Sorry, I thought I was replying to a JB article. I just read the article above and I don’t see anything that is a personal attack or makes us hypocrites (so nice of you to say that).

I have absolutely no problems with ScreenRant covering Jennifer’s Body (and hey, I’m not egotistical enough to believe my opinion somehow counts here) but Sweet Valley High? That is most definitely not the normal SR movie demographic is it?

This article is about SVH not JB. The only reason I can see for this being here is to mention Cody and how much the writer doesn’t like her and the sarky little quotes from Juno at the bottom reinforce that impression.

For a site that allows no profanity or personal attacks in its posts this article seems (hypocritically) like one big personal attack. I could understand if she’d just directed Deadpool as a musical rom-com and was pitching to re-envisage JLA as a Dogme piece but she didn’t/hasn’t/won’t (unless the musical numbers are good ).

Pieces like this just reinforce/regurgitate unnecessary crap. Just my opinion for what its worth (about $0.0001 in today’s exchange rates).

Normal demographic? It was marketed as a horror movie (we cover those), it has Megan Fox (no explanation required), and believe it or not, women do read this site – I don’t have some sort of female-blocking mechanism in place here.

Oh man please nobody compare Diablo Cody to Quentin Tarantino! I get what your saying, but don’t do her the honor of matching their names in a sentence.

I liked Juno. Very good movie and good script.

But I have to ask… why is this news covered on ScreenRant? It’s not the normal demographic, not even on the fringes. What purpose does this announcement serve for the site? Just an excuse to bash Cody (as half the article does) or chick-flicks?

Point.
Less.

I liked Juno. I have not seen Jennifer’s Body (Megan Fox makes me puke).

I remember a Sweet Valley High tv series from when I was a kid; I didn’t watch it much, though.

(shrug) I’ll watch the trailer and read reviews before I decide I want to see it, if it even gets made.

This is pretty much Diablo’s (style). She’s the Quentin Tarrantino of female empowerment,,,

Give a girl some awards and this is what happens,,,
Her films do nothing for me,,,
