I never really comment on stuff, but felt the need to after the stupid comments from peeps who are blatantly freaktarded.
To start with Diablo is a total bettie, and she's wicked smart to boot.
Juno + Jennifer's Body are totally wasted on arrogant film snobs, you suck guys and girls, nobody wants to hear you blast stuff that wasn't aimed at you, i'm sure there is an abundance of pretentious cinema out there for you to squawk you beaks at, leave Diablo alone, she's cooler than you can ever hope to be :p Read More

Bangin' has been in the American lexicon for years. As has Cum Dumpster. "For shizz" was actually coined by the rapper Snoop Dogg. And grassy-ass? That's been said by elementary school kids learning Spanish for decades. This article does two things: first, prove that the insane media love for Diablo Cody is not only unwarranted but additionally unchecked; and second, that when it comes to neologisms, Diablo Cody is no Shakespeare.

There's nothing worse than film snobs...people thinking they're better and cooler than everyone else because they're so far above films like Juno! Kindly shut up with your complaining...if you don't like the article..don't read it! It says what it's about on the main page...so just don't bother clicking on it! Go about your lives, like whatever films you choose to like and stop bashing the films that didn't meet your standards! Be film fans and let others be film fans but don't be film snobs!!
ou just proved you are as bad as us so called film snobs, look on any thread here and you'll find divided opinions. I know it must be scary for you when people do that as you are a 'film fan' and above all that. Defender of the honour of film fans everywhere! Up yours i'll say what i please as will you, i didn't die in the Falklands for bums like you to take away my freedom of speech.

invent your own lexicon and have a shelf life of five minutes, unless you're anthony burgess. which you are not, ms cody. 2 types of slang on display here: outdated, and embarassing self conscious faux-trendy bollocks. since we're all sharing, i don't hate her name as much as i do her terrible terrible mid-90s post-ironic kevil williamson writing. juno is just one of those inde flicks that people who don't know much about film adore. and critics of a certain age. Empire, here's one for your code: Fool's gold.

I think a good part of this might genuinely be it is a writer who tries so hard to come up with 'unique' phraseology - and when it can't hang on to a decent script or story - as is the case with Jennifer's Body - it goes down like the proverbial lead balloon. There is no personality from the director or performances (bar Brody) in this film - so Cody is front and centre for the flak.
sp;
The problem is that it does go beyond that. It's not just with Jennifer's Body, this was for Juno too and a hell of a lot of the abuse was focused on calling her a whore because she used to be a stripper. Some of the comments on Oscar sites when she won were as hateful as the comments towards PSH from hardcore Brokeback fans when he won. Read More

You maybe don't read the right sites?

...How this slutwaffle won an oscar for best screenplay, considering the script was one of the weakest things in that totally pieballs film, is freaktarded. Jennifer's Body looks dreadful and is definitely not giving me a wettie. Hopefully this will be proven on release (that its dreadful, not that I don't have a wettie), and thus put halt to this twunts "writing" career. Look, I made up a slang word all of my own! Ain't I clever? The answer is no.
y. Fuckin'. Hero. Well said. High five! No wait how about 'High Five' Said in a sarcastic way in an annoying nasal American tone so tweens will get hard nipples and treat my shitty screenplays like the second coming and i can get an oscar too. Cooolidge, wow check out the hip slang. Bollocks.

ot to mention grassy-ass! .... GRASSY-ASS! For crying out loud that's been used by almost everyone, the world over, who's ever heard somebody say gracias.
Was it wrong of me though, when I heard donut, i thought she was referring to anal sex? It's just when I heard that I thought of a ring donut. although a jam donut would hardly be better.
Anyway, Jennifer's body was a terrible film. Far too self consciously hip to be anything other than a very cliched horror film.

Yeah, the Blair Witch thing always bugged me too, although it IS possible that a nine year old would have seen Blair Witch, particularly one as "savvy" as Juno, so I can let that one slide. BUT there are other mistakes in there that bug the crap out of me- like that "no it's Morgan Freeman, do you have any bones that need collecting?" ,a reference to The Bone Collector which starred Denzel Washington and NOT morgan freeman, a mistake which if I made to my firends would be greeted with the mock replies of "oooh, they all look the same to you ,dont they?".Even worst was during the delivery scene where Juno shouts "thundercats are go!", where it should be either "Thundercats-HO!" or "ThunderBIRDS are go!". I really enjoyed the film but Im really surprised Cody hasnt been called on these in an interview-you would think maybe one person on the crew would have pointed them out. Ach, maybe Im just an annoying nitpicker. Or maybe the mistakes are there to indicate that Juno isnt as smart as sRead More

Normally, I can't stand it when people use forums for baseless moaning rants, but I feel that there are a couple of things that need to be pointed out about this feature.
1.) I haven't actually seen Jennifer's Body yet, so I don't know if the line features in it or not, but I do know that "Your eggo is preggo, no doubt about it!" was FIRST uttered by Rainn Wilson's shopkeeper in Juno, not J.B.
2.) Are you sure that you have defined Homeskillet correctly? I always thought it referred to trying something at home that perhaps you shouldn't be doing. Although personally, I don't see it as a problem to be making love to Ellen Page on a lounge chair - she's hot!!
3.) The FIG 5. sketch looks less like R-Patz and more like Matthew Perry with spaghetti on his head!

the thing that really irked me about juno was michael cera stating that rather than have sex, they could have watched blair witch, cause juno claimed not to have seen it since it came out in the cinema.
now juno was 16, blair witch came out in '99, so she saw it in the cinema when she was approx 9 (at best).
while i enjoyed the movie, there seemed to be a lot of stuff that didn't make sense for a 16 year old protagonist.
