I think this Saturday SNL has Ellen Page from the great new movie Juno. Haven't seen it? I have the entire film uploaded if you'd like to watch it.

Right-click and "save as".
She is an excellent, witty and edgy actress, and she's very young. I first saw her as a little girl on the Canadian hit (And Rush favorite) Trailer Park Boys as Treena Lahey, daughter of the drunken trailer park supervisor. Juno is one of my favorite movies at this point. Really worth watching.

Yay to the writer's strike being over! We need Heroes!!!

My daughter loved Juno too. Though she said it was NOT for our 12 year-old to watch.

So, BBO... if I've heard correctly it's about a teenage pregnancy. As the father of a teenager, I don't know if I could take it. What do you think?

I think you'd love it. There were several times that I laughed until I head-rushed and a few times I was a bit choked up. I'm not kidding when I say that it is a very important, helpful movie to anyone who has children (girls or boys) and also perfect for people that find themselves wanting children, but not able to conceive, and of course, teens themselves will find it uplifting and it may perhaps instill a bit of wisdom and confidence.

Recommended highly!

Do you think it will glorify teenaged pregnancy though.

I am uneducated in this movie but I formed my opinion on it from the first trailer I saw. I want to be proved wrong on this.

Not nosing in Elf, but my advice to you - is to invest in a good shotgun.

Hairness, Bro, it certainly doesn't glorify teen preggers. It illustrates it in a very real, modern way, and offers hope to anyone who finds themselves in this predicament. It's also very much about adoptive parents and what they have to go through. It really isn't making fun of pregnancy. It helps the viewer to get an understanding of all aspects of the difficulties, guilt, responsibilities, etc. while giving a sense of hope.

Watch it. You'll see that I'm not steering you wrongly.

I was just out of high school myself when I had a moment like Hairy's.

I know ALL of the feelings Hairy describes.

I've got H, so I know all those feelings. I may watch the movie with my kids because these are the kinds of things they need to think about.
Onward and Upward!
