary about the one subject she doesn’t understand: Love. As she and her friend and director Nicholas Jasenovec, together search for answers and advice, you get the idea that this new generation’s cynicism isn’t the whole story. On their journey, Charlyne talks with an eclectic array of friends and acquaintances, including scientists, bikers, romance novelists, and children. They offer diverse views on modern romance, as well as various answers to the age-old question: does love really exist?

Shortly after filming begins, Charlyne meets a man after own heart, Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, the pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a new urgency when she risks losing the person closest to her heart. Combining elements of storytelling, reality and fantasy, Paper Heart brings a fresh perspective to the modern romance and redefines the classic love story.

Paper Heart was directed by Nicholas Jasenovec and co-written by Nicholas Jasenovec and Charlyne Yi. The film stars Charlyne Yi, Michael Cera, and Jake M. Johnson as Nicholas Jasenovec.

Watch the trailer in HD on Apple. Paper Heart will be in theaters on August 7th 2009.

Last night, during the American Idol Results Show, when the contestants came out to sing their God-awful group performance I turned to my wife and speculated they were lip syncing.  I then sent out a message into the Twitterverse.

Well, today my speculations were confirmed with The New York Times article ‘Idol’ Group Numbers: Not So Live After All:

A spokesman for the producers of “American Idol” said as much on Wednesday, after assertions by a former “American Idol” contestant that the weekly group numbers, which are performed near the beginning of each week’s results show, appear to be using recorded vocals this year.

This is why I watch the show.  Even though there is actually one relevant artist this year, I love to make fun of the stupidity of the producers and judges.  You’d think we’d have learned from Milli Vanilli.  Well, at least we won’t see any Kanye West performances again.
