I finally got to watch JUNO after the mishap with the faulty DVD player in Matuod. I'm loving the movie to bits. Diablo Cody is a genius, I can't wait to see more of her writing on the big screen. I've been limiting myself to Blockbuster movies as of late (Cloverfield was sick, in a good way, 27 Dresses was cute and although I liked it, I expected more from Bucket List) mostly because I really don't have the energy at the moment to immerse myself in a film as I like to do, so Juno was like watching Maria Callas perform in a Venetian opera house after watching Britney Spears in a strip club.

Not since "Saved" have I seen an actual FILM for the thinking teenager (no, I am not calling myself a teenager.) And Juno was not just a movie, it was a FILM. Anything that gets made with less than 10 million dollars and is THAT good deserves to be called a film. I learned that from watching Entourage.

The chemistry between Ellen Page and Jason Bateman was electric. I was almost rooting for them to get together. Yes, I am sick. And I have always loved Allison Janney since seeing her in The Ice Storm (another excellent film, a bit on the heavy side though). I have to say though, I'm not really fond of Michael Cena, except when watching him alongside Bateman in Arrested Development. I always thought that he played the same character in everything he did, but I'm really loving the subtlety he brings to the film.

The soundtrack. Always an important thing for me. Sometimes I can love a movie, knowing that deep down I really hate it, but the soundtrack is just good. Juno's soundtrack is phenomenal. It's subtle, just like everything else about the film. It's just there in the background, you don't even realize that you're listening to it til the song stops and you start to miss it. "All The Young Dudes" is my favorite song of the moment. 

I can't stop gushing about this film. The art used in it was fabulous too. I especially like the art on the walls in Juno's room and the OBB. It left me with a funny nostalgic feeling. I don't know about the rest of you, but I felt like I've seen the movie before. It's like a combination of "Almost Famous" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Weeds". Strange. But wonderful.

Definitely a must see. Over and over again.

Lolo Pari...we all know you're resting in peace. That's a given. Is there music in heaven? Are they playing your songs?

We miss you. We don't know what to do without you. But we'll keep going.



This was taken the last time we saw you smiling. I'll always remember you like this.
