Garden State vs. Juno Poll

[domotime2]

Okay, im pretty sure I know what AP kids will end up voting for but let me defend a little bit here....

Garden State
- Clever
- Generational
- Brought Indie Music to the World (ha)


Juno
- Better Writing
- Funnier
- Brought a new wave of indie music to the world...and got an oscar.

[Until The Bombs]

Garden State.

[Fauxi]

I really liked both, but no matter how much I like Diablo Cody I'm going to have to go for Garden State.

[domotime2]

to further defend juno....


didnt you guys feel that the characters of juno were a lot more realistic then those of garden state?

I voted Garden State. High school kids do not talk like they did.

lolololololololololololololololol





No.

[thebestkylever]

lolololololololololololololololol





No.

my thoughts exactly.

[drudo182]

Juno is such a trashy movie.

I hate Diablo Cody.

[AtlanticRadio]

Garden State without any question. I wouldn't watch Juno again.

[RiCCioLi]

garden state is so over rated. I've seen it twice and dont even remember anything about it. I feel like everyone loves it because of that guy from scrubs

[trustmeimokay]

I HATED Juno. Ugh. Garden State is one of my favorites. This isn't even close.

[patpratt]

to further defend juno....

no one actually talks like the kids in Juno.

"Honest to blog?!"

[drudo182]

And everyone likes Juno because it has "great writing". I pray that Diablo Cody's horror film sounds like this one so people will realize how awful Juno really was.

At least Braff is talented both behind the camera, and in front of it. No denying that he has a great cinematic eye. He has some very P.T. Anderson-esque shots.

[tacosforcharles]

Garden State fo sho, although I enjoy both of them.

[Kif]

Both are as bad as each other.

[MickShamrock]

Juno.

[heyozzie]

I HATED Juno. Ugh. Garden State is one of my favorites. This isn't even close.

exactly what i came in here to say.

[sweetforever]

Garden State

[domotime2]

i just felt like the characters of garden state were just so over the top indie that it made it slightly unbelievable....

[Kif]

i just felt like the characters of garden state were just so over the top indie that it made it slightly unbelievable....
Because a pregnant 16 year old who answers everything with a quirky line isn't over the top?

[Roboman]

i just felt like the characters of garden state were just so over the top indie that it made it slightly unbelievable....

The characters were "so over the top indie"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? It's a movie, not a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah concert.

That being said, I don't know what to vote. I've only seen both movies once, but I think I'll go with Garden State.

[googirl8907]

Garden State

[JesusV2]

what the heck! juno is clearly the better of these two. i'm confused as to how people find garden state to be superior. explain.

Honest to blog? Juno was totally not boss, while Garden State was the cheese to my macaroni.

[PDon11]

Saved! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Juno

[Smash Adams]

the characters in Garden State changed as they interacted, Juno remained exactly the same even when she had to deal with serious things like being pregnant and knowing she might of helped destroy a marriage

[JesusV2]

i'm serious! haha i really did find juno to be completely enjoyable and much more accessible than garden state. it was hilarious and touching at the same time. why all the juno hate?

I updated my post to further my point, but Juno's writing was cringe worthy it was one doodle that can not be undid, homeskillet.

[UntilItKillsYou]

Garden State is my favorite movie of all time

no lie

[KStrat]

but it has fingernails...

and i still voted garden state

^one of my faves too

[gilatron5000]

Both are as bad as each other.haha. I kind of really agree.

Honest to blog? Juno was totally not boss, while Garden State was the cheese to my macaroni.This is one of the best posts I've read in a long time.

[domotime2]

I think Juno's character was obviously supposed to be over the top with her 21st century lingo....that was absolutely the point of her character. And the fact that her dimeanor didnt' change throughout the course of the film was purposely done as well....

and I hate to use this as a point again....
Garden State = No Oscars
Juno = 1 oscar.

[just.Starla.]

Juno, but Garden State was great too. It had a lot of really amazing artists on the soundtrack. I don't know if I would know Frou Frou if it wasn't for that movie.

Crash won an oscar for best picture, your argument is void.

[anamericangod]

Garden State, no contest.

