I may have won 19 awards that you don’t feel I earned, but it’s neither original nor relevant to slag on Juno. Really. And you’re not some bold, singular voice of dissent, You are exactly like everyone else in your zeitgeisty-demo-lifestyle pod. You are even like me. (I, too, loved Arrested Development! Aren’t we a pretty pair of cultural mavericks? Hey, let’s go bitch about how Black Kids are overrated!)
I’m sorry that while you were shooting your failed opus at Tisch, I was jamming toxic silicon toys up my ass for money. I get why you’re bitter. I took exactly one film class in college and– with the curious exception of the Douglas Sirk unit—it bored the shit out of me.
I’m sorry to all those violent, semi-literate fanboys who hate me for befriending their heroes. I can’t help it if your favorite writer, actor, director, or talk show host likes me. Maybe you would too, if we actually met.
I know my name is fake and that it annoys you. What, do you hate Queen Latifah and Rip Torn, too? Writers and entertainers have been using pseudonyms for years. Chances are, you’re spewing bile under an assumed screen name yourself. I’m sorry if you think I’m like some inked-up quasi-Suicide Girl derby cunt from 2002, but I like my fake name. It’s engraved on an Oscar. Yours isn’t.
Diablo Cody — who just earned a ton of my respect — on her MySpace blog, responding to the haters.
who is she addressing? what did I miss?
what haters?? someone specific?
Heh. She wins. I have to say I like her a lot better now that I’ve read this entry.
diablo cody is the shit…wait who is she mad at
i’m sorry she got rid of the johnnys girl part of her tattoo. i understand she broke up with the guy, but loved the original layout. candy girl was a pretty ballsy book. she’s fabulous.
I guess she told ME.
I have no idea who this woman is.
Fairest Gentle Beet:
Who bothers slogging Juno anymore? Hasn’t the blogosphere moved on to the next thing? In terms of respecting Diablo Cody for the entry: What did you expect her to say?
Diablo Cody is a very appealing person. You can tell something about her vitality from her eyes. Her movie unfortunately became a target because some people got so stinkingly effusive about it that it just begged to be creamed by the snarkier-than-thou…the correctors of public taste.
As a writer, I know that you know that Diablo Cody has a callow style…but she is clever and has a nice persona. If we’re all lucky, we’ll get to watch her evolve. If not, she’ll produce similar films and they won’t seem so thrillingly different as Juno did. They will be like The Blair Witch Project II or Alanis Morissette’s 2nd album.
I really love Ellen Page, though. Juno is a great thing for her to have on her resume…but her ultra chilling performance in Hard Candy was what I will always remember her for. I’d much rather see her fulfill that promise as an actress than keep doing what she did in Juno.
she’s cool in my book, especially since she’s wearing a Target dress.
why would anybody hate this chick?
All she had to say was “I’m sorry if you think I’m like some inked-up quasi-Suicide Girl derby cunt from 2002, but I like my fake name. It’s engraved on an Oscar. Yours isn’t.” and she had me.
who is she pissed at…I think I love her.
Wow – she can write…. better than beet! Thats not much of a compliment though is it….

Why must she respond to the haters, it only makes her look more stupid. People are over her movie and she is simply clinging onto whatever is left of her “oscar fame”. Desperate for attention much?…..
that’s awesome, no question. =D well done, Diablo!
Wow, she really feels the need to defend herself, she almost sounds arrogant, but she’s also funny. I had no idea anybody had any problem with this woman I’ve just now heard about.
love her.
love juno.
