I want Juno's intellect.
And that guy's music and guitars.

Yeahhh she is whip-smart. And Juno is my age! I wish we were friends.

I am listening to the soundtrack right now.

I bet you didn't even notice your rhyme! I didn't until a day after reading it.

I watched this movie that I'm guessing isn't very known, called "Half Nelson". The only major player in the movie was Ryan Gostling; or however you spell his last name.

He plays a drug-strung teacher and it talks a lot about his issues as an addict, suffering professional, and closely also follows the life of one of his students. She finds him all strung out and decides not to tell on him.

It started out slow, but actually turned out to be a decent watch.

Oh, and if anybody goes to the theater to see "Cloverfield" and I don't get to catch it; please don't ruin it for me. I think it looks pretty intense and i wanna know WTF it is thats fucking things up. haha!

I saw it many moons ago. It's pretty good, it was nominated at last year's Oscars.
Very low budget, but that's a good thing.

'half nelson' is quite an awesome film. it's the movie where i found out that ryan gosling could actually act. i was pleasantly surprised, considering i was a huge fan of breaker high back in the day.

I loved Ryan Gosling as Young Hercules, I wish I could get it on DVD but the only version they have is with that brown-haired kid. Poo.

Funny story, my friend Robin and I wrote to Ryan and whoever played Jason in high school and asked them to be our junior prom dates XD They never wrote back

I loved Breaker High! I thought he was so hot too. Ok...cute. Now, well now he's definitely hot.

And 3:10 to Yuma rocks.

I watched Breaker High, but greatly preferred Radio Active and Animaniacs.

You are saying awesome wrong.

I always say "awe son" in place of awesome.

Oh shit. I rely on you guys to keep me up to date with this trendy stuff.

I saw Sweeney Todd tonight and it was magnificent. Movies are cool.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 1/10/2008, 3:18 am

I loved Juno. Any movie that's character driven with great dialogue mixed with humour is always entertaining.

crustine · Post by **crustine** » 1/10/2008, 8:24 am

i was going to ask you if you had seen it Lando. I so rarely go to movies (now i have a standing date with my wild women of yoga for a monthly movie so i will get out more) but this is a movie i would love to see again and own.

I loved her one liners that just never stopped. There was also something so touching about this movie. It didnt dwell on the inevitable emotional turmoil, that came in stride. Oddly enough this seemed to make it more poignant. When the movie stops briefly for the hard reality conversations they seem to have deeper impact far more than if the movie had wallowed in the melodramatic.

I'll try and review a movie with a little less sarcasm this time as to not offend those who cannot pick-up on it.

Juno was without a doubt the best movie I have seen since 'Last Night' (This point is valid seeing as how I only saw 'Last Night' last night and havn't watched any movies since.)

I don't know if it's Canadian or not but the Juno soundtrack should win a Juno for Best Soundtrack (If the Juno's have such a category)

You gotta love the sass'ing off to the stepmom and everyone else for that matter.

Everyone but Juno seemed familiar so I'm gonna have to IMDB here in a few. Obviously I knew Jason Bateman and Micheal Cerna from Arrested Develpoment fame. Then the ifer part of Benifer. But Junos stepmom and dad seemed familiar.

Some more lines from the dad wouldn't have hurt, he was halarious as well.

More music jamming between Bateman and Juno would had been cool too but that whole thing was a bit on the 'Umm your starting to weird me out here' side.

But the "Thundercats GO!!" Line had me snarf'ing on the floor for a good few minutes.

So go hop in your Chevy Privera and see Juno today!!
