"Shutties!"

i went to see Jennifer's Body with my friends last night. I didnt have very high hopes for the movie, but it was actually very... entertaining. i cant decide if it was terribly wonderful or just terrible (but in a wonderful way lol). the dialogue was HILARIOUS. it was written by Diablo Cody, who is, if you dont know, the same person who wrote Juno. and the lines were very Juno-esque. Here are some of my favorite lines:

Jennifer, after getting stabbed: "Do you have a tampon?"
Needy: "No?"
Jennifer: "Oh, cuz you look like you're pluggin!"

Jennfier: "you're just jello"
Chip: "I'm not jealous."
Jennifer: "Yes you are. You're a big green bowl of lime jello!"

and many, many more. also, it contains one of the most EPIC pre-death lines EVER. but i wont tell it. i feel like it must be seen and enjoyed in real life.

but it wasnt just full of entirely ridiculous dialogue. the movie also had a few legitimately creepy scenes in it. there is one scene near the beginning when Jennifer, after getting into a "down-to-the-river-in-a-van van (as rebecca would so delicately put it) with some creepers, shows up at her BFFs house in the middle of the night, dirty, clothes torn, dripping blood. she stands in the middle of the kitchen, silent and completely unmoving. her eyes look lifeless. the only sound is the blood dripping off her and hitting the kitchen floor. and then she smiles, teeth coated in blood. she smiles this terrible, creepy, gives-you-chills smile and it was terrifying.

all in all, it was a decent movie. i laughed alot at the lines, which were intentionally silly im pretty sure, but i also felt a twee bit scared a few times too.
