    Megan Fox is not really that hot IMO. She is average at best, you see hundreds like her every day and pass them by completely flaccid. Put them in a hollywood movie and all of a sudden they get quickly pedestalised. Michael Bay's movies were the same whether she was involved or not. Like when he replaced her for someone hotter and nobody cared or noticed.

    @WilliamE216 lol did you really not learn about how Michael Bay basically had her blacklisted from Hollywood and that's why she wasn't in one of the Transformers films??? She HAD to go for these kinds of roles because that's all people wanted her for, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to start her career. And then once she was established as even having ONE role like that (her most memorable to most) Hollywood didn't want her doing anything else. It's so hard for women to not only establish themselves in the film industry, but to be able to have an evolution in the type of roles they have. She was typecast, she didn't have a choice. If you seriously think she had enough power to take any role or do anything you're willfully ignorant.

    This movie had a lot of nuance regarding Jennifer and Needy’s relationship. The irony is in Needy’s name being for the wrong character- Jennifer has a crush on Needy and NEEDS her. She just can’t figure out how to confess without ruining her image. It’s tragic and kind of beautiful.

    @@toadtongue YASSSS. They were in love in a very toxic, abusive, codependent way, though. But unlike those YA Wattpad Romance Fanfics like After and 50 Shades of Grey, theirs can potentially be fixed because (except for the supernatural elements) it is realistic and the toxicity was never romanticized. Instead of romanticizing a toxic codependent relationship, the film showed how it can ruin friendships and the people surrounding them. How everything could have gone differently if Jennifer and Needy just confessed their feelings for each other and not repress it by sleeping around (Jennifer) and getting a boyfriend you don't love that much (Needy) to convince themselves that they are not lesbigay for each other. To prove to their egos that they never enjoyed their boyfriend-girlfriend game... when in fact they always do. Imagine if they got together and turned their relationship to a healthy one before Low Shoulder went to their town. Jenn wouldn't have the desire to hookup with Nikolai because she's content with Needy. They wouldn't be at the bar in the first place. Then Jennifer wouldn't have been sacrificed and Needy wouldn't need to kill her. They would've graduate high school. They would have gone to community college at least and made their way into the world. But nope. Instead they hurt each other over and over. And made us cry with their tragic love story.

Most of us listen to it and see it as Needy's song to Jennifer. But he suggested we listen to it and see it as Jennifer's song to Needy and suddenly the meaning changes and weight becomes heavier. Tragic but beautiful indeed.

You can have love in a friendship and want love that’s platonic. I swear to god the amount of people online who immediately call gay when characters of the same sex are close in mind-boggling. Diablo Cody never intended for Jennifer and Needy to be gay towards each other. And yeah Needy did love her boyfriend.

I mean, we can sit here all day and argue about how hollywood sexualizes everyone too much (they totally do btw), but ask yourself this; if they didn’t, would Megan even have a career? I’m not saying she’s not talented (she can be). All I’m saying is, without her sexualization, would we even be talking about her nowadays?

    Because the movie blatantly said famous artists/actors/hollywood/elitists is satan worshippers, combine with one conspiracy theorist name Alex Jones who at that time very vocal about Hollywood and upper government officers being satanists(something about grooves,naked men dancing around fire), no wonder they try to bury the movie. Basically the studio got tricked with megan fox clips and green light the movie but the final product is not desirable for their taste and ask the critic to bomb the reviews.

    Your commentary is so interesting - I hadn't even considered the angle of: she gets her victims because she's not seen as a threat. I do disagree with your angle on Needy and Jennifer's friendship; I think it goes a lot deeper than jealousy. I think there's also possessiveness and co-dependency there, a very very complex exploration of female bonds. I've adored Megan Fox and Jennifer's Body from the beginning and watching people dismiss her so hard then was really, really frustrating. There is some redemption now but it still feels bitter sweet that suddenly everyone's a retroactive advocate.

    There was a clear sexual element to the two girls relationship. Jen also targeted the boys her friend liked specifically. And it was either hinted or stated directly that they slept together/ made out on their sleepovers over the years. Jealousy and possessiveness of Needy's time and aggressive comments towards her bf were also clearly there.

