Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I saw the movie "Juno" last night, and it was absolutely adorable. It's as twee as everyone's saying it is, but it carries it off. More than this, however, the soundtrack features multiple times the best song ever to use the Contra code, The Moldy Peaches' "Anyone Else But You." Kimya Dawson provides soundtrack vocals for much of the movie, but the song is also used diegetically, in a duet between Ellen Page and Michael Cera. And Page's (Juno's) musical precocity is well established in the film world, so even though she's only 16, it's plausible that she'd know The Moldy Peaches, a group whose underground heyday was years ago.
Another nice musical touch: they introduce Michael Cera's character to the strains of The Kinks' "A Well Respected Man." I love that song.
