Galaxy is only $8 after 5

1/17/2008 3:56:20 PM

good to know... thanks.

1/17/2008 4:05:13 PM

and ?6? with student prices

1/17/2008 4:12:46 PM

yes. good reminder. I just saw the $9.25 ticket price and assumed he was talking about adult tickets. But lets never forget $6 student tickets all day at Galaxy.

1/17/2008 4:24:05 PM

It was pretty good... i'd give it a 70%. It really wasn't lacking much, but it didn't impress me. It really doesn't deserve the 93% on RottenTomatoes

1/17/2008 6:58:08 PM

im going to see it tonight along with cloverfield

1/17/2008 8:13:52 PM

both movies were kind of meh. I liked this movie better than Cloverfield but still, the dialogue in this movie was VERY annoying. There was no need for ALL of those sayings and quips to be in every one of her freaking sentences.

The TOPIC of their discussion of music didnt bother me, however it was carried out in a way that (whether true or not) made it seem like they had NO idea what they were talking about which was almost painful to watch.

soundtrack was ok, but not something id be picking up anytime soon.

story was actually pretty good, there were just things in the movie that annoyed me that overshadowed it.

i thought i would really enjoy it a lot more than I did. 6.5/10

I think you hit the nail on the head there. I didn't really think about it that way until reading that, which would explain why it felt "hey I'm hip, check out what I listen to and watch." In other movies mentioning music is pulled off with better execution, Ghost World comes to mind for comparison.

1/18/2008 9:59:31 AM

Or High Fidelity.

1/18/2008 10:24:21 AM

^,^^ yea exactly

1/18/2008 10:49:31 AM

How did this movie get nominated for an Oscar? I mean its funny and all.

1/22/2008 5:48:41 PM

It's the token quirky comedy in a year loaded with fucking awesome death-filled dramas.

1/23/2008 1:26:07 PM

This movie was awesome.

Best comedy of 2007.

Seems like the type of movie you would watch in Dr. Orgeron's or Wallis's class.

1/27/2008 11:16:43 PM

man i dono, i need to watch this movie again i suppose(the gf wants to see it so that works out well) but I was just really disappointed the first time through. as ive said before, I think it was the high expectations I had going for it with the 93% on RT, some good reviews here and several actors/actresses in the film that I enjoy.

I really thought that I was just going to love the everliving quirky heck out of this movie and ended up not really liking it.

1/28/2008 12:07:05 AM

^^ I really hope not.

1/28/2008 8:36:51 AM

I loved this movie. One of the best I've seen in a long time.

1/28/2008 8:39:15 AM

I really enjoyed it, but Best Picture nom... ehhh, I'm not seeing it.

Top Ten reasons why Juno sucks ass

10. #117 out of 250 on IMDB.com top 250 of all time?
Further proof that no one knows what the fuck. Are you kidding me? #117 of all time?

9. The inevitable shit storm that will erupt when popular culture embraces this movie
Just as with Napoleon Dynamite, prepare to see a horde of 13 year old girls using phrases from this movie (see #6) and purchasing new music (see #5). Also, Hot Topic is now going to carry t-shirts with Michael Cera on it that says "Wizard!!"

8. Incessant band name dropping
Yes I've heard of Sonic Youth. Have you heard of "I'm going to punch you in the fucking baby if you don't stop this stupid shit?"

7. 16-year-olds who talk like they're 25
You fail at realism. And Ellen Page needs less lines. Yes, you are very annoying when you talk.

6. Let's use cool words!
Wizard! Honest to blog! How about SHUT THE FUCK UP you indie hispter shitstain.

5. Let's use cool retro things!
Omigoh! A hamburger phone!? How terribly retro and cute! Did you get it from a thrift store? Wizard! Tic-tacs!? Wow? That's so 1993! Honest to blog it is! And Hotpockets too? Omigoh!

4. Abortion is for losers!
Great idea. Let's make a movie that appeals to young girls, and let's also tell them that it's a better idea to give birth instead of getting an abortion or taking the morning after pill. Also, let's not mention using condoms either or birth control. Also, see #3 and #2. Oh, and why did you leave the Abortion Clinic again, Juno? Because the receptionist was annoying? Are you fucking kidding me?