[kemichels]

Juno was fucking horrible. Basically showed that girls shouldn't take teenage pregnancy seriously, or at least put a decent amount into thinking about their decisions. She was irresponsible and wae like "oh, I'll get an abortion...oh I'll throw it up for adoption to these peopl because they seem nice". Plus, in the end, she really made the Michael Cera's character take little to no respnsibility for taking care of the fucking thing....that's sending a great message.

Also, the music fucking SUCKED. SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED.


Garden State was a fine movie. I enjoyed it for what it was and it was shot very ...different than most movies, but it didn't live up to all the hype.

[MADSTA]

I voted Garden State. High school kids do not talk like they did.
Watchu talkin bout? I say honest to blog all the time.


...nawt.

[tomakebelieve]

Both are as bad as each other.

Agreed so much.

[I'm DC]

Juno sucked. Ellen Page Sucks. Garden State was okay.

[Miss Heartcore]

Okay, im pretty sure I know what AP kids will end up voting for but let me defend a little bit here....

Don't agree with that at all.

I voted Garden State. High school kids do not talk like they did.
I went to an all girls school full of people that talked like Juno.

I'm voting Garden State, no contest. Didn't care for Juno at all.

[trustmeimokay]

Ellen Page reminds me of a friend's ex-girlfriend that I hated, thus I hate Ellen Page. She's so condescending in every thing she says and every movie she's in. Fuck her.

[domotime2]

Crash won an oscar for best picture, your argument is void.
crash was a great movie? extremely well received by a large proportion of critics.

[eraserhead]

Hahaha I love how it's cool to hate the Juno soundtrack now, back when the movie came out everyone was blowing their load all over it.

was there anything un-believable that she did though? its not like her actions were far-fetched, a lot of suburban girls get knocked up and deal with it in different ways...

if anything it showed how responsible she was for understanding that she was not mature enough by any means to be a mother, and instead of killing it, she gave it up for adoption.

i dont morrally agree with Jigsaw, but i love saw. ha

I kind of morally agree with Jigsaw.

No, everyone loves it because it IS Scrubs

[trustmeimokay]

Are you kidding? They're like opposites...

Hahahaha, I can't say I can ever take your opinions on movies seriously ever again.

[domotime2]

Hahahaha, I can't say I can ever take your opinions on movies seriously ever again.
dont get all holy'er than though on me now...

crash was a fine fine movie. shot well, written well, (good morals...), and clearly im not alone on this one.

[Ailite]

Juno sucks. I praised it when it came out and its not horrible, but for the amount of praise it gets it certainly is. The characters are unrealistic and annoying, and I can't begin to describe how annoying the writing is. Also, Garden State's music kicks the shit out fo Juno's.

[Ailite]

dont get all holy'er than though on me now...

Crash was a good movie until it stole Brokeback Mountain's Oscar, now I will never watch it again

[pisspants]

I enjoyed both movies.
Although, it doesn't get much better then Zac Braff.

[thursday8605]

juno was some weak shit. boring movie...

[SockMonkeyRiot]

Are you kidding? They're like opposites...

Garden State seemed like Scrubs if you take out the wacky humor

[Indoor Living]

Garden State is one of my top 3 favorite movies.

[Adeniz19]

to me, garden state is a movie you appreciate more with each watch. juno is a movie that is best the first time you watch it.

[Indoor Living]

to me, garden state is a movie you appreciate more with each watch. juno is a movie that is best the first time you watch it.


That's so true. Like I love both movies, but I have a much more consistent love with Garden State.

[Adeniz19]

oh, and little miss sunshine is exponentially better than both. :)

[OdeToTheSun]

Voted for Juno, though I do hate that indie shit too.

[Miss Heartcore]

oh, and little miss sunshine is exponentially better than both. :)
LMS turned out to be a total disappointment for me. I had high hopes for it.

[Adeniz19]

Voted for Juno, though I do hate that indie shit too.
:eyebrow:

is that a paramore avatar?

[Jessooker]

I'm not a big fan of either...

[domotime2]

haha im happy 4 people voted for "hating indie shit"

[FOBcareemo]

both are overrated as fuck





but garden state

[notoaststereo]

garden state

[BJW7191]

garden state is my favorite movie... its amazing. juno was cute quirky but only decent. people are always talking about how garden state is too overly indie... juno was way worse (not that being indie is a bad thing, juno was just overly indie).

