Everyone loves “Juno.” The soundtrack was on the top of the digital salesfigures just last week.
Correction: everyone but fairweather music critics who routinely ignore dozens of films each year, but have dug their head out of the sand to feel some self-important sense of ownership over the film because it dares to mention rock bands like the Melvins, the Stooges and Sonic Youth and has the gall to have tenuous and meaningless rock connections that have gotten their panties in a twist (like this fucking jackass).
To win a disc, all you need to do is email us and send a link to a rock critic who normally has fuck-all to do with movies, but suddenly woke up because he smelled fried chicken and decided to write some outraged piece about it.
For the record: elements of “Juno” annoyed us too (overall we liked it), but people need to get the fuck over themselves when pop culture references are made in films. Yes, they can make us cringe too; it’s not the end of the world people and get outside yourself for a second.
Rant over. Meanwhile, the Moldy Peaches’ Kimya Dawson – who is an integral part of the soundtrack – will appear on the popular housewives chat show, “The View” (on January 21) much to the chagrin of pop music writers who feel she doesn’t deserve to be there for reasons that are their own. Plainviewing?
