I'm a bit surprised to see the New York Times (Michael Cieply) describe its TIFF34 screening thus: quote: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/11/movies/11women.html The audience was laughing in all the right places, a good sign for the film, which is walking a fine line between comedy, horror and a postpunk feminism that is telegraphed by the title’s cute pink script in the opening credits. But somehow I had previously failed to notice it was Diablo Cody. Which explains a lot. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 09-11-2009 02:12 PM                     John, I too was really down on this movie until I read the Times review . I also didn't know it was Diablo Cody, or that Amanda Seyfried was in it. I have a very dim opinion of Megan Fox and modern horror films, but I am tempted now and may actually see it. Even with Diablo Cody, I fear any meaningful subtext will be overshadowed by outrageous sexualization and overt violence, two of producers' and studio execs' favorite things, it would seem.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 09-11-2009 11:56 PM                     Sorry John, the name of the thread was changed to protect the identity of the innocent. Anyways, I'm glad to see that the movie is shaping up to look like a decent enjoyable film (Megan Fox might be the gravy). I guess we'll find out next week if it's as good as I want it to be.... Thanks to this thread we also know that among other things, Phil has a foot fetish.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 09-12-2009 04:41 PM                     quote: Jarret Chessell Sorry John, the name of the thread was changed to protect the identity of the innocent.

Dumb-as-a-rock, ungracious and classless, say Transformers crew ARJUN RAMACHANDRAN September 15, 2009 - 7:46AM Transformers star Megan Fox has been slammed as "dumb-as-a-rock", "ungracious" and "classless" by fellow crew members from the blockbuster film, who also said the actress would be better off pursuing a porn career. The three crew members tore into Fox in defence of Transformers director Michael Bay, after Fox likened him to Napolean Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler during a recent interview. In an open letter that was posted on Bay's website, the three unnamed crew members - who said they had worked with Bay for 10 years - said it was Fox who was unprofessional and a "grump of the set". "Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy," the letter said. "When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. "And yes we've had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. "So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option." They said Bay had picked Fox - a "shy, inexperienced girl" - from obscurity and turned her into a star. "And who is the real Megan Fox? "She's as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. "Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. "Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch." In her interview with a British magazine, Fox had said of Bay: “He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. “He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. “He has no social skills at all." Bay wrote on his website that Fox's comments were part of her charm, and that he did not condone the crew members' response. "I don't condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes. "But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. "The fact of the matter is I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3." But the crew members signed off their letter imploring Bay to "squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3". "We can tell you that will make the crew happy!"  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-15-2009 05:28 AM                        quote: John Wilson The real Megan Fox?

It might be a blessing we don't get to know what she's really like, but that's part of what acting is. Two more days until we can crack open those film cans and see what this is really going to be like with our own eyes.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 09-17-2009 09:05 AM                     Today is the day we get to open the fox boxes and handle Jennifer's Body!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 09-17-2009 05:57 PM                        Our theatre didn't book it for whatever reason - so I'm going to either have to scrounge up an employee pass & see it at a sister theatre, shell out the cash to watch it at a competitor's theatre, or just not see it theatrically.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 09-18-2009 01:57 AM                     Well, worse case scenario, you can wait for the blu-ray and ask to go over and watch it at Andy Bajew's "screening" room he's building. I think Brad has him talked into that $135,000 blu-ray player. I was trying to put together "jennifer's body" without actually looking at any of the frames so that I wouldn't ruin it for myself.... I might be spending some time fixing framing issues later, but that's the price you pay.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
