Emily, thanks for the links. Just read "Juno" from your link to "Fox Searchlight."
ReplyDeleteDiablo does write interesting dialog, and overall her story is intesting. But I don't like the place and resolutions she takes her character to. (I'm of a MUCH more conservative mindset)
BUT, with that said, I see so much of you, Emily, when I read Diablo Cody's "Juno" prodcution script. Maybe you should try to write a drama? Read the script. Get inspired.
Love and kisses,

I liked Juno. I read it on the plane and I laughed out loud at many of the scenes. I'm not very conservative. Quite the opposite.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the constant support, but I love what I write and the way I write. I don't really have any desire to copy someone else. I am pretty happy with the choices I make on my own.
Have your read Diablo Cody's other screenplay, Jennifer's Body? It's a girl's horror movie that utilizes lots of "tampon humor." I thought Juno was a stronger screenplay, but you might get a kick out of it.
ReplyDeleteO thats so exciting! Now I can recite them all in my room and pretend to be the superstar actress that I am.
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to decide which Blacklist script to read next. I'll make it Jennifer's Body. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get ahold of the blacklist scripts? Care to help a brother out and hook me up?
ReplyDeleteRight place right time.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't give you all of them. There's too many. But if you email me and let me know a particular script you want I can email you the PDF.
any chance you'd be willing to upload the blacklist scripts into Google Docs? then they'd be available to anyone...
ReplyDeleteThat's a LOT of scripts, guys. It would be a major pain in my ass to upload them all.
ReplyDeleteI'll look into it but don't hold your breath. I barely have time to eat right now.
Where do you get the Black List scripts? Easy--
ReplyDeleteSo I hocked my Smith-Corona
and I went to meet my man
he hangs out down on Alvarado Street
by the Pioneer Chicken stand
He'll fix you right up, man.
B (and I think I'm sinkin' down...)
Oh, I love that song. Warren Zevon. Yoakum does a good version.
ReplyDeleteCarmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Nothin' like a good junkie song...
