A MOVIE TO WEAR YOUR SCARF TO
07.15.09
(Google caption: “WET SCHOOLGIRL”)
After sparking a bidding war at Sundance, An Education opens in October. You can watch the just-released trailer after the jump. Written by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy, Fever Pitch), adapted from Lynn Barber’s coming-of-age memoir originally published in Granta, it may challenge Away We Go for the title of the year’s most college-y movie. It stars Peters Sarsgaaaard as the swingin fella who swoops in and makes the Oxford-bound schoolgirl played by Carey Mulligan rethink her career path. Because he wants to take her to Paris, you see (*dismissive double wank*).
I’m not sure it’s a good idea to let a dude adapt a woman’s coming-of-age memoir. “Yeah, so this really hot 18-year-old girl is kind of bored, but all that changes when she meets this 30-something guy. He’s super cool and handsome and charming and drives a really cool car and she falls in love with him. And even her parents are totally cool with it…”
Also: Did they try to sneak a penis fence in there?

This is as close as you can get to a male’s version of ‘Twilight’ without getting an NC-17 rating.
At least Michael Bay isn’t the dude in question. Then you’d just have one long slow motion sequence of the wet schoolgirl washing a car.
And then the car explodes.
No, no, no…a “Penis Fence” is a 7-foot tall boarded fence around a schoolyard with a solitary half dollar sized hole about waist-high.
My milkshake kept bringing all the boys to the yard so now I have a penis fence.
Penis fence = swordfight?
Penis fence = purveyor of stolen body parts for really unhappy men.
There might be a “penis fence” in Avon Man.
Bah. Needs more record scratch and dogs covering eyes with paws. Me hatey thinky movies.
Peters Sarsgaaaard was forced lower himself to hipster flicks after Alexander Skarsgård kicked him in the penis fence.
Penis fences are most likely to be erected first thing in the morning.
Excuse me – if any of you nerds know how to change the language settings default in Office 2007, please let me know or e me on FB.
A woman’s coming of age memoir usually means she wrote down her feelings to help cope with having recently become a slut.
Penis fences are totally ineffective on really cold days.
Oops, sorry. I mean ‘after becoming sexually active’. Slut.
Alexander Skarsgård once tipped Peter Sarsgaard 1/16 of his acting ability. It was enough to let Peter quit his job at that particular Beef O’ Bradys.
I went to a trailer for all of my education!
I wear a scarf to every movie about hot schoolgirls running off with Eurotrash dudes and gettin it on in the city of lights.*
* scarf is a new slang for fifi, right?
I have an electric penis fence. It’s called my wife’s vibrator.
My coming of age memoir would document my denial, depression, anger and finally, acceptance of the fact that the female orgasm is indeed only a myth.
I know that in the banner pic it looks like that girl’s been rained on, but don’t be fooled. That’s penis fence juice.
This makes me want to Barfhaard.
Alexander Skarsgård was picked by the Norwegian Minister of the Interior to forcibly remove the “k” from Peter’s name after he disrespected the homeland by marrying a Gyllenhaal.
that fence looked more like a picket-minorah, it helps keep the germans away, theyre kinda like vampires only not as gay
“Cello” must be one of the greatest pseudonyms for vagina I’ve ever heard.
