Her music is in this movie. Or, at the very least, her music is in one of trailers I saw a long time ago. That is a bit of encouragement - I'm sure the film is charming. However, I've really been slacking on my film studies (three Netflix rentals have been sitting on my VCR for more than three weeks, not good) and I need to get serious. I have a lot of movies I really want to, and or feel I need to, see. Juno isn't exactly a priority. Oh yeah, one of the first thing I noticed when the beginning credits started was "music by Kimya Dawson," which excited me a lot. Pretty much the entire movie was Kimya Dawson/The Moldy Peaches, plus like 2 Belle and Sebastian songs, so I was pretty happy with that. It definitely was a charming movie. I'd heard bad things about the writing, and the beginning made me a little weary, because it seemed to be trying too hard with the dialog, but it improved. There were enough redeeming qualities to the movie to outweigh the ambivalences of the writing. I'm inclined to say it's a bit overrated, and possibly overhyped, but I also don't enjoy seeing movies in crowded theaters, because people miss the clever jokes and laugh too long at stupid shit that is too ostentatious to be funny. I don't watch sitcoms with laugh tracks, so I certainly don't want them to my movies. An indie loses some of its charm when treated like a Hollywood box office smash. But maybe I'm just bitter to be back in the suburbs... |
