It's supposed to work and move like a memory, sort of like how Dazed and Confused did. The whole virgin aspect, I think, is a homage to the films from the period in which it's set, and not very much more than that. It's about the feel. And Adventureland gets the feel exactly right.

(twlight reference, same actress) We liked the movie, but mostly for how seamlessly the 70s fit into the present day. The look of the film could have conveyed either if you don't count the technology. This shout out is so much cooler than my niece saying, “You look just like Bella!”
