  Did you like this movie more because you have a hard-on for Ellen Page and Michael Cera? Taking away your admiration for any of the actors, would you still like it? I liked her in Hard Candy, too, but she annoyed the hell out of me in Juno. JUST STOP TALKING. You're supposed to be 16! And how did that bitch have a drivers license already?
  
  I felt it was contrived and way over-the-top indie. Plus that whole bullshit device where they mention obscure rock bands or cult movies as a "WE'RE COOL" marker can go right to hell. P.S. I know Iggy Pop and The Stooges aren't all too obscure, but to MOST NORMAL PEOPLE they are.