[JJJ]

No shit Garden State

[kwsqd]

Both are as bad as each other.
yes

[TJ Wells]

If you're asking which is a better movie it's Juno by a mile. But I think I love Garden State more.

[just.Starla.]

oh, and little miss sunshine is exponentially better than both. :)
THIS

[just.Starla.]

Are you kidding? They're like opposites...
Agreed. Garden State and Scrubs are 2 totally different movies

[Kif]

Honest to blog? Juno was totally not boss, while Garden State was the cheese to my macaroni.
Hahah. I'm going to try and slip this into conversations now.

[WakingTheMisery]

Anyone who put Juno should be shot in the face three times.

[agloriousruin]

garden state is so over rated. I've seen it twice and dont even remember anything about it. I feel like everyone loves it because of that guy from scrubs

I actually didn't start watching Scrubs until after I saw Garden State, which is pretty much my all time favorite movie. Its just one of those movies that I saw at exactly the right time in my life and the idea of feeling so unsure of yourself and having no clue where life is going hit home for me. I do like Juno, but I don't think I'll ever be able to relate to it like I did Garden State.

So yeah, Garden State.

[a speedo model]

Juno had better writing? I don't get the joke...

Garden State.

[OdeToTheSun]

:eyebrow:

is that a paramore avatar?
Yes so?

[popdisaster00]

Garden State was MUCH funnier and had better writing

[domotime2]

i will concede my juno had better writing....

but to say Garden state was FUNNIER than juno is way off.....there wasnt anything funny about garden state, it was all just weird for the sake of being weird type stuff. The side charcters of Juno were all on their A game, including the father (forgot the actor's name) and Cera.

I don't understand your logic at all. Schindler's List was funnier than Juno.

[stars_hidefire]

love garden state<3 I'm pretty sure I've watched it 205852732 times.

[Throwback]

Two 'indie' movies that both had over million dollar budgets.

Juno is utter trash and I loved Garden State til I watched it on mushrooms and realized how full of shit it was. Garden State wins though for having a Nick Drake song.

[domotime2]

I don't understand your logic at all. Schindler's List was funnier than Juno.
ha no need to get clever on me here....

Juno was actually supposed to be a funny movie, and it definitely was. Perhaps you didnt find the Juno character to be funny, but the others definitely were as I definitely laughed a few times while watching Juno, whereas Garden State (which I enjoyed) didnt.

[Throwback]

Saved! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Juno
Yep. Thank you.

[Throwback]

Garden State = No Oscars

Oh okay because Oscars denote what a good movie is. Didn't The Departed get best film even though its an overbloated REMAKE. REMAKE.

Yeah, fuck the Oscars and the Academy who are still wiping Scorcese's cum off their faces.

[Throwback]

garden state is my favorite movie... its amazing. juno was cute quirky but only decent. people are always talking about how garden state is too overly indie... juno was way worse (not that being indie is a bad thing, juno was just overly indie).
Overly indie? Do you even know what that word means? I love how in the film world indie suddenly means 'quirky characters and soundtrack with the Shins on it.'

Watch Primer. That's some 'overly indie' shit.

Garden State was just a romantic comedy that happened to not followed the three point arc and had different music. The end.

[Throwback]

I actually didn't start watching Scrubs until after I saw Garden State, which is pretty much my all time favorite movie.

I do like Juno, but I don't think I'll ever be able to relate to it like I did Garden State.

So yeah, Garden State.
Then watch The Graduate. Garden State is like the anthem for walking vaginas.

[SteveD]

Garden State

Juno was terrible. Sorry.

[just.Starla.]

[fadedmemories]

Juno, though Garden State was just as good

[Adeniz19]

Oh okay because Oscars denote what a good movie is. Didn't The Departed get best film even though its an overbloated REMAKE. REMAKE.

Yeah, fuck the Oscars and the Academy who are still wiping Scorcese's cum off their faces.What does The Departed being a remake have to do with the quality of the movie?

[Kif]

Juno is hilarious. Remember when she used the hamburger phone? Oh fuck I died when I saw that.

