with frou frou's "let go" and the shirt the same color as the wallpaper and the oxygen masks on the airplane and the awesomeness that is (was?) peter sarsgaard and thinking, "dude. j.d. from scrubs might be the next great filmmaker of our generation."

then i actually *saw* "garden state," and IMMEDIATELY started hating him. not only did the movie suck, but there's a really obvious, blatantly distracting editing issue at the end of it that ensures that i'll never watch it again.

that soundtrack IS dope, though.

but yeah, after that? i couldn't stand him, and now he's so irrelevant to me (and maybe the writers of "the office") that i laughed uncontrollably when he was a punchline in the kaling-penned "diwali" ep where kelly's sister calls ryan "zach braff" as an insult.
