talking about reitman there, not the (weird) journalist
i rank this up there with 500 days of summer (which was even worse) as the film with the most cloyingly overplayed references to its characters' love of indie rock

yeah... you're right. i was able to ignore it in juno though, while the bile kept rising as I watched 500 days

I recently passed by the Milk and Honey store in Port Coquitlam where some of this movie was filmed. It's now gone - closed down after about 40 years. However there's a tattoo place close by called "Ink and Honey".

What a piece of shit movie. Fake cleverness, piss-poor dialogue masquerading as edgy, annoying and dislikable characters, and forced preciousness. Also that one song is a total rip-off of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from Oklahoma.

was at a video rental place the other day, and the clerk was watching the last act of juno. i'd been on the fence about the film at the time of its release and have halfheartedly defended it since, but holy shit is it grating! i sincerely regret anything nice i might ever have said about it. ellen page's performance is horribly forced, and the dialogue an agonizing parade of desperate would-be cleverness. oh god, and the saccharine, cutie-pie nonsense music, it never stops. the whole thing is trying so hard in every moment to be smart, hip and endearing that it becomes a terrible form of abuse. the worst part was that i had come into the store near the end of the film and was glad when it was over, only to have the dude start the damn thing up again, like he was studying it. chased me right back out into the street (which may have been the point, i dunno).

The best part of this whole movie was JK Simmons but he's pretty much the best period.

this isnt a bad movie - like, it's not for me at all, but i expected it to be a lot worse - thought the jen garner character was pretty well handled
had NO idea it made that much money though. i knew it was pretty successful but jesus.

i can't fathom why it got oscar love, but part of the reason I can't hate this movie hardcore is that I'm down with those precocious teens getting a movie catered directly to them

Yeah, I didn't think this was horrible or anything. I just wasn't really into it. Plus, I really hate Ellen Page. That might have had something to do with it.

see i'd be fine if this at all sounded or acted like teenagers. but wtf was the dialogue? most of the characters sounded like they had a mental disability. it was like cody watched buffy, decided that wasn't enough and tried to do uber whedon dialogue and forgot to make any of it sound logical or make sense.
i don't care that this movie was twee, or lol pro-life or whatever. i just wish that for a precocious teen movie is should have been written to at least be like precocious teens and not some old skank strippers idea of what precocious teens sound like.

lol harsh. However, I'd have to watch it again but I think I kind of agree with that. I remember the dialogue bugging the shit out of me and thinking "nobody talks like that!".

someone should do a video where george c. scott watches this scene
Leah: Yo Yo Yiggady Yo. Juno MacGuff: I'm at suicide risk. Leah: Juno? Juno MacGuff: No, it's Morgan Freeman. Do you have any bones that need collecting? Leah: Only the one in my pants... Juno MacGuff: I'm pregnant. Leah: What? Honest to blog? Juno MacGuff: Yeah. Yeah, it's Bleekers. Leah: It's probably just a food baby. Did you have a big lunch? Juno MacGuff: No, this is not a food baby all right? I've taken like three pregnancy tests, and I'm forshizz up the spout. Leah: How did you even generate enough pee for three pregnancy tests? That's amazing... Juno MacGuff: I don't know, I drank like, ten tons of Sunny D... Anyway dude, I'm telling you I'm pregnant and you're acting shockingly cavalier. Leah: Is this for real? Like, for real for real? Juno MacGuff: Unfortunately, yes. Leah: Oh my GOD. Oh shit! Phuket, Thailand! Juno MacGuff: There we go. That was kind of the emotion that I was searching for on the first take.

After defending Up in the Air against charges of everything from bestiality to mass murder last year (partial exaggeration), I watched Juno for the first time a couple of months ago and was surprised by how thoroughly I disliked it.
