Juno, they must be out of ideas...

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?
