re: Juno

I'm being too harsh on Kubrick. A Clockwork Orange mesmerized me as a kid. But his stuff that I don't like, I REALLY don't like. For me, before I get into overanalyzing a movie, the one primary question is, "Was I entertained?" That, in the end, is the bottom line. And by all means a significant body of work buys a writer or director a couple Mulligans. But I can't stand it when people jump on the bandwagon because they are expected to. And that mentality runs rampant.
