Ok, it’s not a video per se, but that final scene in “Juno,” where Michael Cera and Ellen Page sweetly sing the Moldy Peaches’ “Anyone Else But You” to each other? Well, the song has become such a phenomeneon, that Fox Searchlight has submitted it as a video to MTV.
Shit is really blowing up. It’s basically comepletely revived the Peaches’ and Kimya Dawson’s career – She and her Peaches partner Adam Green are going to appear on “The View” for Christ’s sake – and the album has moved up the SoundScan album charts to #3, just under a little band called Radiohead. Dawson was supposed to appear on Conan O’Brien too, but decided she didn’t want to cross any picket lines.
Director Jason Reitman must be pleased as punch to see how the music is fueling the movie and vice versa. Ah, synergy. “Juno” was made for $2.5 million and has so-far racked up almost $74 million in domestic box-office reciepts. It’s doing killer business. We’d stop writing about this film/soundtrack like some of have asked us to, but it like a balloon, it just keeps going up and up and up; it’s a bonafide hit.
As her career blows-up however, Dawson is trying to remain level-headed. “We’re not about to move and start drinking weird imported water” she told Variety. “Maybe I’ll take the [‘Juno’] royalties and start a college fund for the baby.”
a little late on this one…but i finally saw “There will be blood” last night. and wow, the soundtrack was awesome. it made the film 20x more suspensful and maybe even more interesting. not since, the third man’s zither have i been so captivated by the soundtrack.
