I couldn't agree more. She's a one-trick pony who got lucky with "Juno" in having insanely good casting. If one sits down and reads the script of "Juno," it's quickly apparent how terribly overwritten and unreal it is. It was saved by the brilliance of the four main actors Page, Cera, Bateman, and Garner, the last of whom showed that she has an amazing ability with subtlety and has been underutilized in most of her roles.

If anyone has ever read Diablo Cody's columns in Entertainment Weekly, it's clear that she is a complete and utter moron. She professes a love for shows from the morally abhorrent "Gossip Girl" to the vacant "Sweet Valley High." She tries to pass this off as a sort of funky intellectual kitsch, but it's not. No posing in the guise of intellectual slumming can justify an affinity for "Gossip Girl"; it's the moral equivalent of being titillated by "Triumph of the Will."

More to the point, her writing is abysmal and her taste is obscene. "Jennifer's Body" was one of the worst movies I have seen in the last decade. It was merely an exploitation vehicle for Megan Fox to once again distract people from her wooden acting by revealing her body. Unlike "Mean Girls" or "Heathers," a group into which Cody so desperately and transparently wants to insert this work, there is no commentary, satire, or irony to be found. The film is a piece of utter trash; "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
