Diablo Cody Takes Us to Cafe Triste
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 10:35 AM on April 3, 2008
Oh cruel fate, to learn today that Ellen Page was one deleted musical scene away from certain Oscar victory. Thankfully, the kind people at Amazon have righted the sitch (man, we're getting Diablo'd just thinking about it), offering the Cafe Triste "Jub Jub" (not to be confused with the Ewok's "Yub Nub") song as a sneak peek at Juno's DVD special content.

In a moment so genuinely awkward that adorably awkward Michael Cera looks almost uncomfortably awkward living it, our knocked-up heroine sings the grrl power anthem about baby batter, dances, and tic tacs to an empty coffeehouse. Watch and we think you'll agree: had the Academy gotten their hands on this one, we would have been treated to a deadpan Page acceptance speech (did she mean there are truly angels in this city, or was that ironic?) and an unearthed interview on her refusal to believe in the Teapot Dome scandal.
Triste news for Page, but for Cody, the timing couldn't be better — the studied oddness of it all is a fortunate (if accidental) response to the gauntlet thrown by Daniel Waters earlier today, no?

@Mel Gibstein: ROTJ suffered the worst from Lucas' recuts, especially the axing of the "Yub Nub" song. It's so goddamn triumphant!

If not for the presence of those actors, I would assume this is yet another snarky Juno piss-take.

Are you then telling me that the ending crescendo is not just "nub na nuh na nub, NUB NUB!"?
All these years of singing it that way, lost.
Agreed, though, that new world music version is not the way I'd want to celebrate the end of the empire.

More nerd police: "fortuitous" means "accidental."

I don't know how the hell I forgot this, but when everyone was going "You men, you just hate Diablo because she was a stripper," I forgot to say "What about Miranda July? She was a stripper AND a good screenwriter, and I loved her movie."

It's got a good beat, but it's hard to dance to. I give it a "7."

@regisgoat: Everyone who's "anyone" that's lived in the NW has the title of "former stripper" on their resume. It's like a total rite of passage in those parts.
