Sep 17 2007Juno Trailer Wins Every Award
Despite having only debuted at a couple film festivals this month, the trailer alone for the hip dramedy Juno has already unofficially won every award outside of the Oscars, which will probably go to something by Clint Eastwood. Watch the funny yet heartwarming, poignant yet lighthearted trailer and you'll see why this is already a critical darling, even though most critics haven't seen it. Thank You for Smoking director Jason Reitman has taken elements of every indie hit from the last five years and melded it together into an IFC Frankenstein. It's impossible to watch this two-and-a-half minutes of footage without immediately giving it an award and adding it to your yearly top ten list.

So J. Jonah Jameson's daughter Kitty Pride is giving her unborn child - fathered by George Michael - to Michael and Elektra? Couple the geekgasm with the Garden State-ish delivery and I'll be first in line, baby!

Where is the trailer to the award winning movie? Is it after this terribly precious, hip to be deadpan collection of supporting actors on TV shows no one watches?
The problem with film today is it's either Nicolas Cage running around preening in an Emo Phillips wig or stories from Prozac nation like this, where everyone is dazed and deformed and emotionless, yet always able to have the most clever thing to say at the right time.
Here's a formula Hollywood should have learned by now....
Jason Bateman = Crickets

Looks awesome, and it's got The Moldy Peaches on the soundtrack!

Is this what happens when a bunch of out-of-work actors get together in pretentiousland? They work on unfunny attempts to be so chic cute. Please, save the movie-going public from hogwash like this. What a groaner.

SO the father of Juno is that guy from Oz. That guy will forever be known to me as “that guy from Oz, who was the super bad Nazi-butt raper- OMG THAT GUY FROM OZ IS GOING TO HELL MOST DEF!!" I will definitely watch this movie, but throughout the entire time I will be thinking of when Vernon tattooed Beecher on his ass the first night he was in prison, or another of his dastardly deeds. That’s what happened during Spider Man 3. Ruined a completely good movie for me. Oh yeah, what’s that- that was sarcasm.
Love,
Emily

#7, I know! I was so blown away, I will go see that movie just to know for sure that Moldy Peaches are getting some props!

#1, make that J. Jonah Jameson and CJ Cregg's daughter, who by the way obtains her pregnancy test from Dwight Schrute (who has to win for the best line in the entire thing).
The title graphics made me cringe a little (why why why do we continue to pay homage to Napoleon Dynamite like that), but consider me sold on this one.
