Jennifer's Body: A Deep Dive

[@Dparish24]

I'm sure Jennifer's Body would've been more successful if it was made today in a post metoo world. Most of those journalists certainly wouldn't get away with questions like that today. It's sad Diablo Cody seems really emotionally affected by the backlash, she's a great writer in addition to this Juno, Lisa Frankenstein, Young Adult and Tully are wonderful films.

Look being a 34 year old guy and a father to five daughters , and a brother four sisters having finished the video I’m actually embarrassed for the so called journalism on display during the press tour it was absolutely awful

[@LeadrynMcKrotch]

I have been telling people for years to watch Jennifer's body like they would the movie Heathers. Saying it's more a dark comedy instead of full scary movie that uses shock and humor to cover a more heavy subject matter. That has supposedly helped them enjoy it more. So I definitely think the marketing team screwed them

Cool video Kylie! 🤙I enjoyed this movie when it came out & still have enjoyed it through out my rewatches since 2009. Hoping one day we'll get a sequel. Amanda & Megan were casted perfectly too. ❤️

[@zaq93]

I have my issues with modern day Megan Fox, but I really do hate that her moment was spat on. She might not be the best actress, but I think she nailed this character and has great comedic timing. Glad the role has become iconic over time.

[@variationdomination04]

What has megan fox done recently besides drinking blood which was insane.

[@umbrellaunderdog]

I think this film showed she has some range. Not the best acting but better than what we've seen in the past because of bad directing and directors not wanting to give her respectable character driven roles.

[@mbasspick5335]

I think her best roles are the dark comedy roles. Like Jennifers Body and Till Death, where she allowed to be this sarcastic, witty, rude, loud, funny person

[@MechaJutaro]

She spat on her own moment here, by refusing to show us the goods in full. By contrast, her co-star Seyfried hasn't hesitated to get naked, and her career hath thrived

[@HeroesKey]

I remember being kind of freaked out when this movie first came out. Granted I was young and was never really a fan of horror at the time. But with everything I had seen of this movie, it's really amazing. Though it's been a while since I've watched this so there's not too much I remember from it. But I absolutely loved this deep dive refreshing my memory of not only what this movie was about but also things I didn't know. So appreciate you doing a deep dive on this. Also love the outfit!

[@larryalexander6333]

Great video like always . i love this movie it came out in 2009 I was still in high school

[@eugeneimbangyorteza]

AT LAST!!! I could have sworn you have done this before. I think a slightly underrated aspect of the movie is a) the direction and visual presentation of Kusama, which edges over Juno or Ginger Snaps, and DEFINITELY almost all mid budget horror movies of the 2000s b) the writing behind Needy's character has a great mix of theatricality and breaking stereotype

[@HauntedHippie]

Yes yes yes

​@@HauntedHippiediablo cody said lisa frankenstein takes place in the same universe as jennifer's body

[@anthonywheeler2082]

You only touched on it slightly but the fact that Diablo Cody went from writing a feel good dramady like Juno to a horror movie like Jennifer's Body put a target on her back from most critics. So many of them wanted to punish her for "stepping out of bounds" with a horror comedy. They acted like, "You made Juno how dare you make a horror movie! Stay in this tiny box we put you in!" It was ugly. Even Roger Ebert's review said it wasn't scary or funny. Implying it served no purpose and shouldn't have existed in the first place. Also Ebert has always been overrated. I used to watch Siskel & Ebert religously so I know what I'm talking about haha I liked Siskel better for the most part. Although, they could both have sticks up their ass at any given moment during any given review. I saw it happen many times. The only good Jennifer's Body review I read was in Rue Morgue magazine. It wasn't even a perfect review. The writer (Sean Plummer, I think) gave it a fair, mostly positive review. He understood it way better than any other critic at the time. Literally the only good review I read. I always like the movie. I need to revisit it. And whoever said that Megan Fox could only get work in porn is literally whorephobic. Yeah, fuck that. I have sex worker friends who make porn and I'm tired of hearing sex work used as an insult etc. Boy was this comment a journey. I had a rough day. I need to rest. Good video Kylie. Keep being you.

[@BB13131313]

You might be thinking of a different review or movie because I read Ebert's review of Jennifer's Body a few weeks ago and he absolutely praised the film and gave it 3 stars.. he even said "There is within Diablo Cody the soul of an artist, and her screenplay brings to this material a certain edge, a kind of gleeful relish, that's uncompromising. This isn't your assembly-line teen horror thriller."..

