Juno is sexually attractive when pregnant.
Reminds me of Patriot Games (the novel). There's a great exchange about pregnant women.

Juno being sexually attractive when pregnant. Yup, you wrote that in the right column.

Life Aquatic... Hmm, I love what Criterion does and most of the films they choose to give the royal treatment, but they definitely got it wrong when they chose to work on Life Aquatic. So overrated!

Dr. T and the Women is a very good movie
Juno is not

Never saw Dr T, I usually don't like well-recieved Altman so I tend to avoid the ones that get panned.

Juno is unfunny and the writing painfully mannered. Diablo Cody is a one hit wonder.

Is the Life Aquatic really overrated? It's might be my least favorite Wes Anderson film but I thought that was the general feeling most had about it. It's MetaCritic score is a 62, which is just about average. I guess the IMDB score is a bit higher at 7.2 but that's not too much higher than it should be rated.

You don't need to be prepared for it.  It's a movie, not a test.

Sometimes it helps for me to be able to look for things I may not normally find in a film - I tried late night and fell asleep, maybe I was tired, or maybe I thought it sucked - whatever I am willing to give it a second chance.

You may right about that. However, a lot of people I know really like that film. Besides, cinecasting Criterion made a special edition about it. 9 times out of 10 that's a good sign. Life Aquatic was the other 1.
