No release date yet but this looks very, very promising. I would expect the listed "2011" to actually get bumped to 2012 at this point.

Patton Oswalt and J.K. Simmons? Yes, please.

Solid Snake

I'm there.

Groucho

Diablo Cody and Patton Oswalt? Expect snark overload!

Aside from the first 10 minutes, I rather liked Juno. I've also liked all of Reitman's movies and love me some Charlize Theron and like Oswalt.

I'm there.

PopcornTreeCt

Love the poster. Makes me think of a Criterion cover.

I love Reitman so I'll be there.

I'm still in. Looks good.

I never saw "Jennifer's Body" and I only watched "Juno" once in the theater but I liked it a lot.

Diablo Cody is one of these writers who writes extremely stylized and unrealistic dialogue where most/all of her characters are written in her own "voice" but I don't see that as a flaw. I think misogynist internet nerds give her a lot more grief than, say, Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen, the Coen Bros., Kevin Smith etc. when they're all guilty of basically the same thing. If I could go out in public and listen to people spout clever Coen-esque dialogue back-and-forth all day I'd just quit working and become a bum.

I'm not saying all those writers are on the same level or that any one is comparable to the other but Diablo Cody is the only one where I've ever seen people act like she's breaking some writing rule by doing it.

Saw this last night at a sneak screening. I enjoyed it, Charlize is pretty awesome, but that's no surprise, Oswalt was pretty snarky but has a pretty great role in the film.

Benefit of the screening was a Q&A with Reitman, Cody, Oswalt and Theron - Charlize is well pretty in person!. And also seems down to earth.. For some reason Cody left after about 2 questions and never came back.

Great chemistry between Oswalt and Theron in the film, and the q&A - release is Dec (limited)

And we also all got limited posters as we left. There are 5 total from each city they screened it at.

Solid Snake

neat poster.

PopcornTreeCt

I need to move to a real city.

Dr. DVD

I live near Orlando,FL, which supposed to be real city, but quite frankly does not get many artsy type releases the way other ones do . Kind of surprised me that Knoxville, TN was more prone to getting such stuff than Orlando .

PopcornTreeCt

It surprises me too. We have a decent film community here but it takes forever to get indies here.

Dr. DVD

I tend to find some decent stuff in Winter Park during the autumn months. However, it seems the Regal in that area does what most other ones do whenever Holiday season hits and puts the blockbusters on multiple screens and carry maybe one artsy movie if you're lucky. I find it ironic that theaters like those bill themselves as CinemaArt yet they don't carry the art ones when they're out in force.

Just saw this, walked away pretty disappointed in it. Feels completely worthless. I guess it's interesting in showcasing a horrible character as the lead, but where's the fun in that? Felt like it dragged even at 94 minutes.

Solid Snake

I haven't seen this sooooo I can't speak for the film...but...

Whether your character is a good person or a bad person..it's about how it's told. Raging Bull has a lead character that has no redeeming values as a person....but damnit...that's a great film.

Guru Askew

But where's the fun in "Raging Bull"?

Wazootyman

It basically boils down to "I'm trying to steal this guy from his wife, because I'm a bitch. I'm doing it, because I'm a bitch." repeated throughout the entirety of the movie. Which kinds of gets to you after a while, and definitely not in a good way.

Greg MacGuffin

I really liked it. It's dark. There isn't really any of the quirk that Juno had, but I think it will be equally polarizing. A lot of it is funny, but not in a laugh out loud kind of way. More often I found it to be sad and bleak. I thought Charlize Theron's performance was nicely done; she's more than just a bitch. I found myself relating to her probably more than I would like to admit. Anyone that never really got over high school (for better or worse) will likely identify with the flick.

I don't know if it will make my top ten of the year, but I liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it again at some point.

Tarantino

You had me at 'the writer of Juno'. And by, "had me", I mean "had me never, ever seeing this movie".

Charlie Goose

Is she naked?

Does Oswalt get some of it?

Osiris3657

I want to punch Diablo Cody in the ovaries, but I may see this anyway because Charlize Theron is hot

Solid Snake
