So I was talking to a friend of mine last night, and he directed me to this. It appears that the powers at be want to make a video game about the movie Juno. Umm...what? Of all the movies to come out this winter, that's the one they wanna make a video game?
After some thought, I figured out how they could turn the movie into a game. The first level would entail hooking up with Paulie (Michael Cera). The second level would start with drinking lots of Sunny D, and taking the pregnancy test. The third level would be going to Planned Parenthood, signing in, staying there for a while, and then chickening out. The fourth level would be telling your parents; you would have to devise your plan with Leah, (anytime Leah is around in the movie, she is playable by the second player, like with Tails in Sonic 2). Following that, you have to find adoptive parents in the penny saver (also a Leah level). The next level is meeting with them/signing the paperwork and all that. In the seventh level, you break up their marriage. After that you make sure that Jennifer Garner's character is still in. The ninth level is giving birth, and giving the baby up. The last stage would be going back to life as usual.
In game mini missions could involve eating a huge lunch, filling Paulie's mailbox with Tic Tacs, walking around school while knocked up without hitting anything, and another would be making snarky comments at everything and anything that goes on (you would need a microphone for that part).
Rob: What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Wherein which I proclaim my love for Project Runway
HE'S GONE! HE'S GONE! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY HE'S GONE!
Okay, that was overly mean of me, and you probably have no idea who or what I'm talking about, unless you also watch Project Runway, and watched tonight's episode.
First, I love Project Runway so much. It's one of the only reality shows where people actually have to have talent to get far or win on this show, unlike, say...ummm...okay, I don't watch that much reality TV, as I think it's basically pointless, but this is that one show that has people being on and doing stuff based on their talent, not because they're the most personable, or pretty, or will make for good TV. In addition, they opt to test the designers to see what they can do with whatever they are thrown at them, not make them do ridiculous physical challenges and such. SURVIVOR! Like Survivor! That's a ridiculous reality show where no one has any actual talent.
Like, on tonight's episode, they had to make outfits for WWE Divas, which was cool. It's like they've realized that straight dudes watch this show too, so this week, we got hot girls (well, hotter girls than that are usually on this show), skimpy outfits, hilarious commentary from the judges (finally, Michael Kohrs hasn't been as funny as he usually is, but he's finally turned the funny back on, which is great), and people voted off who deserve it for a change (that would be Ricky finally going home after being in one of the worst designers all season except for two weeks ago when he did a decent job and won a challenge). Chris winning was great, because, other than Christian, he really got this week's challenge, and since he was voted off a few weeks ago, he's really stepped his game up, and seems to be striving to improve his work. Christian's work is good, but he's so fucking cocky and all "I'm the best y'all." And the hair, oh god the hair. It's like he had sex with an electrical socket while getting a hair cut with a hedge cutter. I think Jillian's a good designer, and good lord is she pretty. Rami's work is alright. Nothing to stop the presses about, but okay. Sweet P's designs are good and I didn't think that she'd be able to salvage her design this week, but she did, so that was good. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate Ricky's design work. I didn't think any of it was good at all, and I'm glad he's gone. And Tim Gunn is the best host/mentor ever. I wish he could mentor me with my writing.
