Viva Diablo

.

I know that a lot of people dislike Diablo Cody. They find her writing overly mannered and her real-life persona grating. Well, a lot of people are stupid wrong filthy beasts that I hate too, so it all falls out in the end. I'm super excited to hear this news anyway, via Variety:

"Diablo Cody is getting behind the camera for the first time, helming "Lamb of God" for Mandate from a script she wrote.

... Laffer will follow the story of a young religious woman who loses her faith after a plane crash and decides to go to Las Vegas to live the life of a sinner but finds her way back to her faith."

God, the word "laffer" makes me want to scratch my eyes out. Anyway! Cody also offered up some more info on her Tumblr once the announcement was made, including this bit which only underlines why I like her so very much:

"I know the new thing online is for everyone to be really mumbly and self-deprecating. If you don’t pretend like you hate yourself and your life, everyone thinks you’re a terrible asshole. But I’m going to take a risk right now and put this out there:

1. I am pleased with this new opportunity.

2. It feels good."

Congratulations, lady!
