Aye, Juliebird. It's Avatar Entertainment's first film, and I suspect last film, considering they went way over budget and nearly got sued. Jewel was ill during the shoot and it was a complete disaster anyway in terms of logistics (Jewel blogged about the director 'not being available' during the shoot). The fact they went back and reshot it in a place without electricity, to me, suggests they just did not have a clue what they were doing.
The sad thing is Jewel appears to be getting the blame for the mess it turned in to. Something tells me it wasn't her fault.
Seeing Juno again for the second time in a theater. I can't remember the last time I did that. Or even wanted to.
I saw it in the theatre twice too! Like 3 days apart. Partially because I'd promised a friend I'd go with her but I was really happy to be seeing it again and loved it more the second time.
Sorry, lisah. I hadn't been in this thread all weekend.
I just posted a video of a drunken recount of the Burr/Hamilton thing starring Michael Cera.

Note to JZ: I cried just as much, if not more.
But I thought it was better the second time too, if only because
I knew nothing would happen between the husband and Juno. I was much less tense and could just enjoy all the great dialogue.
ION, I'm very happy to see Marion Cotillard win a Golden Globe as well as seeing a French movie take home best foreign film, even if it did beat out Persepolis.
The James Mason conversation felt familiar, but I don't know that film.
I guess it reminds me of my reaction to Al Swearingen though.
megan, heh, that would definitely help the second time around.
What made you cry, megan? I ask because I didn't really know why I was crying until I was telling a friend (and made myself cry AGAIN), and it turns out it's
because of how hard the Jennifer Garner character's life as a single mother is going to be, and she thought she had it all worked out with the nice house and husband and etc.
What made you cry, megan?
Well, it wasn't that.
They were definitely happy tears. I think it's a combo of the sweetness of end with Juno and, viewing as someone who probably can't have kids, the amazing thing she did for this other woman.
But I thought it was better the second time too, if only because
That's exactly why I could relax and enjoy it more the second time.
I had so many crying triggers in that movie!
Well, it wasn't that.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if that's just a me issue. I think probably.
