Thanks for the heads up about Mininova Freddie!

Didn\'t know about this site...I got Juno downloading now.  I couldnt wait for DVD to see it again.

I guess this was Diablo cody\'s first screen play.  She claims that she wrote it on her laptop in a Starbucks.

I just found it interesting that "fatherhood" seemed to be the only thing that brings legitimacy/depth to any of the main characters.  The only male figure of any depth was her dad - and even he was relatively imperfect (see first marriage).   the "scoundrel" of the movie is "not yet ready to be a father."

Even the boyfriend is basically a blank character (i.e. "pork sword") until he comes to grip with fatherhood.

Maybe I\'m reading too much into it.
Just looking for peace.  Seriously.

No, your right on. It pretty much highlighted male inadequacy in modern day America to a T.  Unfortunately they lacked examination concerning Bateman and Vanessa\'s marriage.  I mean, the chick had to be cool at some point. She DID paint with an Alice and Chains shirt on.

That\'s cause men were built to be fuckin\' hunters!  Sword in hand, ice in veins, dinner on mind, hunters!  Not the kinda pansy ass, powder puff, stupid metrosexual morons that woman have been trying to make us into since the 60\'s!

I wanted to see this movie until I saw the direction these reviews started going in.  Now I just want to go chase down a tiger and tear it apart with my bear hands.  


lol.

cleverly written and quirky, yet accessible movie.


Summed up well right here.  Glad I went last night.

This movie made me go home and work on my screenplay (which had been gathering dust since my screenwriting class ended in May).


Hehe...it made me go home and work on my thesis which is flash fiction, not a screenplay, but still I felt inspired to write.    It was such a good movie that I saw it twice in the theaters and I already got the soundtrack which totally kicks ass.
