Screenwriting tips from Diablo Cody

Opinion posted over a year ago
Juno Okay homeskillet and homeskilletettes. Before you write a movie-mov, you have to follow ten major steps.

1. Give yourself a year to write it...but don't get started until 364 days in. The dialogue will flow more naturally on the fly with eight hours and a hundred pages to go.

2. Come up with a super genius funny gimmick like I did in Juno with the barfing in Bren's urn. I was so proud of that. So so proud of it. DIDN'T YOU THINK IT WAS CLEVER?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Juno or scurvy? Does scurvy hurt?

Opinion posted over a year ago
Juno Perhaps the amazing underlying subtext of Juno is that if society treated women better and had more respect for their tastes they'd be given better things then what's on the screen to put on a pedestule. Juno has a chair placed throughout in order to make it seem artsy and deep. They never show Juno and her friend being sold Life Saver dots and being told they're acid, which means we also don't get to see how warped and tripped out they pretend they are as a result. Juno is like a school day during a blizzard. A deflated football everyone tries to push over the goalline.

Juno is an Atrocity but GARNER WAS FLIPPING AMAZING

Opinion posted over a year ago
Juno Hi all. Juno sucks. If you want a good example of what the nice lady underneath this post says, see jackie brown or sleepaway camp. Sleepaway camp is a wonderful example of female empowerment kicking butt. It's like Munich for the weird girl. Juno would have worked alot better if Alison Janney were the focus but all the teenagers would have stayed from it. Lots of good parts in Juno but they're wasted. Lots of good OBSERVATIONS in Juno...and they're wasted.

Forget juno. Anyone could have written it. Watch how Diablo Cody wants more then anything to make the "dream big!" point--...
