So if you don't cozy up to Juno, you probably won't fall in love with her world view. I didn't. <BR/><BR/>In Glengarry, everyone talked the same because everyone was the same, or wanted to be. There was one character who couldn't be that ABC man anymore, and, though I haven't seen it in a while, I wonder if Jack Lemmon's character didn't start to talk differently. Hmmm. <BR/><BR/>To quell your nervousness, the coworker was not you. When you see the movie, I look forward to seeing if you can guess who it is.Amy Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04269214244026111710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620415011884234417.post-77270526451300956762009-02-09T13:57:00.000-08:002009-02-09T13:57:00.000-08:00Okay.

As a coworker of yours, I'm feeling just a bit paranoid. <BR/><BR/>I'd say Juno was successful and all of it's characters talked the same way and had the same sense of humor and had the same quick wit. But I'd also say that's what I disliked the most about it. <BR/><BR/>But with Glengarry Glen Ross part of the deal was the way that they talked helped define the world they lived in. And there was, I'd say, a bigger "message" to that movie.<BR/><BR/>Happily, ultimately, there are no rules and things work for some and not for others. The mystery of good art. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime I'm gonna start listening to how people talk more. <BR/><BR/>I love thinking about this shit!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188225202714831013noreply@blogger.com
