I cannot tell a lie. I absolutely hated “Juno.” From the nauseatingly quirky dialogue to the random name-dropping of trendy indie rock bands, the whole thing just seemed like writer Diablo Cody was screaming: “Hey, look at me! I’m hip!” Apparently, she fooled enough people to collect an Oscar out of the deal, so good for her. Everyone’s bound to get lucky once.
The trailer for Ms. Cody’s latest outing, “Jennifer’s Body,” hit the streets this week and it looks like we’re right back to where we started. This time though, the teenage high school girl strutting around to latest indie jangle isn’t preggers, she’s some kind of possessed, boy-eating girl. When you watch the trailer there are all kinds of “clever” one-liners suggesting this to be a horror/comedy, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say this movie will end up just being horrible.
There are a lot of insinuations throughout the trailer that the movie-going public will get to see Megan Fox’s nipples, which will surely delight teenage boys nationwide. Will it actually happen? Who cares? One thing is for sure, Megan Fox will do interviews upon the release of the movie saying things along the lines of “Well, it’s a horror movie, so I’m not going to bulls--- anyone and say it’s about acting. I’m just terrible at what I do and when my good looks fade, so will my acting career.”
They also dug up Adam Brody for this sordid affair, this time playing some kind of indie-rock star, the exact opposite of the character that he played on the now defunct, Fox teeny-bopper soap opera, “The O.C.” Brody has surely set out to show the world that not only can he play a fan of the music convincingly, but also a musician himself. Oh, how the tables have turned! Too bad Ryan Atwood isn’t around to see this.
Being a huge fan of the horror genre, when I heard Diablo Cody was throwing her hat in the ring, I felt a part of my brain stroke out. After viewing this trailer, I am sufficiently brain damaged. I guess I’ll have to add her name to this list.
Honest to blog.
