Rainn Wilson’s New Movie
Rainn Wilson is costarring in a new movie, Juno, scheduled for limited release in the US this weekend. It’s already premiered at several film festivals and won a couple awards. I’d go see it even if Dwight weren’t (apparently) playing a quirky coworker; it’s directed by Jason Reitman (of Thank You For Smoking fame) and also stars Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, J.K. Simmons, and Allison Janney. How could it be bad?

[Bonus indirect Office link! The TV commercial, which for some reason is hard to find on Youtube, uses the song “Be Gentle With Me” by The Boy Least Likely To. The adorable music video for that song features Rashida Jones.]

I saw Juno yesterday at a screening in CA. Wilson is only in the first few minutes, but has some pretty clever lines. The movie itself is very good - fun and meaningful at the same time. It’s definitely got a lot of grown-up humor, and our audience laughed so much I’ll probably have to see it again just to catch some of the jokes I missed!

That’s so good to hear, Jeri! I’m recruiting some of my friends and we’re checking it out as soon as we can at the local art theatre. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I really liked “Thank You For Smoking.” And NOBODY plays a “quirky co-worker” better than Rainn Wilson. And that music video featuring Rashida Jones was pretty cool, too. So… win-win-win.
