Devil in the back

Diablo Cody is my new writing hero; she wrote a hell of screenplay that made for a great film and and netted an Oscar, too. Personally, I could care less if she was a stripper.

She might just prove to be the Shane Black of the aughties. Edgy, super-smart and capable of pumping out quality stories, Diablo has an eye for unforgettable characters. What Shane Black was to dick-lit–he created the Lethal Weapon series–Diablo does for coming of age. And she does it damn well.

There’s a lot more to come. She has two other script sales and a development deal with Showtime. Nice.
