Jennifer's Body
Jennifer's Body is a 2009 American comedy horror film written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama. Megan Fox stars as Jennifer Check, a demonically possessed high school student who kills her male classmates and devours their flesh in order to survive. Amanda Seyfried co-stars as the friend who tries to end her killing spree, with Johnny Simmons, J. K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, and Adam Brody in supporting roles. Working with Cody again following their collaborative efforts on Juno, Jason Reitman stated he and his producers "want to make unusual films". Cody said she wanted the film to speak to female empowerment and explore the complex relationships between best friends. As a tie-in to the film, Boom! Studios produced a Jennifer's Body graphic novel, released in August 2009. Jennifer's Body premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2009, and was theatrically released in the United States and Canada on September 18, 2009. The film had a lackluster performance at the box office, grossing $31.6 million against a budget of $16 million, but received mixed reviews from critics, with its dialogue, emotional resonance and performances being praised, while the narrative and uneven tone were criticized. It has been described as a feminist cult classic.
Let it all out, kids. dd You want some baloney, Spector? And that was Low Shoulder, the local band... who became unlikely heroes ofthe tragedy in Devil's Kettle last night. Eyewitnesses say the boys helped numerous people escape the inferno, risking their own lives in the process. That's rock and roll with a conscience, ladies and gentlemen. And guess what. We are honored to have Low Shoulder in the studio right now. Now, how you guys holdin' up? We're maintaining, man. It's not easy, but, you know, the real heroes... are the people of Devil's Lake. I just hope we can convey 1/1 Oth of their courage and spirit... on our upcoming album.

Oh, God. I had another one of my night terrors. Well, it's 4:00, so technically you had a day terror. Right. What'd you dream about? I dreamed some bad people were trying to nail you to a tree... with hammers and big stakes and shit. Just like J.C. But I didn't let 'em get you, 'cause I'm a hard-assed, Ford-tough mama bear. I can take care of myself. Yeah, you say that, but one day you're gonna be crying out for me, and I'm not gonna be there.

- Yeah? - It's that good. Well, that's nice. Me, I'm still a little bit depressed about, you know, the giant, smoldering funeral pyre in the middle oftown. Move-on-dot-org, Needy. It's over. Life is too short to be moping around about some white-trash pig roast. That's sweet, Jen. You know, I tell it like it is. And besides, you know what? You should be happy for me because I am having the best day... since, like, Jesus invented the calendar. Jesus didn't invent the calendar. Whatever. Other line. Hold on. - So blow it off. - It'll just be a minute. Pooh. I'm crossing you out. Hey. I need to see you right now. I can barely hear you. dd It's because Camille is playing the piano. Knock it off, Camille! You knock it off! Can you meet me at McCullum in 10? You knock it off, Chip! You're a penis cheese! Uh, 15? d Heard you're new in town d d Want someone to show you round d d Well, no one knows this place just quite like me dd - I gotta go. - I am a god. Okay. I gotta meet Chip in McCullum Park. You know, Chip is looking really cute to me lately. So, tell me, is he, uh, like, packing some serious pubic inches? What's the story down there? I gotta go.

Why are the cops at your house? They're not. They're atJonas Kozelle's house. Why? He try to sell fake peyote to the eighth graders again? No, Needy. He was murdered. What? Yeah. Someone ripped Jonas limb from limb in the woods behind school. They ate parts of him. No one's even supposed to know yet, but my dad just went over there and talked to the cops. His mom is, like, catatonic. She's just staring out the front window like a zombie mannequin robot statue.

Well, the bad luck's gotta be over, right? I mean, it can't get any worse, right? It can't. I mean, you agree, right? You're shaking. Well, I'm cold. It's very cold out here. You want my hoodie? d All alone in an empty room d The days marched on as usual, but most of us were too numb to enjoy ourselves. Most of us. d And I don't know how we ended up here d d I don't know but it's never been so clear d d We made a mistake, dear d To the rest ofthe world, we were famous. We were saints. Our town's only bar had burned to the ground, and our star linebacker was someone's Snack Pack. The whole country got a huge tragedy boner for Devil's Kettle. And the press, God! They couldn't get enough of our little world of shit. d Through the trees d d I will find you d d I will heal d d The ruins left inside you d d 'Cause I'm still here breathing now d d I'm still here breathing now d d Until I'm set free d d Go quiet through the trees dd Still, we were healing. Like Chip, we figured things could only get better. Hey!

As you all know, today is the one month anniversary... ofthe tragedy at Melody Lane... and the murder ofJonas Kozelle. Boring. Jesus! What a bitch. As I was saying, Jennifer and Needy, I finally have some good news to share with all ofyou. The members ofthe rock and roll group Low Shoulder... have decided to extend a helping hand to our community. As you all know, their song, "Through The Trees," has become our unofficial anthem... of unity and healing. And they have decided to release it as a benefit single. Three percent ofthe profits will go to local families... who have been affected by loss. What about the other 97%?
