Premiere

Jason Reitman on December 6th, 2007

Talk about a dream come true. I have been going to the Mann Village in Westwood since I was a kid. I've waited outside that building for movies so many times, I couldn't even begin to list the films. I still have the stubs to prove it. So, when I heard Juno was going to premiere there, I was simply overcome with emotion. Even stuffed the ticket stubs in my jacket pocket so I could show the audience.

The film played rowdier than a normal gala. People really got into it. I made mutual dreams come true by introducing Ellen Page to Sarah Silverman. Jack Black was apparently there. Megan Fox from my new film, Jennifer's Body, that I'm doing with Diablo Cody came by and apparently looked hot. My new buddy/fellow-french-bulldog-owner Jason Schwartzman was also there. But the greatest guest made a very special appearance after the show.

I had told everyone to remain in their seats, and miraculously they did. It was then my great pleasure to introduce together on stage for the first time in years, THE MOLDY PEACHES!

Made a video of it and just posted it on YouTube:

Jason. Congrats on the success of your film. I gave you a tour of Skidmore College in 1994 when you were looking at schools. I think you came for a semester and then promptly transfered. I'm sorry. It seems like you're doing just fine so I should be able to sleep at night. Keep up the good work.

Hey Jason,

I interviewed you the other week in NY. To refresh your memory- http://backstagelive.groupee.com/displayvideo/content/64604651163419407

I'm still waiting for that blog shout out from you and Diablo.

Well done. I never go to movies on a Saturday night but this was worth it. Absolutely amazing. I laughed, I cried- well you know. I called all my friends on the way home to tell them to see it. Bravo!

It's absolutely astounding that you do not have more comments. and well, that a person cannot leave their link or e-mail or anything on here. Welcome to anon5000. The way the internet was meant to be.

Please, use your Director's Magic Wand to bring this film to my town. I'll hold up my end of the deal by getting a lot of people there. I promise. There is no end in sight to the trite stuff coming to Showplace 12. Please?

Nice camerawork Dan. And of course, the movie was outstanding. Sure to be one of this years brightest spots.
