Irony, You Runny, We All Runny

Does anyone else find anything odd about Juno star Ellen Page’s explanation of her favorite nerd folk band The Moldy Peaches? (”It’s hinging on novelty, but at the core of it, it is so beautiful and it is so honest.”) Hey, that sounds like irony to us!

But there’s no way everyone’s favorite “indie” actress (sponsored by Fox) is admitting that she loves the quirky irony of her quirky hit film’s backing band. That would be too transparent and, well, unironic.

What’ll these hipsters think of next?!?!?!

No. 5 natmusk says:

From what I read Ellen Page picked a lot of the bands that provided background music for Juno

I’m down with the opinion on Pajiba….I don’t understand this crazy backlash. It’s not a dramatic movie but it’s good for what it was and Ellen Page is pretty fucking cool in every interview I’ve seen of her

No. 7 Be Adequite says:

Natmuck Pajiba is the $hit. Although I do not understand all the hype about Juno, I was seriously disturbed by the ending (much like real life I guess??) As far as quirky movies go, nothing will ever beat Napoleon Dyna, for me at least. High school at its finest.

No. 8 Addicted to Addiction says:

She is definitely a cool chick. At least Juno, as opposed to Napolean, has real life situations and realistic characters. That’s why I loved it, it’s relatable. And if she likes these bands, awesome, nothing ironic about it.

AA were you Summer Whitley in high school???

Should I know who that is?

No. 11 Be Adequite says:

Nope guess not…Juno was overrated and will not be remembered even a year from now. There, I said it.
Altough I thought Jason Bateman was pretty good in it. Reminded me of an ex boyfriend

I would equate it to a Garden State level. Still remembered, although not talked about every day.

No. 14 cooter doesnt give a shit says:

Ok. I’ve watched the video now. She seems really sweet.

But I still want to smack her.

No. 15 Addicted to Addiction says:

I wish I knew who that was… so I could as least play into the joke.

No. 16 Lisa(#1) says:

Ugh. I watched part of the interview and I would say the offending party is Barb(a)ra Walters. Bleeech, condescend much? I didn’t make it to the end, but I am hoping Bab’s head explodes.

Ohh… Summer WHEATLEY. Yes, yes I was. A true, true bitch.

A2A: just watch Napoleon Dynamite.

No. 19 Be Adequite says:

I can’t stand Barbara Walters or her interviews, Page being questioned by Walters just makes it all worse.

I must admit, I haven’t seen Garden State. Love the Portman but Braff creeps me out, so I’ve never watched it. I will someday!

No. 20 janice says:

I don’t understand all the irrational hate toward this girl. She seems really nice, and like she’s not getting sucked into the artificiality of Hollywood. Maybe a little into the artificiality of the indie-hipster scene, but that’s way more interesting anyway.

No. 21 SnackySmores says:

Too bad they cut out the part where she talks about how honest and beautiful Heidi Montag’s music is.

But I can’t hate her, it’d be like hating a puppy or something.

Naw, I think the real villain is Diablo Cody for putting all those awful words in this poor girl’s mouth. Bleck.

Fuck, Diablo Twat is the next Scientology and this chick is her Katie Holmes. Maybe someone should smack her… real hard.

No. 25 IhateCanada says:

The reason we hate her is because she is from Nova Scotia, poor Canadian! She is boring, doesn’t fit into Hollywood, and brings no excitement to her interviews. Ship her ass back to Canada, NOW!!!! I’d rather watch an interview with Miley Cyrus….if that’s any indication…LOL

Above, we see an example of a mentally flaccid ignoramus, grazing on its habitual diet of bigotry and idiocy. Don’t provoke it, they are known to attack when they feel threatened.

No. 27 Betty Brillz says:

The movie is so unbelievably overrated. Her oscar nomination was such a joke. She seems nice enough, but the movie was not worth all the hype and accolades.

I’m capable of a tremendous amount of cynicism, but I can not bring myself to be cynical enough to dislike this girl.

No. 30 bedbugsandballyhoo says:

Do you now what the Moldy Peaches remind me of? They remind me of the the first wedding, of “Four Weddings And A Funeral,” when those 2 hippies (I totally love hippies, by the way, they sang at my wedding, but a completely different song) sing “I Can’t Smile Without You.” … “I feel glad when you’re glad…I feel glad”… “I feel sad when you’re sad I feel sad”… they are so unoriginal. And redundant.