[domotime2]

Juno is hilarious. Remember when she used the hamburger phone? Oh fuck I died when I saw that.
i can pick out lame gags for any comedy ever if you want to go there?

[Dr. Acula]

Garden State. Not even close.

[domotime2]

ya this poll is done....garden state squashed juno. im not surprised.

[3eb23]

Garden State no contest. btw the music in juno was terrible.

[Poultrylicious]

If you want a real indie movie watch "My Winnipeg"
If you want a better version of Garden State watch The Graduate
Ellen Paige's best movie is Hard Candy

[BJW7191]

Overly indie? Do you even know what that word means? I love how in the film world indie suddenly means 'quirky characters and soundtrack with the Shins on it.'

i was going by what modern day indie is. you know like the odd-ball phones, the music, the strange animations and shit

chill out... name dropping and trying to be an elitist wont make you sound cool

[kafe]

Garden State

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Garden State. Juno was so fucking overrated. The characters and dialouge were just unrealistic and annoying. Also no scenes between Michael Cera and Jason Bateman was a huge dissapointment for me. A better poll would have been Garden State vs. Last Kiss or Eternal Sunshine

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Juno is hilarious. Remember when she used the hamburger phone? Oh fuck I died when I saw that.

That and the line about pork swords were the only good parts in the movie

[Throwback]

That's not modern day indie (whatever the hell that means), its just movies that slightly vary from the norm. Only slightly. Indie means independent, rightttt? So how are these movies with studio backings and million-dollar-plus budgets 'indie.'?

The closest thing I can think of that's been released semi-recently that most people know of would be The Squid & the Whale. I'd say that qualifies. I'm not saying being truly 'indie' automatically denotes quality, just this rampant misuse of the word is irritating because I'm such a film geek.

Its like how every band with a piano is now an indie band too. The word has lost all meaning. And that's not name-dropping at all, I know a lot of people who know about Primer, but then again, they actually like movies.

[popdisaster00]

I agree with the better writing, but there was nothing funny about Garden State, or at least not to me.



Agreed. It (Juno) wasn't laugh out loud funny, but it had its moments.
It was subtle humor.

"It says balls on your face"

(or whatever he said)

"Last time I saw you, you were doing coke lines off a urinal."

So much better than:

"Honest to blog?"

I liked Juno upon my first viewing...but it got way too overrated way too quick. And yeah, I guess Garden State can be considered overrated as well, but there are so many films that deserved an oscar spot that got fucked because of Juno. And watching it now, I can't even get past some of the cheesy lines that are in Juno. The storyline and plot is great, I especially loved her parents. Overall though, I just see it as super overrated.

[humanafterall]

Agreed. Garden State and Scrubs are 2 totally different movies
Que?

And Garden State is much funnier than Juno. When Andrew wakes up in Marks house, that whole scene makes me cry everytime from laughter.

I agree with everything that you said there.

I agree with you that Juno did get overrated. I remember about a year ago when I saw a preview and thought that this looks like a movie me and a few of my friends would love. The next thing I knew, everybody started loving it and even talking like her, which is weird because it is a type of movie that I expected no one in my town like. Even though it can seem overrated, I still like it because its a sweet film, and Juno is a character that I can relate to.

I don't really remember the part that you are talking about. I've seen most of this movie, but not from start to finish. Maybe I'll either rent it, or wait until its on IFC again.

It is basically the exact same thing that happened with Napoleon Dynamite, haha.

Do you want me to go and pick out every single cheese line from the movie? I've got the script on my computer if you want me to.

Edit: Just opened the script. Here we go:

Juno: Quiet, Banana. Hey, shut your gob
for a second, okay?

ROLLO
Well, well. If it isn’t MacGuff the
Crime Dog! Back for another test?

ROLLO
This is your third test today, Mama
Bear. Your eggo is preggo, no doubt
about it!

JUNO
Silencio! I just drank my weight in
Sunny D. and I have to go, pronto.

JUNO
Yes, hello, I need to procure a hasty
abortion?...What was that? I’m sorry,
I’m on my hamburger phone and it’s
kind of awkward to talk on. It’s
really more of a novelty than a
functional appliance.

