Juno: The feel-good movie for people who would like to think that they are above liking feel-good movies.

And, that soundtrack? God-awful. If I ever have to listen to the Moldy Peaches again, my metaphorical soul might just curl up and die.

I felt sorry for Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner every time they struggled to make their soulless, barren, despicable/shrewish characters relatable or likable.

Re the Asian girl outside the clinic: Was it just me, or was it slightly racist? She could barely speak English. The whole scene made me sad.

How could a girl as intelligent as Juno not know the origin of her own name? Juno was Jupiter's wife, not Zeus' wife. You're looking for the Roman version, not the Greek version, Diablo Cody.

15 minutes into the film, and I was already sick of the running gag of the boys in short running shorts.

Why are all the characters charictures? They're certainly all very quirky and odd, but Cody and Reitman seem to mistake quirkiness for character development. NOT EQUAL.

My thoughts after watching 'Southland Tales':


God, I will never get Elbow's 'Forget Myself' out of my head.

Wait, Amy Poehler is in this?

Wait, Amy Poehler died already?

It's cute that Kelly thinks he's David Lynch.

Wallace Shawn: now doing the Sicilian on crack.

I can't believe they gave Justin Timberlake a musical number that he didn't dance OR sing in.

Present self. Future self. What?

What the hell just happened? (A question I asked myself frequently while I was watching Southland Tales)

I cannot take anyone from 'American Pie' seriously as a "Savior."

I'm a pimp, and pimps don't commit suicide.


I actually sort of liked most of it. And clocking in at nearly 2 1/2 hours, that's quite nearly a feat. It's a lot of sound and noise signifying nothing, but it's oddly entertaining in a bizarre, utterly meaningless way. It's completely ridiculous, but I forgive it, on the basis of being so very, very unintentionally hilarious. Folks, it's so bad that it's good.
