1. Really, try to do what she does. For 1 hour.
2. Imagine doing what she does coming from where she came from.
3. She has been gifted with being in the top 1% of any creative, intellectual, world. It’s called talent.
4. Rent Amadeus and see this story and how it has played out for hundreds of years.
5. Admit it, she has talent and balls to go out there and get what she has dreamed of while facing down the biggest block of all. Self worth.
6. This isn’t something she could be taught, nor was she shown how. She did it all herself.
7. She is a power of example and leads us to the permission to follow our own dreams.
8. Now we have to come up with the drive and work ethic… and hope to God we can back it up with talent.
She has every right to say what she wants. They had the right and said what they wanted about her.
Ms. Cody, thank you for your spirit.

The first 15-20 minutes of Juno were annoying, I admit. It improved immeasurably after that (once she told her father and stepmother that she was knocked up). I don’t know if it was helpful or not to respond to the haters, but the rant was well-written and entertaining, so I have to say, “You go, girl!”

i don’t know if it was ellen page herself that was so annoying or her lines. either way she drove me nuts during that movie.
i wanted to think highly of cody but her entertainment weekly articles were in fact unreadable.

As much as I think that Juno and Diablo are overrated, her “I was jamming toxic silicon toys up my ass for money” line was classic.

I refuse to take anyone with a stripper name seriously.

My boyfriend and I both looked at each other about 15 minutes into Juno, like, “Are you into this right now? Should we continue?”. I’m glad we did cause after awhile the movie kind of grew on me. I still cry every time I hear “Sea of Love” by CatPower.

She’s a pretty talented writer, although somewhat annoying. Good for her for sticking up for herself, however long it took her.

Once in a blue moon I wonder if I should try once a again to make it all the way through Juno, but now I think my decision to turn it off after 15 minutes was a good one. I was in a room full of people excited to see it and when finally someone suggested it was shite, every single person expressed relief. Her response is sort of entertaining here, but I don’t “get” her. Oh well.