Kylie you should check out All Cheerleaders Die which is really similar to Jennifers Body

[@alib6615]

I was legitimately shocked when this movie did not get the hype or praise it deserved at the time. I have been a horror girly since birth and was so psyched to see this when it came out (I was 28 at the time). I loved "Juno" and was psyched that Diablo was doing a horror movie. I am also more of a Needy and have had many Jennifers in my life and thought it was such a good depiction of female friendship. So smart when Chip doesn't get why Needy and Jennifer hang out and Needy stands up for her and their friendship. Is Jennifer a good friend to Needy? No. Does Needy know this? Yes. Female relationships are complex and deep and wild. You have articulated this much better. I am just raging over here. It is like re-opening wounds to hear the dumba**ery that was the marketing, reviews, and interviews these amazing women had to go through.

[@HauntedHippie]

The only reason why I can’t let this rage go yet is because where tf is the tv series or sequel???

This movie was far more frightening than I expected, given the sleazy marketing.

[@tyleradams3490]

[@BB13131313]

Great vid Ky! I actually watched this for the first time somewhat recently.. it has been on my radar since it came out, but never saw it.. but you always talked about it and since I recently watched Ginger Snaps I figured I'd check it out.. I see the parallels and although I personally prefer Ginger Snaps because I was the same age as the characters in that film at the time it was filmed, so it's more comforting and relatable, but I enjoyed Jennifer's Body and thought it was well written with really good dialogue and performances.. I was 25 when this was released and honestly wasn't interested bc of Megan Fox (no fault of her own).. every decade there's a few celebs that the media and society anoint as "female sex symbols".. like they brainwash girls into thinking that's how they should look and boys into thinking that's who they should want to f*ck and it's annoying imo.. men go through it too, obviously not to the same extent, but still just presented as a piece of meat for the masses.. I feel bad for Megan bc she always had the "just hot, no talent" stereotype going on.. I remember her being pushed hard back then.. I saw Transformers back then, that's it, so Jennifer's Body was like my first time watching Megan act and I thought she was really good.. I haven't read much about this film, but I think it's safe to say that this film was named after the Hole song with the same name.. I mean they played Violet in the ending credits which is from the same album, which was a perfect choice! I adore Courtney despite the baggage, her lyrics, songwriting and voice are top notch, the epitome of a rockstar imo.. Side note but relevant, but the girl-girl kissing reminded me of a story where Charlize said that the financial backers of Monster thought they were investing in a "hot & sexy lesbian love story staring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci" and freaked out when they saw they both gained 20-30 lbs and "uglied themselves up".. shows how out of touch people in power are.. also to this day Ricci says the most disappointing moment of her career was the marketing of Black Snake Moan bc they just exploited her character to frat boys, which completely ruined how the film was supposed to be perceived, the film is still misunderstood to this day due to the trailer and posters.. it's a shame that people in power always automatically resort to "sex sells" on projects where the art should sell, but they always underestimate audiences.. I'm far from a prude lmao, but using sex to sell a product that sells itself is pointless and hurts the person being objectified.. I'ma chill with these long rants I promise haha, but you put time and effort into these vids so I figure I'll give a thoughtful response..

[@HauntedHippie]

I appreciate a thoughtful response! You make great points, I'm thinking about your point about sexualization happening to men too. One of the most egregious recent examples is when Finn Wolfhard was like 14 and some older model told him to call her when he turned 18. Gross. For the most part though, I think men are usually also valued for their talents on top of that. Like Justin Bieber, back then men hated him because teenage girls loved him sure. But now I don't think anyone would deny he was kind of the king of pop for his generation. Same thing for like Harry Styles, Pedro Pascal (people are super weird about him but also love his acting), Justin TImberlake etc etc. Definitely a double standard there when women are just inherently seen as objects more often than men. Christina Ricci also had her boobs enhanced for a Sleepy Hollow poster! Didn't realize she was in Monster, I've been meaning to check that one out for a long time. I'll look into what you mentioned there

[@BB13131313]

​@@HauntedHippie Yeah I remember that Sleepy Hollow poster, another example of trying to use sex to sell something that already sells itself.. I think she got a breast reduction when she was 19-20, but she never talked about it, so it's like an urban legend, and I dont care either way.. I know she absolutely loathes the idea of anyone talking about her body, so I'm not going there bc it's a gross topic anyways.. she suffered from anorexia when she was 14 for a year but got help.. she's open about that and how she hated standing in front of casting directors and they'd just dissect her body in front of her when she was going through puberty, f'd up stuff.. Monster is incredible, but heads up there's a brutal SA scene in the first 30 minutes, but it's not gratuitous, glamourized or made to be "sexy", it's horrifying and effective.. Patty Jenkins, Charlize and Ricci went to trenches of Florida and did some pretty incredible stuff..

[@BB13131313]

​@@HauntedHippieand on your point of men being both sex symbols and respected for their talent I'd agree.. although for every Megan Fox you have an Elizabeth Taylor and Madonna who were sex symbols who were equally praised for their talents.. but yes I still get your point and it's still very valid.. I'm in no way saying it's the same for both men and women because it's clearly not..

