Agreed, this looks like a 12-year old Twilight fan saw Teeth, missed the point, and was hired to rewrite it.
Speaking of Teeth, here's a fun party trick: Put the movie on with a group and watch everyone laugh/squeal, etc. If anyone arrives late, just before they walk in rewind to the makeout scene at the lake, then tell them the move is called Young Love.
1) Juno hate is always justified because the movie sucked. Gigantically.
2) Megan Fox ripping sounds like jealousy...which is understandable given the gross genetic inequality most of us are forced to live under.
3) There is no such thing as alt culture except in the mind of altsters. It's just generational marketing targeted toward ones' inflated sense of individualism - even if your name's Diablo and you once pole-danced.
'You're not your fuckin' khakis'.
So wake me up if Cody makes something better than Fight Club. Until then I'm surfing for MF web shots.
@atlasspanked: I'm not on the Megan Fox hate bandwagon but, surely you know that her looks are anything but genetic. Plastic surgery took care of her nose and breasts while frequent Restalyne visits keep the lips plump.
I do agree with your third point though, so you got that going for you...which is nice.
@bess marvin, girl detective: Or, maybe, she's just really fucking hot. How do you know she's had her nose and boobs done? And the lips thing? 23 year olds don't need to get their lips done.
That was highly disappointing for a red band trailer. What's the point of red banding it if you're not going to, you know, *use* that designation to its fullest?
It's kind of like asking for your film to get an X rating because it's got a shot of a dong in it.
T-RO, I actually like some of Cody's snappy writing and the performances in Juno were quite good, but the fact that they cuted up a teen pregnancy and then the teen spent all of 2 minutes "deciding" what she would do with the fertilized egg, just smacked of anti-choice nonsense to me.
@DannyNoonan: I love when commenters go right to accusing anyone of not liking something/someone as being jealous. That's like the asshole guy at a party that thinks all the women who won't go home with him are lesbians.
@Banjo-Sea Kitten: But if the character had had an abortion, the movie would have been 15 minutes long. The character isn't you, or your pals. It's fiction. Get over it.
@Lulupasternak: I'm not over it. Yeah, I'm jaded. It's the zeitgeist now where it would be very hard to make a movie like this about abortion. It's not the movie per se. It's the creeping anti-choiceism that has swallowed this country whole. And a grudging kudos to those church ladies (and men). They have done a swell job of demonizing this, a most personal choice. And now, along comes dear Juno and presto: they are cool, hip and ironic.
2. I'm starting to love Megan Fox. She's gorgeous, irreverant and she dissed on Michael Bay!
3. Let's hope the title reference is from the awesome Hole record, and not some backwater, strummy indie band of the kind that made up the irritating Juno soundtrack.
@power_stroke: I can hang with Jolie and her global activism. I like that she has adopted. What's unfortunate are her movies and the fact that in interviews she and Brad continue to say that they want more natural babies. Stop, already.

I liked Juno when it was an animated series on MTV called Daria.
Or when it was known as a standup comedian named Janeane Garafalo.

And then the movie goes on for another hour and a half.
@DahlELama: I might also still have a thing for Adam Brody, but I'm not admitted anything.
