You ever see a trailer and thank the Gods for making yet another movie especially for you? I can't wait to see Juno.
I wanna see JUNO. I wanna see JUNO.

I cannot wait for my sister to come home from college so we can see Juno. Ever since I saw the preview for the first time I've been sitting on my hands.
I don't even know what I mean by that because I am so excited from thinking about Juno.

My beautiful, wonderful wife who has the greatest legs in the world promised to wear a short skirt for me if I would "Please take her to see the movie about the pregnant teen tryib to give up her kid... " If it wasn't for girls freaken legs, I'd be such a man it would make John Wayne crawl out of his grave and salute... Instead I'l be seeing the movie while oogling my wifes legs all night... God this sucks....

Melanie, I watched the preview on imdb - Juno, and then click on trailer.
It looks fantastic. I definitely would enjoy it.
I'll have to see it too

Yes, definitely on my must-see list.
Saw where Paste magazine just named it their movie of the year.

A funny thing I just saw about Juno.
I went to a review site (what is it with my obsession with film reviews?) and saw that the critics adored Juno, but the users found it to be...lacking.
Doesn't matter what it is -- music, film, books -- if you look at critical reviews and real-people reviews they're often at odds. Re: Juno, I saw the words "mediocre," "crap," "piece of crap," and the like. That often seems to be the case. Seems as if critics love a movie, real folks often don't -- and not only do they not like it, they usually are so far to the other end of the extreme that it's almost like they're striving to tear the movie apart.
(This works in reverse, too, especially with film. There are movies that regular moviegoers love and that critics trash. But it seems to happen more often on the other end of the spectrum, where you get these award-winning, critically-praised films that your average Joe hates with a bloodthirsty, inexplicable passion.)
Why is this, do you think?
Okay, way off topic now. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Diablo Cody (the screenwriter) is a fantastic writer, and I can't wait to see this either. I think some big-wig found her blog online (probably b/c of the name of it!) and liked her writing. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I think that's how she sold her screenplay. She also wrote a book about being a stripper for a year. Very interesting read. Wiki.
LOL. Maybe it will eventually? It's getting a lot of TV time right now in my area...haven't checked the movie listings yet, but I'm sure it's gonna play here. If not, I'll join you in the tantrum. (Either that or hop a plane.)

It's in limited release right now and had a $60,000 per screen average. Not bad for a "little film" and it's getting a lot of Oscar buzz.
This film looks like its right up my alley. One of those story lines I wish I'd thought up myself.
What other movie has that girl been in? I recognize her but can't think from where.
ETA: Nevermind. Found it.

No. Just very intuitive to the pulse of this maddening and crazy globe. But...hmmm? Maybe a bit powerful and mighty too? Perhaps.
