Angela Chase: "When You Call Someone's Name, Like, Kind Of Loud And They Don't Hear You, It Makes You Feel Really Lonely."

Juno was released on DVD today, and as FourFour's Rich brilliantly points out, teenage heroine Angela Chase of My So-Called Life is the anti-Juno. While Juno reveled in her own quirkiness and established individuality — something that is rare, if not nonexistent among teens — Angela dealt with the desperation of "fitting in" and over-thinking every situation in an attempt to try to figure out who the hell she was. Her efforts led to introspective voiceovers that are as hilarious as they are wise: "I thought at least by age 15, I would have a love life. But I don't even have a like life" and "The thought that I might be seeing Jordan Catalano in a few hours was, like, impossible to comprehend. Like when they first tell you about infinity." "It's so weird that teachers actually, like, live places." Clip above.

Literary Ladies Look Thirty Years Younger With The Right Makeover

We always agreed with Angela Chase on My So-Called Life when she described Anne Frank as "lucky." Angela's English teacher asks her, "How could Anne Frank be lucky?" and Angela responds, "'Cause she was stuck in an attic for three years with this guy she really liked." That's the part of Anne Frank that people should be focusing on, not all that dreary, depressing Holocaust and death stuff. This month, Radar Magazine agrees with us, giving the bland, old Anne Frank cover a sexy new makeover! After the jump, check out the other fab makeover Radar gives to Holocaust bummer Sophie's Choice. Sophie might have to choose between her children, but she doesn't have to choose an outdated aesthetic!

Angela Chase Always Says Awesome Shit

When I was a sophomore in high school, and My So-Called Life was on TV, I was way wrapped up in the whole Jordan Catalano romance thing. But it wasn't until I started watching the show again on DVD (the box set, which I highly recommend) that I've gotten really into Angela's voiceovers; they're wonderful. Like this: "Like cheerleaders...Can't people just cheer on their own? To themselves?" Or this: "When Rayanne Graff told me that my hair was holding me back, I had to listen. Because she wasn't just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life." And totally this one, from the clip above: "I cannot bring myself to eat a well balanced meal in front of my mother. It just means too much to her."
