JUNO

Do yourself a favor and go see this movie as soon as you can. It is not technically out yet, but there are free screenings going on all over--see if one is going to be near you: http://www.foxsearchlight.com/juno/

We waiting in line for over an hour for the free screening last night at the ArcLight and I would have gladly waited longer. It was so charming and clever. The lead--Ellen Paige was quite a smart character with a quick wit and of course Michael Cerra is my fave-AKA "George Michael" from the greatest cancelled TV series Arrested Development. It's an all-star cast with really sweet/hillarious moments. Check it out for shizzle!

I've heard a lot of hype about this movie, but don't really know what it's about. I'll look into it. Glad to hear you guys liked it.

I've been hearing a lot about this movie too. Isn't Jennifer Garner in it too? I'll have to check it out.

I will not release any previous mustache "odes" until a new ode is written for 2007.

Ode to Tom Sellek

In your copter, you did fly
As you starred as our hero- Magnum P.I.
Our love developed
While you kicked some trash
And did so sporting one bad-a mustache.

Oh, Quigley how could we forget
How you rescued the damsel with
Out break a sweat

On Friends you’re remembered
For being so hip
And for the manhood
Displayed on your lip.

Inspired we are as we
Gather tonight
With Staches and nog
And songs of delight.

So to Hitler, Burt Reynolds, and
To mighty Tom Sellek
Thanks for making the mustache
A long lasting relic.

2005

ODE TO BURT REYNOLDS
You broke Loni’s heart
Before you broke mine
With you upper lip hair:
That mustache divine.

It was in a flash
In but an instance
That you entered my heart
As you starred in Deliverance.

Into stardom you sprang
With Cannonball Run
Took my breath away
My head, how it spun.

Your sex appeal was so great
I couldn’t stand it
As you shot’m up good
In Smokey and the Bandit.

So into the 21st Century
You stand proud
Among the shaved lips
Set apart from the crowd.

I stand here today
in 2005
Happy to know that
it’s strong and alive

Sported so manly
on your upper lip
That mustache so dear,
so sexy so hip.

That bit about "I'd gladly wait longer" is quite the recreation of history. I think I recall you saying "this is so not worth it" and "never again". Of course that was before the movie....but still (hehe). But the movie was great, I will agree with that!

Yeah! I've been so excited for that movie to come out, so I'm glad to hear it is as good as I hoped it would be. Maybe I will treat myself to it after finals.