I was 15 when Jennifer's Body came out in 2009 and at that time I enjoyed the movie but as I've gotten older this movie just gets more and more awesome and I definitely would not be a opposed to some kind of continuation that Diablo Cody has said she would be more than willing to do

This is probably the only comedic horror movie that I think would work better played straight… which I’m sure most would disagree with, and that’s cool 😅. Diablo’s Cody brand of irreverent humor just doesn’t suite my taste, and here I think it gets in the way. I feel like both Fox and Sefried do the dramatic stuff so well, and their are legitimately creepy moments throughout that makes me wish Kusama didn’t have to balance that with the levity. I think she could have delivered a stellar, all-out horror version of this story. Just my two cents, though! I still think this is a solid one, and it’s definitely a movie deserving of its cult because it is special in a lot of ways.

[@HauntedHippie]

I know there has been somewhat a renaissance with the movie in recent years not too dissimilar to the movie showgirls which I still haven’t actually seen yet.

I’m just glad that society as a whole has become more accepting of it. She honestly seems so cool in real life! I always liked to think of this movie as a vampire movie. Even though not all of the vampire tropes are used, the whole sexual predatory nature and her drinking blood I feel makes this a strong vampire movie with all her sexual undertones in her character.

Loved this movie & definitely learned a lot from this deep dive so thank u! Cool costume btw too! 🩸👍

[@HauntedHippie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t Succubi just drain their lifeforce? The one thing I always thought weird about this flick was that Jennifer…ate the men. Like, when I first saw the trailer at a young age, I thought she was a Wendigo or something.

[@HauntedHippie]

she also absorbs their life force idk potato potato

One question: Why do you call yourself Haunted Hippie? (Sorry for originally saying Horror Hippie…don’t know where I got that name?)

[@HauntedHippie]

I don't

[@jackofallclaws6672]

@@HauntedHippie my apologies, I meant to say Haunted.

[@jackofallclaws6672]

@@HauntedHippie Once again, I’m very sorry for messing up your name.

@@jackofallclaws6672 hahah it’s fine. Cuz I’m a raging hippie and Haunted was the best alliteration

[@jackofallclaws6672]

@@HauntedHippie What a Raging Hippie do, exactly? Is it raging in the context of you being really chill but also socially conscious or is it in the context of a fusion between hippie and metal head? And now, I’m picturing a bunch of hippies in a mosh pit…interesting.

What tha f happened to Megan Fox's face? 😮

[@HauntedHippie]

her work is very standard, mostly fillers, probably botox. maybe a ponytail lift or fox eye lift. It definitely costs tens of thousands of dollars to look like her

[@YControl129]

Not Laremy

[@HauntedHippie]

Is that even a real name

[@SPMunny]

I’m so glad this movie came out when I was an angry teenage girl. It’s like Diablo Cody knew what I needed like we spiritually connected

[@devradenny8354]

Excellent video! Loved this move from the first watch. Love Megan. She does NOT deserve the shit people throw at her. 😒 She’s fabulous.

You kinda look like The lead girl from Prey

[@HauntedHippie]

Never got that one before

[@cashthecurator666]

Personally, I think that Jennifer Check is a great anti-hero. I don't really see her as a straight up card-carrying villain like, say, Glenda Ray from Seed of Chucky. She's just a strong, independent woman who embraces her sexuality with pride. Admittedly, the sexual aspects do make me uncomfortable, but that's due to my own asexuality. Putting that aside, the sexual aspects actually served a purpose, and it was done tastefully, too. I'm glad that this movie was gutsy enough to portray Jennifer that way. She's powerful and she's not afraid to show it. And it gave Megan Fox more opportunity to show off her acting chops, which is just a bonus. By the way, might be a strange suggestion, but have you considered doing a deep dive on the character of Sienna Shaw from Terrifier 2? She's my favorite final girl, and I think it'd be a fun project to do before Women's History Month ends.

[@HauntedHippie]

Won’t have time this year unfortunately but eventually when I start deep diving characters she can be on the list

Unfortunately I didn't get too see it in theaters but I rented it and I know what your probably thinking of course you did you're a man and yes you're right but I'm a gay man this movie is iconic af and Megan is a queeeeen, when I 1st seen this movie and saw them makeout after not watching the trailer btw all I could think was yassssss queeeeens 💅 they will forever be bisexual icons

[@damianstarks3338]

Great video of this cult classic

[@vampirascoffin870]

with all due respect to Megan Fox , her fans and this movie , i never liked her or Jennifer's body bad enough it's in the same universe with Lisa frankenstein and the marketing was terrible , and nooo Jennifer's body is not in the same league as ginger snaps lol she's in a whole level just my opinion , great video Horror Queen💯⚰️🦇🍷🫀

[@HauntedHippie]

Ginger Snaps is more special to me too
