You're also right about Kusama's direction but I haven't seen her other films. I wish she would have loosened up a little, at least as much as Cody, when she shot Jennifer.Hans A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11328243469224993459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-53159564297004273862009-09-27T22:36:36.273-05:002009-09-27T22:36:36.273-05:00I too enjoyed this film and am annoyed by the Cody...I too enjoyed this film and am annoyed by the Cody backlash. Eh, I guess no one likes a successful success story.<br /><br />My beef with Jennifer's Body, however, was the direction. It never felt like Kusama knew what kind of film to make. The 'scary' moments had nothing to really offer in terms of suspense, although most of the more overly comedic scenes worked fine. Odd because based on her credits, it seems like Kusama has worked more with action and movement.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-68345403549560289092009-09-26T02:30:41.539-05:002009-09-26T02:30:41.539-05:00Thnx Karen for reading and commenting.

It appears this film is dividing critics and viewers right down the middle with some really positive praise and some damning negative criticism. I love Cody's work and it's a really fun film.<br /><br />My man, Mr. LP, humanity must remain in your debt, and as a member, let me send my heartfelt thnx. Glad you made it through, brother.Hans A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11328243469224993459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-36932994286298941642009-09-25T18:47:05.908-05:002009-09-25T18:47:05.908-05:00Haven't watched Jennifer's Body yet. Juno ...Haven't watched Jennifer's Body yet. Juno was one of my favs too. Diablo Cody's been getting a lot of crap for this movie. In Hollywood Deadline, it was even suggested she might be a one-trick pony. Good to read something positive for a change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093327579257195527.post-77377477912598824752009-09-25T18:21:02.197-05:002009-09-25T18:21:02.197-05:00I remember the head cheerleader from my high schoo...I remember the head cheerleader from my high school. Some people said she was a succubus. Others said she was an alien. All I know is that she challenged me to a showdown in the school gym at midnight to decide the fate of humanity. Everybody knows that cheerleaders are a lot of things, but they aren't large and in charge. Your welcome humanity.Dr.LargePackagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582012408016042337noreply@blogger.com
