Since no one seems to share max’s taste in art, nothing like Diablo Cody to fire a thread up! The reviews on “Juno” are coming in, and they are very good news for Ms. D’s first sceenplay.
New York Times
MTV
USA Today

The snow/towing thing had kinda played itself out, I wanted to shut bud up, and I ran out of cute bat photos.
Plus, Ms. DC got a homerun on her first swing of the screenwriting bat. It’s a rare thing, and we knew her “back then.”
We’ll be doing this for you someday, too, max. You got more talent than these twin cities can hold forever…

There’s even talk of a screen writing Oscar in the NYT article.
I know, because I read it this morning. I read the New York Times because I am very intelligent, culturally aware, and above all of that Star Tribune riff-raff they call “journalism”.
Sniff.

Wow. Apparently, Diablo and Jonny are officially broken up.
Now let’s never speak of this again.
7:05 pm
Lets say $100 million gross, little gold mandoes that mean, bye, bye Jonny?
WHAT? Are you kidding? Thats a ridiculous question. Like, hes sitting right here. Hes not going anywhere. Everything we do we do side by side. Ive got him tattooed on my arm for gods sakes.
Not going to happen Max, especially with quotes like this in MSP mag…

Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t.

they ought to pull a white stripes and tell everyone that they are just brother and sister. Jonny is Meg, BTW.

Is this what happens with success? Seriously though. A happy successful couple nice and cozy until one hits the jackpot. Doesn’t that scare the shit out of you? Would YOU trade in the love of your life for fame?
8:54 pm
Sad.
9:01 pm
Sad indeed.
9:12 pm
Oops.

Would YOU trade in the love of your life for fame?
for fame, no way. for $$$, I’ll have to get back to you. shit…here comes my wife.

That puts a weird new complexion on this DC quote from that USA Today article which came out a couple of days ago: “For her [next]tattoo, Cody is considering everything from a subtle “J” to more abstract designs. All of them are possibilities, but Cody decides to wait, though she is resolved to get one eventually. “I have no fear. Besides, I would never regret the film. I can’t divorce Juno.”
Dang.

anybody listen to DC’s interview on Fresh Air today? Apparently Terry Gross didn’t know about the divorce, and asked her about how she met her husband. It was totally awkward. Here
