Juno (2007)


Recommended Posts

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:

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
