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.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.
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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
megan, heh, that would definitely help the second time around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

That's exactly why I could relax and enjoy it more the second time.
I had so many crying triggers in that movie!

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if that's just a me issue. I think probably.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jesse, that was a choke-up point for me. I don't think I cried, but gods, my heart ached. (I did cry in PS I Love You when she came home to the empty apartment, because... It's just so hard, you know? You can feel the echo in room, even if it's a tiny box.)

One thing I recall laughing about was Hilary Swank complaining about how they were poor and stuck in a crummy apartment so small they were always tripping over themsleves. While standing in her palatial apartment with multiple big rooms and hardwood floors and 9 foot ceilings and transoms over the doorways.
