You're so right, I'm tired of the backlash too. Come on, at least it has us all talking.

I didn't like it the first time around anyway. Too pithy indeed.

THANK YOU. Remember when I talked about the hipster dilemma? How it's only cool if nobody else likes it? Welcome to my thesis project.

It's like they lifted Diablo Cody on their shoulders, carried her to the center of their throng, threw her on the ground and started tearing her to pieces and feeding on her flesh.

Diablo Cody's not a fucking genius, but she penned a cool script, gave it to a good director, and got a great cast. Now that she's getting some limelight, everyone's begrudging her for it. Fucking hipster douchebags.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Juno's dialogue was the farthest thing from inauthentic, overly pithy/quirky, or cutesy. It is real friggin' conversation from any high school. Take it from me. It's the most realistic current teen film I've ever seen.

Maybe it's a Canadian thing.

Nice try, the backlash is much deserved. This thing was nothing more than pseudo-witty hipster masturbation.

My impression about "Juno" is that initially appealed to a certain slice of my generation that has some sort of aversion to liking anything anyone else thinks is "cool." It started with parents (oh, god, The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Bob Dylan? How can you listen to that crap, Mom and Dad?), spread to mainstream pop culture (Leonardo DiCaprio? Brad Pitt? Those guys can't act. People only think so because they're hot), and then to "sell-outs," i.e., anyone who starts out an underdog and is later embraced by a larger audience (Juno, South Park, any indie rock band you've ever heard of). I don't know why these people have such a chip on their shoulders, but they seem to have this idea that if others like the same things they like, it devalues their enjoyment. Which is sad, because we should all be able to just enjoy what we enjoy, regardless of how others feel about it.

yeah Cady. what you said.

Ever consider that maybe after the first 10% raved about it, everyone else who went to see it was dissappointed? Some things simply don't live up to their hype.

I didn't see the film, but I think we can all agree that Diablo's dress is puke-a-tronic. I'm not sure what's she's playing at with the 'Sheena, Jungle-Babe of the Amazon' sheath, but, you know, I don't approve. Good for her, though for the Oscar and shit. Enjoy it baby, that town'll turn.

This movie was really good; not fantastic, but it surprised me a few times, which is rare.

When will hipsters realize that everybody is breathing these days, and give it up for fear of conforming to the masses?

eh, I hated it when it came out, I hate it now.

My god, does that make me a hipster now? Jesus fucking Christ.

I didn't hate it. It was okay. THAT'S my problem; okay shouldn't equal Oscar nomination (I know, Titanic?!). Anyway, you know why I almost hated it? Because she explains to whatever the hell Jason Bateman's character's name is that "Juno" is ZEUS's wife. God damn it, how many people did that get through?? All someone had to do was look it up! Fuck!

Loved it. They talked like my friends did in high school. It totally made me nostalgic. Well, except for the whole pregnancy bit.

I don't really give a crap what the hipsters think, since disliking something because everyone else likes it is actually even more lame than liking something because everyone else likes it.

But I agreed with whoever it was who said that the screenplay was more like Diablo Cody checking off a list of things she knew were cool. And Canada must be smoking crack if people really talk like that up there. I know people from a variety of different regions and no one talks like that! The only people who do are A FEW people in the drama group, and they sound like douchebags...which makes sense, I guess.

That said, I liked it overall...but I would have liked it a LOT less if Michael Cera had not been in it. That boy can do no wrong in my eyes. I would have given it a B- if it weren't for him. Instead, I'll give it a B+...but that still isn't an Oscar nomination.

Jesus. Not everyone liked it. Not all the critic's loved it, and not everyone who went to see it loved it. If the pro-Juno people would take their heads out of their butts for about five seconds, they'd realize that their film is actually about as well liked as, say, Garden State; has it's fans but there is an equal-sized group of "haters". Hell, just take a trip over to IMDb or Pajiba.

And can anyone tell me how you can be accused of writing some of the most obnoxious dialogue heard in an indie film in *years* (quite the accomplishment) and yet still win Best Screenplay?

Does anyone else think that Ellen Page is just going to end up in that category of Quirky Indie Chick who mostly only does insufferable indie films and spends most interviews (when they deign to give them) talking about how quirky they are? (I.E., Anna Paquin, Evan Rachel Wood, Jena Malone, Zooey Deschanel, Chloe Sevigny, etc)
