'Ruby Sparks' fizzles behind Zoe Kazan's tweepulsive screenplaynew
Vanity Fair had the right idea late last year when it started recapping episodes of the comedy series New Girl by categorizing each of Zooey Deschanel’s idiosyncrasies as either “adorkable” (a personality trait described as dorky and adorable) or “tweepulsive” (the same trait, but at a more cloying level).
