continued from original:
---there will be blood is the best movie of the year. why? because it's probably the first work of post-pomo cinema. i'm seriously going to write you a letter about this.
---also about juno: it's about canada, not america. also, jason reitman, michael cera and ellen page are all canadian.
<3 4ever & always,

and Juno takes place in fictional Dancing Elk, Minnesota.

I have nothing against Mr. Reitman, or Ellen Page or Michael Cera, because Reitman's stamp on the film is virtually unidentifiable and the actors do a good job with what they have.
I have issues with America's heaping of gobs of praise onto a film that honestly is just so forgettably awful and offensive and scarily indicative of what "indie" has become in film, that it has sort of consumed me with a hatred I'd rather not awaken.
