Just for the record, I don't quite "get" the show the way most of you do. That's why I come in here - to piece it all together.
Some, if not most of you, will see the smallest writing on the wall and then tie it to something in season 1. My memory isn't that good. I see the writing and go "What the hell does that mean?" Then I come in here, see you guys piece it together, then I play it up to my wife like I knew it all along. "Oh honey, you didn't know about the time travel angle of the show? How cute." |

Nobody talks like the characters in Juno, but you kind of feel it'd be kind of cool to talk that way on occasion. Smart girls don't get knocked up like that, but you kind of feel it'd be cool if people reacted so warmly and empathetically if she did. It's highly stylized, but still relatable, making it resonant. Saying Juno isn't realistic is like seeing this And responding 'no one sits like that when playing guitar.'

Do all intelligent people never make a mistake? He wouldn't answer it. Instead, he said I google something and it would show he and 10 million others have the same feeling. |

I didn't like the movie and found it to be a waste of time. Good for you. |

Yay! You're working in H'wood, doing H'wood stuff, and your assessment is so acute you found a little movie that made some $500M and got an oscar a 'waste of time.' Good luck with that. Maybe you can help Jon Peters develop more movies with giant mechanical spiders.

You're so cool. Oh, and the movie made $225 million worldwide, not $500 million. So get your facts straight if you're going to insult someone. |

And that's the final thing I'll say in this thread that isn't LOST related. |

I'm being insulted for the reason I didn't like the movie and not answering YOUR stupid ****ing question, to which you already know the answer, Asshole. Additionally, I provided a detailed response via PM as to why I didn't care for the movie, yet you conveniently left that out when announcing to the forum that I didn't answer your question. You want a condescending response? How about this: I'm really glad you think you're cool because you like this trendy, "hip" arsty little movie. A movie that I found precocious and unbearable but somehow, touched a nerve with a ****ing douchebag who lives in Lawrence, KS. There's your condescending answer, Prick. |

That merits some comment. In short, is there a possibility, however slight, that you just didn't understand Juno, or that people who DO understand Lost might STILL have valid reason to disagree with your theory?

He said that was why the movie was unrealistic. I asked a simple question based on his premise and he refused to give an answer. Obviously, the film couldn't be unrealistic if it is realistic to think intelligent people make mistakes. No one was knocking him because he disliked the film. They knocked him because he said it was unrealistic and the reason he gave for it. I don't see how the question was pointless. And it certainly wasn't insulting. |
