Juno, on the other hand, don’t even get me started. Suffice it to say, I have my problems with that movie and its script.

Thank you for Smoking was OK at best. Mostly because of the acting. But it was NOT exceptional by any standards. And I would bet money Juno is even less so. These films will quickly be forgotton. Flavors of the week. But then I suppose alot of people do want the same thing over and over, just in a different package.

I highly doubt that Diablo and Reitman would proceed with a film if they didn’t think they could make gangbusters, in terms of creative spark and box office. These two have the world in their hands now and they are both smart enough to know it. They both know the difficulty of dark comedy, and even more, horror comedy, so Idle Hands this will not be (not to knock Idle Hands, it was underrated).

I think Diablo is going after the Cherished ’80s with a vengeance, with Juno being our generation’s Fast Times, and she’s quoted as loving Rosemary’s Baby, so the girl knows female horror.

As for Megan Fox, she’s the new Phoebe Cates and nothing more. Personally, I find her exponentially more appealing as a body and as an actress (lick! smile!) than Jessica Biehl (boring) and Alba (talentless, obnoxious).
