Hi all. Juno sucks. If you want a good example of what the nice lady underneath this post says, see jackie brown or sleepaway camp. Sleepaway camp is a wonderful example of female empowerment kicking butt. It's like Munich for the weird girl. Juno would have worked alot better if Alison Janney were the focus but all the teenagers would have stayed from it. Lots of good parts in Juno but they're wasted. Lots of good OBSERVATIONS in Juno...and they're wasted.
Forget juno. Anyone could have written it. Watch how Diablo Cody wants more then anything to make the "dream big!" point--
You don't even know me, Bren.
I know enough.
(then a pause)
We don't even have a dog.
Yeah that's right we don't...
See what happened here? Diablo Cody wanted to get that dream big joke so bad but there is NO transition. I'll come up with more. There are thousands. Like the fact that everyone's so impressed by J.K. Simmons simply because he's playing someone who's not a total psychopath. But do see Juno for one reason only...
Jennifer Garner.
This is an amazing, amazing AMAZING actress. She should win a Golden Globe every single year from now on for that performance in Juno. If Ledger can get one dead, she can get one for next year for being alive but doing nothing.

In one day a life can change
and only you can decide if it is for the better
and although sometimes it might seem strange
you relize its up to you to make it better
When you hold that little bundle of joy
you must Forget that rotten boy
that left You when You needed him most
to suck the Heart out of his next host
SO take this wonderful gift you recieved
and teach her not to be decieved
for you love her no matter what
so Shut Shut Shut
the door to her heart must go until your ready
to let her go
THis time may be hard for family and friends
but the wounds in your heart will surely mend
and while your time being young seemed so brief
dont lengthen time now with all the grief
She says goodbye and so do You
and both of you
know that you share a love thats true
....................
Never give up you will always make it might be hard but the child that loves you is always worth keeping.

Perhaps the amazing underlying subtext of Juno is that if society treated women better and had more respect for their tastes they'd be given better things then what's on the screen to put on a pedestule. Juno has a chair placed throughout in order to make it seem artsy and deep. They never show Juno and her friend being sold Life Saver dots and being told they're acid, which means we also don't get to see how warped and tripped out they pretend they are as a result. Juno is like a school day during a blizzard. A deflated football everyone tries to push over the goalline.
Okay homeskillet and homeskilletettes. Before you write a movie-mov, you have to follow ten major steps.
1. Give yourself a year to write it...but don't get started until 364 days in. The dialogue will flow more naturally on the fly with eight hours and a hundred pages to go.
2. Come up with a super genius funny gimmick like I did in Juno with the barfing in Bren's urn. I was so proud of that. So so proud of it. DIDN'T YOU THINK IT WAS CLEVER?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
3. I don't like to paint my characters in a corner just to have to figure out ways to get them out. I prefer to just cut to the ending. I mean who's gonna tell?
4. Now Asian characters can be tricky. Originally I was going to play Su-Chin like a Vietnamese hooker. I was met with resistence. That's gonna happen in what I call "the biz". BUT I DID get to keep her broken English. All babies want to get borned!
