Still Over It

haterade

Perhaps the only worthwhile criticism of my criticism of Juno was that I hadn’t seen it and therefore could not have an accurate and valid take on it. I disagreed, but, for the sake of argument, I saw it last night (not on my own dime, mind you). The verdict: yup, sucky.

“Honest to blog”? “Phuket, Thailand”? “I am for shizz up the spout”? “It makes his junk smell like pie”? (And I could go on like this!) It’s not that people don’t talk this way, it’s that people who do are fucking annoying, as is sitting through hours of a movie whose main offerings are esoteric pop culture references and odd names for ordinary things (”pee stick” instead of “pregnancy test”). And the deus ex machina of Juno leaving the abortion clinic because it was a possibility the fetus had developed fingernails? It’s just as irritating as it sounds.

To be sure, the movie was not without its moments, but neither was The Heartbreak Kid, and people had aneurysms when I said that “wasn’t awful.” So why were they so quick to herald Juno?

I think it has to do with the film’s quirkiness, something that’s plagued television and movies for the the past several years and something which audiences often confuse for genuineness. It’s a subject Michael Hirschorn delved into at length in The Atlantic:

As an aesthetic principle, quirk is an embrace of the odd against the blandly mainstream. It features mannered ingenuousness, an embrace of small moments, narrative randomness, situationally amusing but not hilarious character juxtapositions (on HBO’s recent indie-cred comedy Flight of the Conchords, the titular folk-rock duo have one fan), and unexplainable but nonetheless charming character traits. Quirk takes not mattering very seriously.

…quirk is everywhere because quirkiness is so easy to achieve: Just be odd … but endearing. It becomes a kind of psychographic marker, like wearing laceless Chuck Taylors or ironic facial hair—a self-satisfied pose that stands for nothing and doesn’t require you to take creative responsibility. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Perhaps this bears repeating: “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” It’s true when discussing quirk and it’s true, I think, when discussing babies. Unfortunately, Juno doesn’t address the complexities and big decisions of teenage pregnancy and instead relies on oddity and an indie soundtrack to propel the protagonist to that perfect moment on the steps, strumming out an idiosyncratic tune with her boyfriend. Sorry, homeskillet, not feeling it.

Who are these, “people”, you speak of? Just the one, because I think it looks like it sucks. I also disliked, Superbad. I know the people love it, but not I. I’d rather drink your nyquil cocktail than watch this.

I still can’t bring myself to watch, Heartbreak Kid. I did watch rock of love and its a really crappy show. But that’s funny because those hussy’s really want to be this guys girlfriend.

Right on! “Juno” may be the worst written film of the year. Every character sounds like a mash-up of Janeane Garofalo and Dennis Miller. Yuck! At one point, that Juno character (a 16 year old girl) makes a reference to Soupy Sales!!!! What 16 year old has ever heard of Soupy Sales???? You know it’s a bad year for movies when Juno wins writing awards!!!!!!

Lattes are bourgois. And depending on the size, that is a lot of milk - skim or no. Idiot.

Also it is easy to remember your insluts: they are gradeschool and unimaginitive. Basically everyone is: fat, poor, sluts and old. Or some variation thereof. Not creative or smart, but then again that is you in all your banal glory.

She is probably losing her hair. I find that women who aren’t thin for their jobs obsess over being super thin because they are ugly in the face. Otherwise they would rather be a 6 than a 00.

Seems to me you are in agreement with Kristen… yet you continue the conversation. So either you agree or you don’t. OR you think Kristen is your friend and on your side. Shes clearly not. Her comment implies she thinks you are as pathetic as she thinks everyone else is.
