The only part that bugged me about the movie was when she yells "Thundercats GOOOO!" She's far too young to have seen that show as a kid, and it didn't get back on TV until after that movie was released - probably because that movie was released.

What should bug you is that is a mixture of two different sayings as opposed to something actually said on Thudercats.

It was a teen hipster reference, like Mott the Hoople. Or, for that matter, all her musical taste. To a 16-year old, Iggy Pop is like 90 years old.

Whatever. I watched the show all the time as a kid, but I couldn't tell you the exact line.

I get the whole teen hipster thing, but music is easier for a kid to come across than old shows that didn't really hit the re-run circuit. The cartoon reference just seemed the like the writer trying too hard, too forced. It's a small gripe against the movie on the whole, but it still bugged me.

Guilty too. It's one of my DVR favorites, and I don't normally go for the proverbial "chick flick". Michael Cera was cluelessly awesome. Loved the references to The Melvins and Sonic Youth too.

Mark is my cautionary tale. I don't think I'll ever wear my Social Distortion shirt in public again. :p

Speaking of clueless, I just noticed Ellen Page also played Ariadne in Inception. I had no idea.

Juno is absolutely the best use of Michael Cera's one-note acting.

Definatley a high quality film, with lots of good character moments. I think Ebert put it in his best of the '00s list.

Doesn't it actually make more sense that she actually misquotes the show? She may not have watched it (and I would dispute that there's no way she could have seen it - I clearly remember watching episodes a couple of years before Juno came out), but it is a rather well-known pop-culture reference. Chances are pretty high that she'd heard the line somewhere.

EDIT: also, I love the movie, and I'm not ashamed one bit.

You want herpes that bad? There has to be easier ways to do it. ;)

That said Juno is quite good...when Ellen Page is arguing with Jason Bateman and he is talking about Nirvana and she is talking about the Stooges it was pretty funny :)

Plus, who doesn't love J.K. Simmons?

She also had a recurring role in one of the early seasons of Trailer Park Boys, which if you haven't at least given it a shot, is well worth it.

For a mockumentary series made by an obscure Canadian studio in Nova Scotia, its fantastic.