    To me, Needy gaining some of Jennifer's powers after defeating her is symbolic of becoming stronger after leaving a toxic relationship. There's so much commentary in this film that is made subtly, and a lot of it you actually discover after watching the film several times. So much to discover and think about each time you watch it. That's what a great film should do.

    I actually feel kind of bad for Fox's character. She was kinda bitchy and self- involved sure, but before she was killed she wasn't exactly evil. She was kidnapped and murdered by a group of men, and forced to become a flesh eating succubus to stay alive. Honestly, it's kinda tragic what happened to her and I'm glad Needy got revenge in the end. I just wish we got a moment to show us that Needy understands what Jennifer has become is no longer the 'real' Jennifer, and that her actual best friend died that night with the band. It would add a little more depth and sympathy regarding their friendship. I do wonder why Jennifer herself didn't think about getting revenge, though. Would she have seen it more as a 'gift' since she dug her abilities later on?

    YES I agree with you this is my opinion, but I don't think that revenge was on her mind. She was a victim of circumstance. She was what teenage girls were expected and portrayed to be- vapid, shallow, beautiful, and empty. After she revives, she is seen just satiating her hunger since that's all she can think about. She is mourning her loss of youth/beauty/life especially seen in that scene where she rubs foundation on her face. She didn't get to that stage where she wanted to go after them, she was focusing on survival. I'm not sure about her abilities being seen as a "gift" since she's seen heartbroken not knowing what's happening after her transition to then at the end of the movie she sees that this has ruined her relationship with Needy. Her friendship and the romantic plotline also play into this. Needy idolized Jennifer's beauty, status, and their bond. I believe that Jennifer was in love with Needy but it all was toxic and codependent. Jennifer does go through all of the stages of grief ending in her acceptance that the only way to survive is to eat men (she can also eat/feast or whatever word you would use on women, but men were the ones that objectified her and sacrificed her). Not only did the men ruin her beauty (the societal currency that made her feel valuable and seen) but Needy stabs her in the boob in the end, thereby scarring her and lowering her "perfect" beauty too. Needy supported her through everything, so she's almost surprised that Needy would harm her like that since she complimented her beauty in the beginning. When Needy says her heart (when she replies to J saying her boob), you can see how that toxic relationship is over, not only did Needy hurt her body but she also severed their bond. She's definitely scarred and will have this memory and trauma for her whole life, but she is freer now without her. wow I couldn't stop typing lol this is one of my favorite movies so I hope you understand this is just my enthusiasm showing haha

    Men will never understand it. Go look at some interviews with Megan Fox, and see how she was objectified in interviews. Interviewers asking her to do a strip tease, or telling her how much they’d like to have sex with her, or making jokes about how dumb she is. It was relentless, and men at the time were acting like a fucking animal in heat, and not only disregarded her feelings, they actively disrespected and hated her while simultaneously wanting to fuck her, because they knew they didn’t have a chance. I’ve had very attractive friends, and I don’t think you realize how much it fucks with your head. People adore you to your face, everyone wants to befriend you, but then men are always trying to manipulate you and get in your pants, and women start rumours and backstab you. You have trust issues. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that my friend today shaved off her hair and covered her body in tattoos. Once in a while, she’ll get an angry message on Facebook that she “used to be hot” and that “she ruined her body”. As if her body only ever existed to be some man’s fuck toy.

That trilogy is so unfortunately underrated and has yet to get the love and respect that it truly deserves. I, myself, only know a few people who've seen it, and mostly because I've recommended it to them ... So, it's great to see people talking about it and how it's paved the way for films like Jennifer's Body.

