Spike Jonze Ikea

This ad is hilarious. The first time I watched it, I was expecting some sort of brave little toaster sort of scene to happen. And I was then pleasantly surprised by the crazy old guy in the rain. Love this.

juNO!

I watched Juno the entire way through for the first time the other night. My first attempt at viewing this supposed cinematic snack was when it was in the theaters over winter break. I went with my friend and was really stoked to see it because Michael Cera, aka George Michael from Arrested Development was in it and because it received rave reviews from every publication I read about it. My friend and I walked out after 25 minutes. It was my first time ever walking out of a movie in the movie theater. So my second time watching it I cringed past the "clever" honest to blogs napolean dynamite-esque "Geez, Banana! Shut your freakin' gob!" waiting for it to get better. It didn't really. There were funny parts, but all in all it seemed like it was trying too hard.
