Is this the Juno thread?

it is a bad movie with pretentious Important Social issues shoehorned between ridiculous bits of High Quirk dialogue about Sonic Youth, and I think that suggesting it would be a better movie if the kid had a late term abortion makes absolutely no sense at all, and is a kind of weird take on what is ultimately neither a good nor important film.

"more movies about unexpected/unwanted pregancies should end in abortion" seems like such a creepy thing to say.

I didn't say that Juno should've been changed, or that it would've been a better movie, to me Juno was just one example of a trend in Hollywood films. I just was commenting on your post where you said teen movies in general should preferably not deal with abortion.

"more movies about unexpected/unwanted pregancies should end in abortion" seems like such a creepy thing to say.

Why is it creepy? Anyway, I wasn't saying that all of them should end with abortion, but maybe at least some of them, which doesn't seem to be the case today in Hollywood.

i heard jamie lynn is going to give up her baby

i didn't say that teen movies shouldn't deal with abortion.

i said that movies about abortion were depressing and dark, and largely unfulfilling, and not really a big draw to the teenage audience

lol max

and all tuomas said was that he was disappointed that almost all movies about pregnancy would rather pander to the abortion-is-murder crowd instead of showing what actually happens

you load an argument with words like 'pander' and it's hard to respond, dude.

'pander to the abortion-is-murder crowd' isn't what most movies that end with birth do at all.

in dramatic terms, it is a lot harder to achieve dramatic fulfillment or a big payoff using abortion for the final scene when adoption or birth has the same story consequences.

Okay, fair enough. But I don't think movies where an abortion happens (they don't need to be just about abortion, just like Juno isn't just about teen pregnancy) necessarily need to be depressing and dark, they could just depict abortion as something that some people have to choose - a serious matter, no doubt, but not as something that is awfully dark and traumatic. To my knowledge that isn't the case with most people who have one.

This is a great movie I think. It reminded me of another favorite movie of mine Garden State. The main characters of both movies are so real and so funny. Such a powerful acting.

Get the fuck off.

soundtrack to #2!

it definitely makes me want to take a shit

lol

at least kimya didnt get an oscar nom

because there weren't any songs eligible.

"at least," so we get to hear 3 fucking Enchanted songs. c'MON, show cancellation!

The Rhino soundtrack to "Juno" becomes the label's first No. 1 album on The Billboard 200, moving up 2-1 with a 13% increase to 65,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the first film soundtrack to top the chart since last year's "Dreamgirls" and the first from an Academy Award best picture nominee since "Titanic" reached the summit on Jan. 24, 1998.

thanks, buyers!

someone buy Eric H. Jeffrey Lewis's 12 Crass Songs, lol

The dialogue in this film is repulsive. It's like Kevin Smith on a bad day.

re: that The View clip: I like her look, but it's a real shame about the music.

I like Whoopi's look, too. Didn't know she made music, though.

I'm sure Timbaland or someone will gussy up the next Kimya album to Eric's liking.

ditch Cera and the Moldy Peaches and this would have been really good

Never ditch Cera.

he's been the worst character/actor in both movies I've seen him in (Superbad, this)

That is opposite to the opinion I hold like dogs are the opposite of cats and latinos are the opposite of asians

RONG and RONG xp

wtf Moldy Peaches on The View and Vampire Weekend at #17 on Billboard!

This Barry Louis Polisar song from the soundtrack is tight.

where was the Oscar love for pregnant teen Ricci in The Opposite of Sex?

the movie had too many fags.

Bigot.

I think I hate "Is this the Juno thread? I think it is!" more than any line of dialogue I've heard from the movie.

When it comes to movies where a teenage girl accidentally gets pregnant and decides to have the baby, I thought this was better than Juno all around.

xp: but Juno's dad was a butt-raping white supremacist on Oz! Surely that counts.

Without viewing his profile or even really his comment I feel like Steve Baughman (New School) is probably worse than hypothetical viewing of 24 hour Juno marathon on TBS to celebrate Jane Pratt's birthday or something

New School not exactly known for the caliber of students.

Blech:

New details are emerging about ABC Family's new Juno-esque drama from 7th Heaven creator Brenda Hampton. And by "new details," I mean the following (rather detailed) synopsis that is making its way to Hollywood casting directors as we speak:

"Fifteen-year-old Amy Nicholson, pregnant after having one uncomfortable sexual encounter with the school's Don Juan, Ricky, tries to figure out a way to deal with her dilemma, as all around her peers face the reality of their own sexual (or non-sexual) choices. Unable to face her loving but "nice" middle class parents, Amy confides in her best friends, Lauren and Madison, who are supportive but not too helpful, and struggles to deal with her feelings for Ricky at the same time she's being wooed by the sweet and possibly smitten Ben."

So, pretty much, if 7th Heaven got plastered, had a one-night stand with Juno, and gave birth nine months later, this is what their baby would look like.

too bad it didn't have an abortion [ / autojoke ]

i want to punch michael cera so hard in the face that on impact theres an unberable flash of light and his entire body dissolves into vapor and floats up into the sky.

You say that about everyone.

punch him in the weiner

Why does no character in this movie have a mobile phone?
