The One-Page Screenplay: Diablo Cody's Father Approved
Welcome back to Movieline's One-Page Screenplay project: the only place in the universe serving up single-page masterpieces from Hollywood's top screenwriters. You think one-page screenwriting is easy? It's a lot harder than it looks. They say that if you can't capture the audience's interest by the first syllable, you've already lost the game.
Not that that's a problem for this week's superstar contributor. Perusing our growing catalog, I was struck by a lack of two things: 1. Female voices, and 2. Oscar™ winners. Well, I'm thrilled to announce that today's entry remedies both of those issues, and quite spectacularly so. That's right, ladies and gentleman: You know her as Juno's life-giver, the great emancipator of The United States of Tara, the one, the only, Diablo Cody!

At the end, I would've had the professor smile instead of coach, but I enjoyed it.
She's right about Kix. So right.
I dunno...i've enjoyed the others more. Perhaps it's because, at their core, semiotics professors just aren't all that interesting.
What? No name-checking Grizzly Bear or Sonic Youth? Fraud.
Not bad...for a girl.
After surveying Diablo's MySpace Bio,, I suddenly realized we have way more in common than I ever thought possible.
OK, really just the same occupations. Still surprising.
Obviously Diablo hasn't done her research (again). Kix ARE sweet these days. General Mills changed their recipe YEARS ago to compete with other sugar-sweet cereals.
You're assuming that it's set in a more current timeline... *eyeroll*
That was pretty funny. And she looks HOT in that picture!
That's about the best picture you've ever taken - whatever it is you're doing that makes your eyes open up like that - do more of it.
Cheers.
I was distracted by the inconsistencies of the spelling of "Carole".
