Sounds like someone has their own issues of racism and sexism to deal with. Why would a woman talk about her past in the sex industry? To get everyone's attention and make them horny. “old, white, and male…”

In fact she's doing quite the opposite. I do not think it was the best screenplay of the year, but I do think it was a good one. While it's unfortunate that some critics may be swayed by Cody's sex appeal, it also doesn't seem fair to dismiss a fine first screenplay based only on the way she plays to the press.

She wrote an entire book about stripping and she brings it up at the drop of a hat. Check out her recent interview on NPR's Fresh Air. They spend about twenty minutes on stripping and ten on Juno. I myself conducted the most chaste interview imaginable with her and she still gave a wink-wink answer to my legit question of whether or not her status as a celebrity screenwriter allows her to avoid dealing with The Man, i.e. studio bosses. "I'm good with the Man," she purred. "Just bat your eyes and blow in his ear." Yes, Lou Limenick wants to bang her. So do I. She's a very attractive 29 year-old girl and a former sex worker. I wouldn't say that makes anyone praise Juno. If Juno sucked, Lou's unfortunate compulsion to send wolf-whistles through his blog could easily be transmogrified into something like "I can't say Juno deserved a place in the top ten, but I sure had a great time hanging out with erstwhile stripper Diablo Cody."

I don't think I've read a single Diablo Cody-related article where they haven't referenced her past career; it's an automatic suffix to her newfound fame, and it sure would be nice to jettison that part and simply focus on her talents, whatever the article-writer imagines those to be. Not sure if your site registers these kinds of trackback links, but I've featured your post today in my sidebar (in the "From the brains of other bloggers" box).
