After the jump, I’ve got the trailer for Young Adult, the new film from Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman. A lot of people still like to sh*t on Diablo Cody, and I can kiiinda see why, but I thought her 
Theron plays Mavis Gary, a writer of teen literature who returns to her small hometown to relive her glory days and attempt to reclaim her happily married high school sweetheart (Patrick Wilson). When returning home proves more difficult than she thought, Mavis forms an unusual bond with a former classmate (Patton Oswalt) who hasn’t quite gotten over high school, either.
Lead talent upgrade notwithstanding, it kind of looks like a remake of Bad Teacher. Which is to say, I really hope Patton turns into a wizard at some point, because otherwise it looks like a whole lot of high school drama. And I get enough high school drama from the high school chicks I date.
I sometimes write Vin Diesel fan-fic under the name “Diablo Brody.”

I sometimes write Patton Oswalt fan-fic under the name “Uncle Touchy”
I sometimes write Vin Diesel fan-fic under the name “Diablo Brody.”
What a coincidence! I sometimes write Vin Diesel fan-fic under the pen name “Diablo Chodey”. Small world…
Patton Oswalt is basically the personification of a pug. I’m sorry he can’t be a corgi, Vince, but his nose would have to be a little more aquiline for that.
I own a dildo called Vince D-Cell.
That’s not a typo, BTK. It really says that on the side.
Things I would watch Charlize Theron do: any.
I thank Patton Oswalt for my inspiration when doing stand-up comedy.
I thank Charlize Theron for the majority of the erections I’ve had since the late 90s.
The header Charlize Theron has Patton Oswalt and a Small Dog might’ve made me faint. Good to know you’re above the bait and switch, Vancey.
Diablo Cody is just scene-girl version of Kevin Smith: She made one moderately interesting (re: Juno to Smith’s Clerks) and several years from now people like Him will be wondering why anyone still gives a flying forshak.
“Wu’pi doo-da! This person made a movie that was just a little different from Hollywood bullshit and was actually tolerable at the most fundamental intellectual level! It must be time to arbitrarily heap long term fame, credibility, and renown on old whatsthereface!”

Fek’lhr – I’m of the ilk that prefers Mallrats to Clerks. Is that so wrong? Plus, Cody will get fat whereas Smith has always been fat.
licsGra-When it is a “one hit wonder” it doesn’t really matter what you choose as your “one hit”.
PS: One The Mighty One gets Diablo Cody fat we can lose weight together and bond and shit! Woo woo! Holla at yer ninja!
I would like to have Thai food with Charlize Theron, gnome’sayin.
I’d like to put my banana phone in Charlize Theron’s hamburger phone, gnome’sayin?
Jennifer’s Body was actually underrated. Shut up.
