Fresh off 'Juno,' -- (which earned her best original screenplay) -- 'Diablo Cody's post-Oscar decided it was time to make a horror flick.
"I was just experimenting with several scripts," said Cody (LA Times) -- who's also working on a Showtime show -- 'The United States of Tara,' and the script for the college comedy "Girly Style."
"I did not think this would be my follow-up to 'Juno.' But I don't know if I will ever write [another] highbrow, artsy movie."
'Oscars Curse looming? -- 'Cody tried to get her Oscar out of her mind -- and eyesight. "I literally put it away -- under my bathroom sink with the toilet paper," she said. "It was difficult to look at. I wanted to think of something else."
On being a former blogger, she rants: "I'm a 30-year-old woman with a dwindling interest in blog culture, and I don't have time to address this bulls--- every time one of my projects comes out. I'm in love, I just bought a house, and my boss made E.T. I kind of have to focus on reality." --(via her myspace page).
In response to haters she added -- 'I am not Charlie Kaufman or Sofia Coppola (much as I supplicate at their Cannes-weary feet.)...'
'I am middle-class trash from the Midwest. I'm a competent nonfiction writer, an admittedly green screenwriter, and a product of Hollywood, USA. I am "Diablo Cody" and if you're not a fan, go rent Prospero's Books again and leave me the fuck alone.'
'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.'
Ouch, this rant does sound a bit like someone has a bit of that sophmore pressure rested on her shoulders. Take it easy and keep doing what you do...'lifes too short to focus on the negative stuff, eh?
'Enjoy the rest of your 11 minutes of fame and go out with a smile...
