...debates about teenage pregnancy, it's fun to meet a girl for whom being pregnant is a) kind of, like, a huge drag but also weirdly interesting and b) a chance to, you know, find some folks who want a baby and hand one over. That young woman is Juno MacGuff, a misfit teen with a plucky, distinctive view on life (she finds prospective adoptive parents in a supermarket circular) and an idiosyncratic vocabulary to go with it (she refers to her fetus as a "sea monkey").

And the Juno-winning singer-songwriter, whose last album, We Were Born in a Flame, went platinum in Canada, talks intelligently about his music's purpose. He tries to capture "human ideas and human failings," he says--and casually uses words like "destitute" when talking about his themes. "I love albums," he says, because he feels they represent...
Marlowe’s script adheres closely to Virgil’s original text in the Aeneid, beginning with the political and sexual squabbles of the Olympian gods in the aftermath of the Trojan War, in which Venus, mother of Aeneas, favored the Trojans while Juno aided the Greeks...
