I do remember seeing Clueless when it came out, though, and thinking, "Wow, I don't really talk like that." It's always a subset of teen language. The girls in back of us in the cinema definitely were not loving the dialogue....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133200004292129495.post-29003724624503643122008-03-06T23:35:00.000-08:002008-03-06T23:35:00.000-08:00I saw Juno post-hype, and it was the hype that had...I saw Juno post-hype, and it was the hype that had me expecting more. I enjoyed the film, but I didn't fall in love with it. I might like it a lot more in two years when my expectations are mediocre.<BR/><BR/>I do think the Diablo Cody uproar is undeserved. I don't understand it, mainly. Is Juno that groundbreaking? Has no one ever written snappy, colloquial dialog before?<BR/><BR/>On Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133200004292129495.post-9463356756950193392008-03-06T22:06:00.000-08:002008-03-06T22:06:00.000-08:00peter-i understand and agree with your valid point...peter-<BR/>i understand and agree with your valid point that it is difficult to separate a film and it's hyped-up version of itself.

I am a pop culture junky and relate Diablo Cody similar to an Amy Sherman Palladino, someone who is praised for her smart pop culture references. I dont know if you were a GG fan or not. Basically, think what you want, but in my eyes, Juno was destined to become popular because it has such an amazing ma yanim motekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190893220506603013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133200004292129495.post-36512984581675665032008-03-04T23:11:00.000-08:002008-03-04T23:11:00.000-08:00When i first saw Juno i thought it to be a clever ...When i first saw Juno i thought it to be a clever and fun movie. I'm a huge Allison Janney fan, which is odd for a 22-year-old guy, but it's true. I thought, boy, everyone that Juno knows talks and relates to her Exactly as she NEEDED them to. This is when i realized that, for me, Juno isn't a necessarily realistic film, but instead Juno exists in her own, very specific world. <BR/><BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133200004292129495.post-34302929697807623702008-03-04T19:15:00.000-08:002008-03-04T19:15:00.000-08:00I was the last person on earth to see it, but I th...I was the last person on earth to see it, but I thought it was phenomenal. I agree that some of the dialogue in the beginning was a little forced and unrealistic, but it grew on me. I also thought it was a realistic portrayal of high school--not as over the top dramatic as My So-Called Life, but not sugar-coated, either. I thought the dynamic between Bleeker and Juno was superb--very understated,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
