Thanks for the nod of support, Dave of Davenport. Have you ever felt utterly stranded in a pop culture phenomenon? That's JUNO for me; may as well be Alaska for all the immediacy it displays. I also agree with many of the observations Dave makes: love Rushmore, Election, and Michael Clayton... but also loved Atonement and do not see why a toney British period film should suddenly pose such a problem for film-viewers... Did everyone in America suddenly (Jim Jones style) take some STUPID PILLS??
