oh brendon, i am a super fan of you.

i made a pregnancy film a year ago, and even that was better than juno, and i didn’t even know how to use final cut pro yet.

Although, i praise Juno for sponsoring the “email/blog/link” tools on New York Times articles. I don’t know what my life would be like without.
Which makes me think your analysis would also benefit from analyzing who benefits from Juno’s profits? This “little movie that could” smacks of a complete farce, and i bet some pockets go deep. The emperor has no clothes!

ps. i can say one positive thing: Cera has gotten super hot - he is a reverse Savage.

“but in a year with direly important, politically and sociologically solvent films like There Will Be Blood and I’m Not There”
Wow, I didn’t realize when I saw those films that they were direly important. Idiotic me, I thought that they were, like, movies. Y’know, entertainment? And, shit, they’re solvent, too? Man, I wish I had hip people like you around to tell me what films are dire AND solvent and what films are pieces of shit. Yeah, dude, a chick playing Bob Dylan blew my fucking mind out of my urethra, too! Crazy!! And dire!! I need to get my head out of my poop-chute so that I don’t make mistakes such as liking movies that hip, intellectual, self-righteous, opinionated Web-loggers (such as yourself) deem (somewhat callously, but you are forgiven) “pieces of shit”.
Oh, and good word choice on “chortle-worthy”. Thank God for that ole online thesaurus, eh, chieftain?
And Christinn, I bet yr film was waaaay better than Juno (according to your folks). You should see if you can get it released sometime. In the theaters. On a buncha screens. Theater screens. So a lot of people can, y’know, see it. But, I s’pose it’s probably too good for us runny-nosed, shitty-pantsed masses that huddle into those multiplexes like so many vultures pecking the eyeballs out of the corpse of “dire solvency”.
