juno what i’m saying
09Jan08
As a quick complement to the Juno feature we’re running on the homepage today, I thought some Arrested Development fans might enjoy these promo spots that Jason Bateman & Michael Cera shot. They barely mention Juno at all, which somehow makes them even funnier. The first one is called “Bateman & Cera on Women & Coats.”
Thanks for the tip to getting most of the sounds of the movie. (Except for Sleep / So Far To Go [Hidden Track] which is off an Un-Canadian-Available album of Kimya Dawson’s) This movie sounded like it was coming from the eMusic archives, and lo and behold, it did!
It’s just a few weekdays, but Juno has spent the days since Monday as the biggest moneymaker in American cinema. It’s slightly ahead of National Treasure and I Am Legend, while playing on fewer than half the screens of either of those. Already well on its way to mark the highest earnings or any indie in American history.
Not that keeping score is the only way to measure success. Not that expensive movies can’t be good either. I’m just saying that this is a really special movie that’s resonating with a lot of people who’ve never gone to see a movie anything like this, and they’re going out of their way to find it.
I recommend you do the same.
