    It was really only a matter of time, once those shirtless werewolf-boy pix from That Horrible Franchise hit the internet.

    The only Levi backlash I'm hoping for is the kind that involves his back(side) and a leather lash. #levijohnston

    Has Ms. Palin had some veneers installed? Her "teefs" look beefed up. #levijohnston

    After the Playgirl advertisement, he'll likely become some rich, older lady's, kept boy-toy or the king of Anchorage nightlife. Either way, he wins.

    Oh and contrary to the Post, I think Tank's doing a wonderful job. He's stretched nothing more than a winning smile into what, ten weeks?

    He's already too tall and his hips too predisposed to bearing children for him to keep doing teen geekthrob roles. You can already see the stress lines developing between his brows in the above photo.

    In another year, he will be on Sean Hayes' career trajectory, and donning glasses for the MOW Square Peg in a Round World: The Wally Cox Story.

    I'm willing to go there. I caught Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on a movie channel and thought it was relatively ok. Pretty good even!

    @Thistledew: I laughed once during that movie, at the "Well, you're two penises short of a Shania Twain reimagination band" line. Come on, that is just a classic line. Who would actually write that?

    Ugh...I disagree that "Youth in Revolt" looks all that funny. Even the 3 minute trailer was a drag 2 minutes in. Two hours of non-stop Cera monotone is coma inducing...no clever twists or sub character can make it original. Cast the kid as a serial killer or gay prostitute already for God's sake! Sleeping pills are cheaper than movie tickets.

    am i the only one semi-mortified at the thought of a film adaptation of youth in revolt?

    will carlotta ulansky exist outside of the novel?

    The reason for the backlash is simply that he hasn't picked good movies. If Youth in Revolt is decent and Scott Pilgrim is fun, then people will be back on the bandwagon. Personally, I think he's a better supporting actor than leading man but if Hollywood is offering the roles/money, is he really supposed to turn it down so some hipsters can still lovingly blog about him?

    This post brought to you by the backlash against the Michael Cera backlash, coming to blogs near you in 2010.

    @SoulHonky: Exactly. I think he's the Cusack of his generation. He always played the same sweet character too. Even Martin Blank, though a paid assassin, was pretty much Lloyd Dobler all grown up.

    There was a hipster backlash against Cusack too for a time as well. And he's done fine.

    @Trixie from Toronto: The lesson being, hipsters don't really matter.

    Which I think is kinda the point of the post too, given the sarcasm and all.

    I don't know how to put this gracefully/charitably, but to me Cera has the perpetual facial expression and mien of a stunned woodpecker.

    Identifying as a "hipster" is the first indication that you are no longer hip.

    Awww, don't pick on the kid. Like so many before him (Ray J. Johnson, Matthew McConaughey, "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?," Oxycontin...) it would have been better in small doses, but they took the money and ran.
