I happened to catch Reality Bites over the Thanksgiving Holiday (gosh I wish Winona didn't screw up her career...) so I guess the flick was fresh in my mind.
Then just now, I was watching the international trailer for Juno, and there's this one shot of Ellen Page (pictured below) where my screwed up brain said, "Whoa... she, she... she looks like Ethan Hawke from Reality Bites!" So, I've been digging around the interwebs, and while I can't find a great picture to match where my head was, I found some that might be close. Thoughts? Am I completely nuts?!?

Take Ethan's hair from the first picture, and put it on the second picture where he's doing the eyebrows thing, and I think we've got ourselves another Ellen Page. Maybe. With facial hair.
Please note that I don't mean this as an insult to Ellen (or Ethan) in the slightest, and I cannot wait for Juno to come out. Maybe it was even her tone of "Go Carol," that sounded like Ethan being a smart ass to Ben Stiller's character that triggered it for me. Still, I think I'm onto something here... no idea what though.
One of my all time favorite movie quotes is from Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites when he says "I'm bursting with fruit flavor."
Classic.
