The “Juno” Debate: The kids fire back

Over on one of the MTV blogs a very earnest poster defends the film’s internal music logic, an issue that had been attacked vehemently, by Jim DeRogatis in Chicago and others. I’m not convinced either way, but I did like this cold introductory graf, with all spellings intact:

You know who doesn’t like “Juno”? Guys over 30 who fancy themselves any sort of music afficianado and music critics. We’ve heard all kinds of reasons why they might object, but we propose that it’s an unconsious visceral reaction to the double hit of the Jason Bateman/Sonic Youth rejection scene.

The poster, incidentally, says that the Moldy Peaches appeared on Oprah, but this is apparently a reference to the “View” appearance. For more on the film, click on the “Juno” tag below.
