The perennially delayed Youth in Revolt may also be pulled from the fall altogether while the Weinsteins decide what to do with it. To be fair, we haven't seen the movie, but it's a romantic dramedy that stars Michael Cera, Justin Long and Zach Galifianakis and is directed by Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl). Sounds like a no-brainer, and yet it's been treated as if it's impossible to sell, the kind of movie that eventually turns up on video and disappears without any real shot at success. Now that’s the way to build buzz.

For the duration of the shoot, the former Schlenker Hardware building has been rechristened as Little Grocer: The Ghetto's Premiere Coffee Shop. Pizza Pino has been renamed the Black Oak Cafe. The recently-built facade butting up to the county headquarters for presidential candidate Barack Obama sports a sign proclaiming it Too Frank Sausages; that structure is expected to be involved in Thursday's crash scene, Sleet said.
