Say what you will about that film and Noah Baumbach in general. I don't care. I absolutely love The Squid and the Whale. It may be pretentious, but it's earnest, troubling, uncomfortable and completely hilarious all at the same time.
Anyway, the real point of this post is to mention that I saw Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Walt Berkman in the film, on 5th Ave. the other day.
In order to spare myself the humiliation, I didn't approach him. I wouldn't have had anything of substance to say; instead I would have been my awkward self, mentioned that I loved the film, and then make things more painful by mentioning Kafka.
