Okay... I'm a really shitty blogger. I'm an absentee blogger. I doubt any one reads this webpage anymore. Why bother. Posting eveyr three months isn't exactly how it's supposed to work. That said, I have gone back over the last few months and created bite sized posts on everything that has happened. All my crazy travels. It's not as detailed as usual, but perhaps that's for the better. If you like, go back to the London post and read your way up to here and you'll be completely caught up.
The most important piece of news is my new movie - "Juno"
It was a hot spec script a year ago when Brad Silberling jumped on board to direct. I’ll be completely honest - At the time, I was really jealous. I loved the script. But, a few weeks ago, he parted ways with the film and I have been given the shot.
The story follows a sixteen year old girl who gets pregnant, but decides not to have an abortion. The movie follows her relationship with the two parents that decide to adopt the unborn child. The dialogue is simply delicious and it’s as good a script as I’ve ever read. Can’t wait to start shooting.
It was written by a woman named Diablo Cody who is quite the blogger (much better than I am). I would name her website, but it’s rather vulgar. In fact, the story goes that the guy who discovered the script stumbled on her website while searching for porn. I’m sure you can google your way there in a few seconds.
Updates as they come in. Hope to be shooting by Fall. Wish me luck.
Jason; I'm a neighbor to your folks and watched TYFS with my kids over Thanksgiving and was so impressed with the prophetic dimension of your dialogue. If you are in town sometime, I'd love to buy you coffee and pick your brain.

CNTV kid here. Had your uncle as a prof, what a trip. Loved your film, although in deepest irony it inspired my boyfriend to try smoking so he'd feel "cooler" while writing for class. Thanks a lot ;)

Thank you for Smoking was the funniest movie in years. Great cast. Great work! I have to come back to this site once in awhile to hear the music and the one liners when the DVD is not handy. Makes my day.

This is an awesome movie. The irony, along with the great performance makes this a top 10. In fact I saw
