MOVIE SIGN
Dec. 6th, 2011 11:54 pmWe saw Jennifer's Body last night, and it was completely great! And then for some reason we checked the Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic reviews, and it looks like practically no one had any idea what the movie was even about.
I mean, you guys saw it. It wasn't that hard to get, right? It's about that one particular type of friendship between girls who have known each other since forever, the kind that sort of hovers between romantic and platonic and sustaining and toxic. And not only did it hit pretty hard, but also it plain worked and it held together and all the checks it wrote cleared the bank. It was a good fuckin' movie! What is this 43%/37% horseshit?

culturepulp for having at least seen the same goddamn movie I did, though I don't think he enjoyed it quite as much.
Also, I see from his review that it shared a director with the 2005 Æon Flux! Which was yet another movie I thought was wonderful and many other people seemed to not get AT ALL. Do people not like reincarnation and doomed love and rebellion against fate and second chances and gymnastic assassination?! Man, stab me, what the fuck. Anyway, she also directed Girlfight, so maybe I should see that too, whatever the hell that's about.
EDIT: Hahahahaha HOLY SHIT, 10% for poor Æon Flux! Balls to the haters, that movie was solid.
Obligatory book update: I took a vacay day and plowed through 3,800 words of the climax of this thing. I think I've got about a third of this scene left, and after that we're down to the denouement, such as it is. (It's book One of Probably Three. Blargh.)
