Okay, so this is for all the ladies out there, as, fellas, I'm sure you couldn't give two shits about this, but it's being reported that Diablo Cody, of Juno and Jennifer's Body "fame," will be adapting the Sweet Valley High series for the big screen.
Cue gasps!
Okay, fine, Diablo Cody has an Oscar. Big deal; Ben Affleck got one for writing too, so suck it. But, I cannot condone Cody with the most beloved series of my youth. I spent many nights trying to decide which Wakefield twin I was--always hoping for the wild and crazy Jessica but knowing I was more the practical Elizabeth. They had blonde hair and blue eyes just like MEEEEEE. Seriously, I read almost all 150 books out there--even the racy college ones. I even watched the shitty TV show in the '90s to get my fix. So, why on earth is Diablo "I'm too fucking hip for my own good" Cody helming this project?
It's not known what the story will be or who any of the key players will be other than Cody, but this marks her THIRD high school flick, and I'm seriously wondering if Cody remembers high school. It wasn't all indie rock and quirky pop culture references--especially not with the Wakefield twins.
I know most of you Movie Pressers could care less about this news, but I, for one, am pissed. Please, Diablo Cody, don't fuck up my youth!
Thank you.