My favorite scene was the one where they were sleeping in the snow and the camera view was on top view and Gin's red cloak enveloped in Bridgette's black cloak was a complete contrast to the vast white snowscape. It both isolate and emphasize them, hinting on how their relationship has always been a sisterly "you and me against the world". 😀

    Megan Fox (Jennifer) and Amanda Seyfried (Needy) have both said this is their favorite movie of their respective filmographies. To prepare for her role as a possessed living-dead teenager, Megan Fox lost around 15 lbs, bringing her weight down to a near-frail 97 lbs, and stayed out of the sun. The title is from the song "Jennifer's Body" by Courtney Love's band Hole. Hershey's chocolate syrup was used for Jennifer's 'black vomit' scene along with the use of CGI-animation. Colin invites Jennifer to "Rocky Horror at the Bijou," a reference to a student-run movie theater at the University of Iowa. Diablo Cody graduated from the University of Iowa. Anita Lesnicky's nickname of Needy comes from writer Diablo Cody's initial intention to have the character be of a 'needy' disposition. She later decided against this as she felt she had seen enough nerdy stereotypes in high school set movies.

It was literally the best horror movie I had ever seen, the scares were fuckign scary, the jokes were hilarious, and the smart witted comments were so profound and insightful to me. Because I was stoned as shit. Watched it again sober a year later, and I felt all those things I felt when I first watched it, to a lesser degree. But I had already fallen in love the film upon first intoxicated viewing. One of my favourite horror movies.

Honestly, I can’t praise this movie enough and it is what sold me on my love of Megan Fox because it showed how talented she really is. Is she Oscar worthy? I can’t say because Hollywood did her a massive disservice and focused solely on her sex appeal. They never gave her a real chance and that kills me.

    I hated the fact that they showed the kiss in the trailer. It wasn't meant to be this titillating thing. The whole point was to show how the lines between friendship and something more is very so often blurred when it comes to teenage female friendships, and that is absolutely spot-on. I saw this in theaters with my bff and we both loved it and could relate to it a lot. It's a shame it was marketed towards teenage boys when it was made specifically for teenage girls, Karyn Kusama said that herself. I'm really happy it's finally getting the love it deserves. It has so many great lines. "We can watch Aquamarine. It's about a girl who's half sushi. I think she has sex with a blowhole or something."

There are definitely a lot movies made for teen girls, but few that are actually smart and not insulting to their intelligence. But you’re onto something. There’s a youtuber named Yara Zhayd who has videos that cover a lot of movies like this, including one on Jennifer’s Body that I highly recommend. It goes more in-depth with how bad the marketing was, and the filmmakers’ intent with the story.

    @@zombieedrea Yup and what's worse, is most people see Ginger Snaps, Mean Girls and The Craft (the original) as "shallow high school films" even by young girls themselves, when these films are so much more. Ginger Snaps deal with the pains of growing up, of puberty, of transforming from a girl into a woman. Mean Girls, for example, is actually a social commentary on tyranny and dictatorship (KZread channel The Take, formerly Screenprism, did a videoessay film analysis about it). The Craft, on the other hand, is about how teenage girls deal with suicidal tendencies (Sarah), sexual abuse (Nancy), racism (Rochelle), and body shaming/physical insecurities (Bonnie), which are heavy topics considering the fragile psyche of growing teens coming-of-age in a judgmental society. I am not sure about Clueless though, because I haven't watched it yet.

But something with it stuck with me and I watched it a year or two later and watched it for what it was and really enjoyed it and in the one or two subsequent viewings since have continued to.

    The secret to Jennifer and Needy's relationship is that Jennifer is in love with Needy, but can't accept herself loving another girl and self destructively tries to ruin all of Needy's other relationships so she has to rely on Jennifer for companionship. The movie even calls this out during the pep rally, where another girl calls Needy a lesbian because of her relationship with Jennifer.

I was so tired of all the non-synapse-brain males that didn't care beyond looks and it was refreshing. It's not a perfect movie, but it doesn't matter. I enjoyed it very much.

    It has the same template as Abby and Ginger Snaps and Carrie (the first one), but I think it's ahead of its time in a sense that during the decade (2000-2010) it was released there was no US/Canadian horro-comedy film (with female empowerment undertones) that was made that is about the complexities and power play of toxic, abusive, codependent female friendship between two closeted bisexual best friends who are secretly in love with each other, with a script written by a bi-curious woman (Diablo Cody) and one of the leads played by a bisexual woman (Megan Fox). Most queer love story at that time were in Rom-Com form (Imagine Me & You, 2005) and Drama form (Brokeback Mountain, 2005), and erotic form that sometimes border on softcore porn. 😅
