A new movie titled “Berkeley” opened Friday for a limited theatrical release in Laemmle’s Sunset 5 in West Hollywood and Colorado One in Pasadena.

The movie’s Web site claims that if there is enough of an audience, the movie will have a national release.We sure hope not. We at the Clog are not the movie-reviewing type, but we do know that this movie fits into our general annoyance with people projecting onto Berkeley what they want it to be like.

We know how the upper-middle-class businessman who smoked pot once in his life during their college days likes to fake nostalgia for some revolution they weren’t a part of. We also know how the edgy preteen hipsters like to come to Berkeley on their days off school and buy tie-die and bongs on Telegraph Avenue, later friending the movie on MySpace.But for us elite, Facebook-using, oh-so-different Cloggers, we need none of this trite and formulaic nostalgia.
