(part one in an indefinitely long series about our Burger heritage)
I went to see “Juno” at the non-Sony Metreon last night and was greeted with a movie that lived up to the hype and delivered a really good story and some smart laughs! Thanks ken-ichi and kaysov for the recommendation and motivation. (Don’t see the trailer, it’s a better viewing experience without it, says vladypus.)

Die-hard “Arrested Development” fans will be delighted to see the careers of Michael Cera and Jason Bateman continuing on in the same intelligent and hilarious fashion that we came to expect from them on the short-lived Fox show.

“Arrested” fans will also be thrilled to see at least one joke that’s direct reference to the show. Fox may have killed the show, but the running gags from the show will live on!

People who aren’t in the cult of “Arrested” can get every single episode on DVD right now for $55 (with free shipping)! That’s just about a buck an episode!

I don’t like when other people write about movies, so I’ll temper my enthusiasm so people can see “Juno” on their own terms. But if you’re wondering whether the cineplexes will have anything to offer besides “Jingle All the Way 4,” “Slightly Raunchy Holiday Movie 6″ or “Consolation Non-Christian Non-Christmas Feel-Good Holiday Movie Based On A Book,” you can count on “Juno.”

OH! What does this post have to do with BURGERS? See the movie and find out. They’re a crucial instrument in the movie when they’re in the foreground, and they make a background appearance that typifies the Reitman attention to detail.

If anyone emails me (racecar at free google email service with ads . com) from a juno.com address, I will be in awe.
