Intertextuality
Why did Peter Sollet and his studio call his movie "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist"? Surely, they must want us to think about this once-popular film (and television) series. So what are the correspondences? As far as I can tell from Sollet's promo-material, the bars and clubs of New York, and the excessive drinking that goes along with?
I'm rather unlikely to watch Sollet's film (the genre is not really my thing), so I can't be sure my suspicion is correct; however, I can't help but feel of this as, in some strange way, a waste of a good title. That feeling prompted me to think about intertextuality and how it plays an important part of our exposure to popular art and culture.
