I want to see Juno but I feel sort of uncomfortable because it's so blatantly targeted towards my demographic.



Michael Cera in a sweatband! Moldy Peaches in the preview! Retro doom decor for a girl too young for Thundercats nostalgia, let alone Thundercats!

It also has what I dislike about Gilmore Girls, which is, quirky young women talking in a hyper-stylized, smart way. Is this a jealousy thing? No. Maybe. I mean, no.

jamie: why would a teenage girl keep a baby?
me: because "she can see its fingernails"
that's what the trailer says
jamie: so she's gonna keep it and give it away?
come on
abortion
so awesome
like Knocked Up I kind of understood
as she was like in her 20s
me: i didn't like knocked up
jamie: but a snappy smart teenage girl?
come on!

But despite all these things that make me skeptical, I still really want to see it.

If you must see a movie starring my old schoolmate Olivia, why not make it this one?
