Secrets of the City

And a piece on Cody’s use of language in her film Jennifer’s Body that makes the parody seem unnervingly accurate.

Eh, it was sort of funny.

But hating on Diablo Cody is boring here and that much more boring coming from outta town.

Well, I’d suggest skipping over threads such as this and looking for ones that you don’t find dull.

Actually… I think the DC braying sycophants are even more boring than the rest of the lot. Fact: her column in the back of EW is garbage and Juno was uber over-rated, homeslice.

*wipes tears of laughter from eyes*

That was amazingly funny and hits the nail RIGHT on the head. Thanks for posting it.

That CC2K piece really makes a lot of sense. I’d much prefer us being over-exaggerated Minnesotans like the Coen brothers did, vs the “Let’s use slang from the 1980s” that Cody does.

the first paragraph summed up perfectly why i hated 80% of juno. yet i thoroughly enjoyed the other 20%. odd.

Quotey name drops The Unicorns.

we’re the Unicorns,
we’re more than horses,
we’re the unicorns,
and we’re people too!

Wow. I expected lame and got awesomeness.

brilliant.

Mr. Belvedere? Really? Family Guy has been going to the Mr Belvedere for like 4 seasons now. I didn’t really think that was that funny. It’s sort of what DC would write without the actual insight or humor.

Hatin’ is never boring, if done right.

Will I have to have read anything she’s written or seen Juno to get this one? Because I haven’t done either of those things.

I think you just need an general appreciation for smug hipsters.

Enh, I don’t have that either. Oh well.

Sorry, guys, that comment was just pure trolling, so I excised it, and to keep this thread making sense, had to edit comments as well.

Oh, man, I’m sorry I missed that one! I need to update more often.

@max – I guess the only thing better than someone pouring their heart and soul into a dissertation of sweeping generalizations is seeing it disappear with one fell swoop.

Diablo Cody seems to bring out the crazy in people.

and to keep this thread making sense, had to edit comments as well.

Since when was making sense part of a MNspeak thread?

“Mrs. Parber, I want my third nipple! I want it now, you insufferable woman!!!”

You can have mine, bob…

My third nipple really just looks more like a discolored mark. But I can still use it to nurse stray kittens back to life.

Meow.

Can you use it to tell fortunes at the dirt mall, Max?

Yes. It’s where I do my kitten rescues.

I knew it. Max is a dirty gypsy. He’s gonna use the kittens he saves for some gypsy curse…

My third nipple really just looks more like a discolored mark. But I can still use it to nurse stray kittens back to life.

Eww. I’m simultaneously grossed out “to the max” and laughing hysterically.

Did I miss the hard left turn this thread took?

That dirt mall is outside Monticello. I bought a rad Blue Oyster Cult t-shirt there. It was about as soft as a Kleenex but not as durable or absorbent.

You Know, A Long Time Ago Being Crazy Meant Something. Nowadays, Everybody’s Crazy. Look out for the crazy lady with a script, oh nooes. Gotta love being entertained albeit for a short while.

When is Diablo’s husband going to come out to defend her vehemently?

Her husband? Ain’t you heard? She dumped his ass. She’s on to bigger and better things… (So much for the “Stripper with a Heart of Gold”)

I see Something Awful lies behind that particular spoof. When they’re on form, I do enjoy Something Awful something awfully. However even though between Lowtax and his minions, stone throwing has been elevated to a technical art not unakin to medieval siege engineering, Lowtax himself lives in a splendid palace made constructed from fragile handblown glass, hyper-sweaty asocial foot fetishist that he is.

It is said that he doesn’t enjoy the away game nearly so much.

Teucer FTW!

Though the castle sounds pretty we’re all taught to avoid it’s colloquial manifestation.
