This is a very good movie and I recommend EVERYONE go see it. It's a "chick flick" so to speak and my girlfriend forced me to go see it and I am happy she did. It was a very funny movie and it was a great experience. It kinda puts the whole teen pregnancy thing in perspective.

4/5

Plot summary: "Juno" stars Ellen Page as the title character, a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

Every so often there's a film that comes out that touches us in a certain way and stays with us forever. In 2004 there was Napoleon Dynamite, in 2005 Hard Candy, in 2006 there was Little Miss Sunshine, in 2007 there's Juno.

Juno is one of the funniest films in 2007. In fact, I'll even go as far as to say it is the best film of 2007. I loved every second of this film, from the cartoonish opening credits to, where “it started with a chair,” and “it ended with a chair.”

The film stars the highly underrated Ellen Page as Juno, a teenage girl trying to find herself in the world and after an intimate night with best friend Paulie Bleeker, Juno becomes pregnant. The story then follows her over the next four seasons as she finds who she really is.

It is a beautiful romantic comedy, drama that I highly recommend to every single person who's trying to find themselves.

As Rotten Tomatoes puts it, Juno is "one of the brightest, funniest comedies of the year, whose smart script and direction are matched by assured performances."

Congratulations to Ellen Page for her Golden Globe nomination. Good luck to her, she certainly deserves it!

If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out here.

I give this film a perfect score... 5/5!

Very well acted indeed... I absolutely love Ellen Page. She did such a great job in Hard Candy and now this.

I haven't seen this yet but really want to when it shows in UK but I know its gonna be good because Ellen is a stand out star for the future and she seems so down to earth in interviews.

Took my wife to see it and we both loved it. Great movie.

I always have to pee half way through a movie theater movie. Usually there is a time when I can go, OK, nothing is happening, BRB.

Could not find that time for this movie.

Sure is: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?...1-07&p=.htm

That's awesome. I was expecting this to be more of a cult classic (like Garden State or The Lost Boys), never for it to become #1.

#1 at the box office on Tuesday as well.

I think I might go see this film again this weekend.

There was an awesome piece about Ellen Page in Empire Film Magazine over here in UK and about Juno as well, is a great read.

Damn you UK'rs :p Most of the mags over here have a very tiny blurb about her, but it really is barely anything. Doesn't even count as a blurb IMO.

Daily charts DO NOT count. To be considered a "#1" movie, it has to win a weekend.

You don't say? I knew that, thanks. Daily charts count for daily charts. What the hell does it matter? Monday and Tuesday it beat every other film in theaters, which makes it #1 for those days. :rolleyes:

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
