The last three months of 07 saw a slew of great movies come out in America to make up for the horrid first three months of awful films. a little late i know but oscars (as lame as they are) are still coming up, so:
1. There Will be Blood 2. Eastern Promises 3. The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 4. No Country For Old Men 5. for way tie:Knocked Up, Superbad, Juno (i hate the music references, but its so smart and quirky and well acted i had to let them slide), and The Dejareeling Limited. I couldnt help but notice that the best films this year were ultra masculine bloody violent ones, like my top 4, or quirky/gross adolescene comedies. That has to say something about the times we live in, no? |

Resident Evil: Extinction, sure it sucked, but Milla Jovovich was in it so I watched it...twice.

Why did you hate the musical references in Juno?

because they were just trying so hard to be cool. o melvins, so rad, o sonic youth, were so cool, raw power my fave alblum, everyone should like me. sure i love those bands, but nothing about these references seemed authentic, just a cheap ploy to get fans out of the underground music fans and im not buying that bullshit.

I think you are looking too deep into it. He was a musician and that is where they primarily connected. What music would you rather they have referenced? What music could they mention without either being pretentious or shallow, in your opinion?

I thought Darjeeling Limited was better than Juno and Juno was better than Superbad and Superbad was better than Knocked Up. |

if they werent going for a cool factor, what could they have possibly been going for? the movie is entertaining, but jason bateman as a rocking perverted middle aged dude who of all the amazing sonic youth songs chose "superstar" as his favorite, just competley non-believable. just the fact they chose a song like that from a band like the youth proves they know nothing about that band or underground music, but used it as a ploy to grab attention hip to good music. if you see otherwise thats your opinion but thats no reason to get all uptight and tell me to, "log off and never return". god forbid we share opinions on a fucking message board. |

earth to batreleaser: did you get that it's just a fucking movie character whose choice of seduction sountrack you're arguing about? the whole point of this is that he's stuck in the early 90's. that is all. he's not supposed to be the pope of all things musical. why are you trying to read some esoteric meaning into this? ![]() |

The choice of the song proves nothing more beside the fact that the character in the movie likes it, who knows, maybe it's just the song he and his wife used to dance to..saying "favorite" is waaaaay different from saying "it's their best one". If they wanted to have a cool-hip factor kimya dawson isn't the best choice for the rest of the soundtrack. I think you're giving too much weight to that bit, that's all. You can stay logged on ![]()

ah ok. the movie was, shall we say, "cute". juno's lines were very funny. ellen page's face was super-lovely. allison janney is awesome, she should have have more screen time. the dude who played the dad was great, whats his name. i can't stand that chick with the horseface-- the elektra chick. still, the movie didn't blow my mind or anything. some parts were confusing, like, was she trying to hit on the guy or what? and then she becomes sanctimonious? it's like they cut something out. but i had a fun time... |
