Am I the only person on earth who thought Juno sucked?

I mean really. It wasn't well written, well directed, or well acted. The dialog was borderline retarded and contrived drivel. The cast were all second rate TV actors including Ellen Page. The only reason Americans don't know her as a second rate TV actress is because she is a second rate TV actress from Canada. The reason she seemed good in the role is because the rest of the cast sucked worse then she did. Michael Cerra has about as much dimension as cellophane. And slightly less range. The story was beyond unrealistic even by Hollywood standards. It had a few "Cute" lines of dialog but even that seemed to be written by someone sitting in a room going "How can I be 'Quirky' " and get my film into a few indy film fests. Not to mention the whole piece ofshit never would've been mad if the directors father didn't direct "Ghostbusters".

Nope, I've been making fun of my girlfriend for liking it since it came out

Am I the only one who thinks Ghostbusters sucked? =P

 

When I heard a line that went something like: shizzle my dizzle...I turned it off.

 

did juno' i never seen it?..

 

"... sorry, but could you repeat that??

my burger phone is breaking up."

 

Yep. Lame, stupid dialogue. Was written by a thirty something trying to emulate what they thought was the quirky dialogue of a pseudo intelligent high school student. Not to mention the things that were meant to show the main character's 'quirkiness' like the burger phone, the unsmoked pipe, and the unusual terms such as "pork swords". Those contributed greatly to its lameness.

 

I never saw it in theater, but got the DVD cheap.

I think I got it because I like Michael Cera and Jason Bateman.

On a good note, it's only an hour and a half long.

 

your not the only one- -

not my style- - Glad it was cable

 

that movie sucks, it's so contrived and her sarcasm is highly annoying.

 

I don't like that girl something about her made her annoying

 

I enjoyed the movie, I don't see the problem. Is it not cool to like Juno, anymore??

 

Well, I don't go for what's cool. Which is probably why I didn't think it was all that bad.

 

It was really frivolous. If people thought it was pretentious and someone trying too hard to capture a teenage girl being 'quirky', then fair enough

but frankly, I think any teenage girl willing to act like that would come across just as unconvincing as Juno in the film. That actually made it more believable in my eyes, whether it was don on purpose or not.

 

i think every movie post 2000 sucks.

 

So you think I should delete it from my TiVo?

 

oh yeah. id rather watch an egg boil on a sidewalk.

 

I never saw juno, but I think that pretty much all hollywood films suck. There are a few that are tolerable, but I can't think of a really great hollywood movie that's been made in the last 20 years.

If a film has won an award at Cannes, then it's usually at least pretty good. Even many of the films that win awards at festivals suck.

 

Well from the interviews that I've seen with Diablo Cody the writer it sounds like a perfect description. The type who wears fake leopard skin and 50's style cateye glasses who looks like she walked in off the set of an early John Waters movie because they want people to look at them like they're weird. When in all actuality it's because they have a borderline pathological need to be the center of attention.

Peace Out,

Uh, that wouldn't include guys whose profile pic on MySpace is in their underwear? :blush5:
