I had this amazing, incredible, world-changing brainstorm: do a year-end Top 10 list.
But my enthusiasm for it lasted about 10 seconds, give or take.
I don’t have a Top 10 list, as it turns out. I don’t even have a Top 5 list. What I have is a movie I really liked.
So, if you have $10 that simply, without question, must be spent right now on a movie, dig it out for
Juno.
Nice title, eh?. I mean, hell, JUNO.
It won’t make your teeth any whiter. It won’t help you loose the love handles. It won’t set you on a path to enlightenment. But it will make you happy, and that’s all that truly matters, right?
I saw it last month with Lindsay (Doctress. of Awesomology) and my bud Chris (gamer extraordinaire). Our consensus: it’s better than good. In gaming terms, it’s good +1, with additional +1s for Ellen Page, Michael Cera and the script by Diablo Cody. That’s a good +4, so it should survive most attacks.
Here’s your new To Do list: Catch the
official site. Dig the vids. Note Diablo Cody's hotness. Check out
her blog. And consider her advice: “I would rather fail at doing something totally off the wall, than succeed by doing something totally pedestrian.”