3. Adoption is easy... and fun!
I'm sure that painting giving up your child for adoption as an easy and fun process where you pick something out of the newspaper is a good message to pass onto 16 year olds. Because every mother who gives up their child for adoption is oh so willing to do so and has no feelings towards the child whatsoever.

2. Birth is easy... and fun!
Screw the pain, labia-tearing, and blood of childbirth, let's make it a 10 second slow motion scene set to sappy music.

1. Most Misandric movie of the year!
300 had a better treatment of the opposite sex than Juno. Every male character in this movie is either a bumbling idiot or a complete pussy. The father fails at raising his daughter, plus he doesn't know how to communicate with her. The boyfriend is a bumbling nerd who is less masculine than Juno herself. The adopting father fails at raising kids and pussies out because he can't man up.

1/28/2008 11:14:13 AM

^

Elitist much?




I really liked the movie. I thought Juno came off as extremely intelligent, yet young at the same time.

I liked the soundtrack, and I didn't have a problem with the band name dropping. It was the vessel for the two of them to become "friends".

You're on an awefully high fucking horse if you think this movie was dogshit.

1/28/2008 11:21:16 AM

she reminded me of 99% of 16 year old girls who came into the Hot Topic I worked at in HS.

1/28/2008 11:31:26 AM

^^^I disagree with pretty much all those points. Get your head out of your ass.

1/28/2008 6:48:52 PM

Get off your knees, you're blowing the film.

i thought this movie was pretty good. the inventing of slang really bothered me. where was this supposed to take place, the midwest? i don't buy it. and there was a group of like 16 year old girls behind me that repeated every stupid line.

so yeah, i can't see it getting best picture ever.

Minnesota, dontchyaknow

I liked it, but like most everyone else I thought they went way overboard with the dialogue at times.

1/28/2008 8:37:51 PM

I thought it was an excellent movie. Needed a little more Michael Cera and maybe a little less mushiness. BUt it definitely pulled atll emotions, entertained and made me laugh.

1/29/2008 8:25:52 AM

I liked it, I must not be indie enough

2/3/2008 1:45:55 AM

?

if anything i thought the 'indie' kids would eat this up

nah, if anything they're too "above" the references, i know i was

2/3/2008 2:40:19 AM

i like how nc86 came in here and kept trying to troll

someone fucking ban the guy already

2/3/2008 2:55:03 AM

I would if I could.

2/3/2008 4:19:14 AM

diablo cody could very easily win an oscar for her first screenplay

2/3/2008 6:57:01 PM

i've seen this twice now and it was actually better the second time. i love this movie.

2/3/2008 8:08:19 PM

i totally didnt know it was about teen pregnancy when i went to see it. probably wouldnt have watched it had i known.

2/3/2008 10:01:56 PM

srsly, did you miss the fucking poster?

2/3/2008 10:06:42 PM

I agree with God.

although I don't think it was clearly "anti-male," the movie def gave a completely unrealistic presentation of contraceptive use (or lack of)... I know it's "just a movie" but it kind of scares me how some young girls out there might be like "oh, pregnancy is kind of cool."

i heard a discussion on NPR about movies like Juno and Knocked Up as implicitly pro-life...

and NO i'm not saying contraceptives are the same thing as abortion, so calm down (in advance)
i just think that it's dangerous to make an issue such as this seem simple and even worse- funny and hip.

Considering both movies mentioned abortion as a viable choice, I don't really see that to be the case. At least if you take pro-life to mean anti-choice. It's more "choose-life" if anything.

2/4/2008 11:16:15 AM

there would be no movie if she got an abortion... same for knocked up...

2/4/2008 11:43:19 AM

i still want to see this reaaaalllly bad

2/4/2008 12:23:40 PM

^^ do it.

I'd like to join the list of people who really enjoyed it. I knew what it was going to be about, but I hadn't really heard anything about it other than it was a decent flick.

I had next-to-no expectations, having no idea what it was going to be like, and I came away very pleased.

2/4/2008 1:34:30 PM

thats always the best way to see a movie imo. unfortunately it doesnt happen that often

2/4/2008 1:38:52 PM

Very, very true.

On the other hand, I saw Cloverfield and Transformers with the highest possible expectations I could possibly have, and I came away incredibly pleased as well.

2/4/2008 1:40:17 PM

It had some redeeming parts, but it wasn't as stellar as it'd been made out to be.

7/10
