You know, that’s REALLY starting to get to be a habit.
You know …
Grabbing a screen shot of some description, just to show you I ’ve had Bruce hooked up to my TV set, to watch a movie.
The really weird bit … ?
Was that 2009 film, Jennifer’s Body, was one I’d actually taped from Channel’s film channel, last Saturday night: and transferred over to Bruce — my Mac Mini — to watch later.
Oh …
And that an extraneous pair of feet seem to have wondered in from somewhere …

Well, of course a pair of feet wondered in: I’m actually sort of thankful that my chair’s comfy enough — and big enough — for me to really bleb out, should I so choose.
I usually do, if I think I have something to watch.
Thankfully, I did, last night.
The film in question being the one I’d taped, last Saturday: the anarchic 2009 horror comedy, Jennifer’s Body.
Told as an extended flashback, Jennifer’s Body sees Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox as Needy and Jennifer, a pair of schoolgirl friends who manage to sneak off to a local bar, to catch a band that’s playing there.
When the bar burns down, mid-gig, they manage to get separated: Jennifer being effectively kidnapped by the band, whilst Needy is left to struggle home on her own.
It’s not until Jennifer manages to get back to Needy’s — looking like a serious wreck, and vomiting slimy black goo all over the kitchen floor — that Needy realises the band weren’t quite what they seems.
And that the mysterious deaths — of a local exchange student, the school quarterback and a local emo — that Jennifer isn’t as unscarred as she claims to be …

Now …
Jennifer’s Body: good, bad or indifferent … ?
Well, just to avoid answering that one, I’d say “Fun,” actually.
Which is a fairly accurate comment.
Oh, I’m sure those of us looking for flaws will find dozens. But Jennifer’s Body is about people getting hideously killed and eaten by Megan Fox*.
It’s not necessarily this year’s big Art House DVD release!
Putting it bluntly, if you liked Heathers, then Jennifer’s Body will be right up your street.
I loved Heathers, myself …
Jennifer’s Body
★★½☆☆
* Yeah, I had to think for a minute, there: writing “getting eaten by Megan Fox” would’ve got me trouble …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
