Is this book better than the "Cocoa Puffs" book? I liked it okay, but got very tired of Klosterman trying to show how cool he is by his knowledge of pop culture. It's the reason I haven't picked up any of his other books.

although it was full of "Klosterman trying to show how cool he is by his knowledge of pop culture" I thought killing yourself to live was pretty good

I'll just repeat the thought someone over on Idolator had, that this seems like an entry on "Stuff White People Like" that pretty much writes itself.

Will they find a way to rope in fellow Minnesotans Coen Brothers to direct, punch-up, or exec produce?

In that case, I would not see this. I prolly still will not. But Coens would be a kiss of death.

I could see how this could suck, but I could also see potential for it to be pretty good. I will reserve judgement until we actually see a completed project.

This could work, considering Craig Finn can only write from the played point of view of a seventeen year old fuckup....
