I thought his joke about Page was harmless and done for a laugh. Nothing more. I also think he sounds like way more of a valley girl than I ever imagined him to be unscripted.

@judithvansteppes: @maggiemerc:
Exactly. While she could very well know who Jane Fonda is, that still doesn't mean the comment (if it was even said by her) wasn't taken out of context or said to someone who understood she was just being sarcastic/deadpan. The kid's been through a lot of BS in the last few months. Cut her some slack. Most of the time when people say she comes off "pretentious" or whatevs I always kind of think she comes off as someone who's pretty intelligent and just reacting to people constantly talking at her like she's a halfwit pixie. I give her props for not spouting off with "Are you honestly asking me about the tar pits? Fuck you." more often.

Something tells me Page is too young to even know who Jane Fonda is, unless she and her girlfriend watch '9 to 5' more often than they should the way I do.
Ellen Page is just too young to be judged for these interactions- what if she was tired and wanted to go home? What if she was distracted by a tray of tofu or a cute girl in plaid? Just because she's precocious doesn't mean she's perfect; the girl is as green as can be. At her age she should be forgetting to wear underpants and discovering coke.

There are things I find insipid about her, but if she doesn't give a fuck about Jane Fonda and says so, I can't fault her for it. I mean, my context for Jane Fonda is just "The traitor lady who did the workout tape who the Republicans mention whenever it's time to flog the dessicated remains of Vietnam one more time." I guess she won some awards for playing torture Tiddlywinks with John McCain or whatever they did before the internet? Whatevs, If Ellen Page wants to adopt the whole "punk" aesthetic the least she can do is be acerbically indiffernt to her elders.

until then, the mere fact that she's evading whatever fame she's entitled to does by no means make her interesting (to me).

Or so I like to think.

@saintestella: Oh, plenty of people have plenty of reasons to hate Jane Fonda for her various activities running the gamut from aerobics to V.C., but her acting talent is not one I've ever heard bitched out before. I mean, she was nominated for the Oscar six times, won 'em twice, is part of the Fonda acting clan and was in "9 to 5" which is basically enough for me.

Generally speaking, no matter what field you're in, the 20 year old newbie really doesn't get to tell the 70 year old veteran to fuck off.

@Benny: Well, that was my recollection -- I didn't re-watch.

But it is almost unthinkable that an actor would even sort-of-maybe slam another actor while hyping the film they're both in -- combine it with the blind item above, and I think a pretty clear read-between-the-lines story emerges.

I have no bone to pick with Page other than that her handlers are idiots for allowing her to keep playing teens post-Juno -- the best thing Scarlett Johanssen ever did for herself was refusing to play young after Ghost World.

That's not exactly correct GingerVitis. He was talking about that morning doing interviews with her. Smart People was shot early last year, and now post Juno she's far less innocent. It did sound like a bit of a pot shot MAYBE, but it's not as you said. Anyways it's all in the clip above.

I guess THC and Page had worked together prior to Juno, and now they're both in Smart People, so Jimmy asked about her, and THC was all, "she was such a cute little Canadian kid in [WHATEVER], but now she tells everyone else on the set what to do -- stand there, be on time, etc."

He played it as "isn't it cute she's become a professional," but it was pretty obviously "Jesus Christ, this kid is an asshole."

Watching, I was surprised -- she must REALLY be a piece of work for a costar to take a swipe like that while hyping the goddamn movie.

Oh please. People are just hating on Page because she's secure and popular. And I'm pretty sure Juno wasn't a one time deal. I mean she and Ben Foster were the only good things about X-Men 3 and she was wicked awesome in Hard Candy. So she's a foul mouthed diva for a few months after being nominated for an Oscar. Let her have it. Her next movie will bomb, she'll do some smaller cute role and everyone will love her again.
