Leave Diablo Cody Alone!
By Ann Magnuson
I acted opposite the wonderful Tom Lenk in the L.A. premiere of Amy and David Sedaris' play The Book of Liz. Tom played Duncan, the emotionally-fragile, recovering-alcoholic manager of the Pilgrim-themed restaurant that the wayward Amish-ish character of Liz -- moi -- finds employment. We never stopped laughing. (Except when we had to cry... during our emotional farewell scene. A three-hanky weeper!)
I'm happy to see Tom continues to elicit the yuks (and the tears); this time as "Huevo Hickock" in another YouTube extravaganza. I still haven't seen Juno but assume a lot of the pop-cultural poppycock jargon is part of the ex-stripper's Oscar-winning screenplay. Enjoy!

...I think her win is an amazing insight which the academy had as well as an inspiration to those trying to make it or get our art out into the Hollywood spotlight. In addition I bet she was a great stripper ..!

Whoa, Huevos, stop talking so fast, I'm trying to write all that down!

Instantly hated her when I saw her interviewed on "E.T.". Came across as a self-important, poseur hipster. And her film looks like a boring after-school special to me.
