[kj] OT because there's fuck-all KJnews to talk about:Great names

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Aristocrats was almost as big a let down as Juno, which played like a 
lobotomized Ghostworld-meets-DeGrassi High episode.

(There needs to be a name for the sub-genre of movies of smirkingly wry 
precocious teenage girls surrounded by eccentric characters who, though 
misfits, eventually have some deep revelation about life that causes 
them to "come of age" -- that's like a whole cottage industry of movies, 
a la "My First Mister," a horrible take on this genre with Leelee 
Sobieski [2001] as the stock precocious, sarcastic teenage girl 
protagonist, also surrounded, like Juno, by eccentric  or weird adults 
who don't understand her; humor is replaced with the protagonist being 
droll and precious in these films. I always picture the LiveJournal 
demographic thinking they're brilliant.)
