Good to see that Diablo Cody isn't overly discouraged by the mixed reception of Jennifer's Body. She's obviously an original and talented writer, and I am interested to see more of her work in the future.
ReplyDeleteagreed...i've greatly enjoyed everything she's written, just her screenplays rely on good direction, and when she gets it, the project is Juno...etc
ReplyDeleteExactly. I loved Juno. Comparing Reitman and Page to Kusama and Fox is no contest whatsoever.