------------------------------------------------

NO ONE TALKS LIKE THIS!

[just.Starla.]

It is basically the exact same thing that happened with Napoleon Dynamite, haha.
Oh yeah, I almost didn't even see that getting big, but I was wrong.

[domotime2]

i mean i thought paulie bleaker was pretty funny with most of his lines....and juno's dad was funny too. but no no..haha honest to blog is definitely the only line said in the enitre film

[domotime2]

you mustve really liked it? haha

[popdisaster00]

It's a great script. It is. But that doesn't mean the dialogue is realistic in my opinion

see my edited post up there^^

[Jake's got woe]

I liked both movies.

But I have to laugh at all the people who are saying Garden State is SO realistic. The characters in Garden State talk more like real people, but Juno is a FAR more realistic movie in terms of plot and situation.

Unless you and all your friends spend your time hanging out in empty mansions, shooting flaming arrows in the sky to pass the time, or like to stand on the edges of endless abysses, screaming all your existential angst into black nothingness. Hell, I don't know what kids do these days.

You make valid points. The concept of teen pregnancy and everything that happened in Juno is totally realistic.

At the same time, I think almost every single thing that happened in Garden State happens in real life too. The endless abyss thing was just one scene - not like that happens to everyone, all the time.

You're 100% right that Juno was way more realistic than Juno. Plus with the language and all, I think its a teenage thing. Most kids use some sort of slang, or at least quite a few that I know do.

Garden State

What I meant was Garden State.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

what in the world is your avatar?
It's Bill Milner as Will Proudfoot from the movie Son of Rambow. Twas one of my favorite movies this year. Just a really heartwarming story.

Edit: and by the way, first time I saw your new avatar, I elicited a hearty chuckle and said "Pivot!" out loud.
What I meant was Garden State.
Haha, I know, I was being a loser making a bad joke in reference to your mistake. No harm intended. :biggrin:

[itsmesean0630]

I voted Garden State even though I loved Juno. Garden State I felt had more depth to it, more of a coming of age film then Juno in which she feels no remorse for anything. Hell, it wasn't until she had the baby she finally showed some real emotion for it.

I wanted to see that movie. What is it about again?

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I wanted to see that movie. What is it about again?
It's about this young boy named Will who grows up in a religious community called The Brethren who are not allowed to mix with the "secular" world, listen to music, or watch television or movies. That last bit plays an important part for Will after he meets and befriends Lee Carter, a seeming bully at first who later reveals himself to be a little more complicated. Will and Lee bond over a bootleg copy of Rambo: First Blood that Lee has recorded in a movie theater. Will becomes so captivated by his first film viewing that he immediately agrees to help Lee make a movie of their own to submit to a screen contest for youths. The rest of the movie is about their budding friendship and it's really touching the way they wrap the whole thing up. I highly suggest it.

Agreed.

It's Bill Milner as Will Proudfoot from the movie Son of Rambow. Twas one of my favorite movies this year. Just a really heartwarming story.

Edit: and by the way, first time I saw your new avatar, I elicited a hearty chuckle and said "Pivot!" out loud.

Haha, I know, I was being a loser making a bad joke in reference to your mistake. No harm intended. :biggrin:
Thats okay; I understand.

It's about this young boy named Will who grows up in a religious community called The Brethren who are not allowed to mix with the "secular" world, listen to music, or watch television or movies.

That sounds amazing. Bookmarking that on amazon for when I get paid.

Garden State. Thank you Kyle.

What an insult to Garden State. Garden State shits all over Juno.

I agree, Son of Rambow was very good and I felt quite underrated last year.

Haha, seriously.

[ActorInThisPlay]

did not enjoy either of these movies...

[Talib Scottie]

Garden State I thought was a really good movie, Juno I thought was OK.

Saved! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Juno

Ha, I agree with this, actually.

[Talib Scottie]

Realism has nothing to do with whether or not I like a movie. It's a well done unplanned pregnancy movie but outside of the personality of the lead character, everything is rather basic. The unusual circumstances found in Garden State were what I really enjoyed about the movie.

Also I find the first like, 5-10 minutes of Juno unwatchable, ha.

Dude, for sure. Juno is a complete joke. Terrible script too.
