"Comedy should only be written about sensitive subjects."

"That's my philosophy. To say that we shouldn't have comedies about sensitive subjects is to denigrate comedy. Which to me is a very high art form."

It remains to be seen if this series will fulfill the promise of Juno and establish Cody as the great screenwriting voice of her generation, or if a surface treatment of a serious subject and penchant for dialogue like, "Craptards, mom! Dov Berkleman is coming over tonight to Schoolhouse my Rock, and I need to know if you're the 18-year-old slut or the 58-year-old clarinetist. For seriousballs!" will ultimately leave Tara viewers and Diablo fans alike severely disappointed.

Seth Rogen fires off some pot shots in the new GQ comedy issue. First the funnyguy says that he's the reason — or at least part of the reason — his pal Jonah Hill turned down a role in director Michael Bay's Transformers sequel.

"I can see if Steven Spielberg's calling you, asking you to do something, how that's hard to turn down," Rogen tells writer Alex Pappademas. "But what I said to Jonah was, 'You want to make a movie about fightin' robots? Make your own movie about fightin' robots. You can do that. That's on the table now.' "

So Oscar-winner Cody can likely be excused for answering Spielberg's call; the director is already credited with the story on the Cody-scripted Showtime series The United States of Tara, but their untitled forthcoming collaboration is reportedly "under such tight wraps that even dealmakers involved with the project were in the dark. There are no producers yet attached." We still think Theroux may have had the better day overall, but feel free to call your own shots — short-term, long-term or both — in the comments.
