Juno

So I saw Juno and I loved it. That doesn't mean I think all of you that read my blog will like it but I did. It was hilarious and very very Sad. I laughed and I cried, a LOT. I'm not a crier, I hate crying and I particularly hate crying in movies but in Juno it was worth it. By far, my favorite movie of the year, possibly the decade.
And I agree with the rest of America that the soundtrack is well worth owning. (It's the number one album on iTunes right now) It's great stuff, Kimya Dawson with the Moldy Peaches, Belle & Sebastian, Buddy Holly, The Velvet Underground. It's the mix CD the most lovely, sensitive boy would have made you in high school had he existed. Too bad he didn't exist. I would have liked to have this CD years ago.

I liked Juno alright, not as much as Knocked Up. But if you liked Juno you should check out the other movie by the same guy "Thank You For Smoking". It's very awesome.

I had a sensitive boy make me those kind of cd's in high school... so one existed-

I liked Juno WAY better than knocked up and Thank you for smoking, those two were much more crude/vulgar than JUNO, although fun.

Steve and I watched Juno on Friday and have been quoting it to each other all weekend... "He's the cheese to my macaroni..."

I've been dying to see this! Glad to hear you liked it.

Hmm, Mom, I think you would like it but I'm not sure.

Interesting fact, Kathryn Heigl from Knocked Up was raised LDS, as was Aaron Eckhart from Thank You for Smoking (He appears in that seminary video about Godly Sorrow as the fiance). (Yes, I know I probably just called him a girl, but I don't know the difference, and don't care to look it up just now...)

I loved that movie. But, I disagree that it was sad. I thought that the ending was great and very optimistic. Granted, I did cry- but not because it was sad.

Haha, Landon cried at the movies.
