The Beautiful Kind

I should have posted this two weeks ago, but it’s never too late to say that the movie Juno was too cute for me - an obnoxious drop in the teen flick bucket.

Screenwriter Diablo Cody (a super hot ex-stripper and blogger) says, “I like the secret vernaculars that pop up in society…” and let me finish her sentence - “and then I want to squeeze them all into a movie and make them screamingly obvious and overused.” HERE, have a sample and watch this Juno’s Lingo clip. Honest to blog.

Yep, the makers of Juno’s philosophy is “if something is good, overuse it.” Another example is the soundtrack. It’s so obvious the people who picked the songs for the movie were listening to Kimya Dawson tracks and thought, “Oh, that one is good, let’s use that one. Wait no, THAT one is good, we have to use that one. Ooh ooh another good one! Oh fashizzle brody, let’s use every single fucking adorable song she’s ever sung, her innocent style will go so wicked bitchin’ with the innocent and cute way a teen girl gets knocked up and does the right thing.”

Nothing against Ellen Page and Michael Cera, they were cute as bugs. And I loved the fashion - all those vintage t-shirts and weird colors. And the socks she wore during the birthing scene? She borrowed them from me.

Say, have you ever noticed why Michael Cera looks perpetually surprised? It’s because he only has half eyebrows. He looks like a Peanuts character.

Speaking of, you MUST watch this clip of him being interviewed by my secret lover Zach Galifianakis. God I love that beard.
