what u see in the movies. When u walk around NYC, the city doesn't have
speakers that play Mika, Vagina Spektor, and Feist in the background
(no playlist exists that automatically plays songs utilized in iPod
commercials). A lot of people come to NYC thinking that every1 listens
to alt-ish mainstream hits, but it's not like that at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I
hope this movie doesn't make suburbanites think that NYC is all abt
'meaningful small interactions' that trick people into thinking that
they r alive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does NYC mean 2 u?&lt;br /&gt;a) minorities&lt;br /&gt;b) minorities who don't speak English (the bad kind)&lt;br /&gt;c) dirtie&lt;br /&gt;d) overrated&lt;br /&gt;e) not so alt after 2k1&lt;br /&gt;f) a creative place 4 creative people&lt;br /&gt;g) an okay place, but wish people didn't make such a big deal abt it&lt;br /&gt;h) the place where the New York Yankees play&lt;br /&gt;i) the most authentic city in the world&lt;br /&gt;j) the most meaningful city in the world&lt;br /&gt;k) a place that entry-level alts go to graduate into 100% d-bag alt that they always dreamed of being&lt;br /&gt;l) NYC is the only place where my dreams will come true and my self-concept will be realized&lt;br /&gt;m) is that the city where they filmed 'The Hipster Olympics' viral video?&lt;br /&gt;n) the city where my rich friend moved to&lt;br /&gt;o) the city where my successful friend lives&lt;br /&gt;p) 'home'&lt;br /&gt;q) Choose.Your.Own.Response.&lt;/p&gt;</body>

  <deck>&lt;p&gt;From the super-meaningful folks that brought you &lt;em&gt;Paris, je t'aime &lt;/em&gt;comes a similarly saccharine film about New York. After watching the trailer, Hipster Runoff decides to switch art schools so that those little &quot;New York&quot; moments will be easier to capture.&lt;/p&gt;</deck>
