The Circuit

"Juno" will close the Bahamas International Film Fest as it continues to stomp across the festival circuit like a untouched heavyweight champ, ready for fight night on its December 5 release.  Since Searchlight has been squeezing all it can from "Juno's" success at these fests, it'll be something to see how that translates to the box office.

Not sure if she'll be there, but I think the film's screenwriter, Diablo Cody, needs this Bahamas break, if it turns out to be a break at all.  She sounds tired on her Pussy Ranch blog.  Strange stuff keeps happening on the circuit, which she dutifully reports.  Recently, at the Austin Film Fest, she and "Juno" director Jason Reitman uncover a "mint" pair of boxers next to four packaged Magnum condoms in a hotel room drawer.  They are left to piece together what happened, or "what didn't happen."  Cody's theory:

The Lodger is a UT Austin student with limited sexual experience. He procured a room at the Driskill in the hopes of surprising/seducing his new girlfriend, but he's self-conscious about his somewhat heavyset body. The (hypothetical) postcoital nude trek from bed to bathroom proved daunting, so he stashed a precautionary pair of boxers in the nightstand. That way, he could slide into them immediately after sex and stride to the john in style, modesty intact. Now, the purpose of the condoms is obvious. Unfortunately, none were used. The sex never went down

This is how I unwind, people.
