Comments on: Movie Chicks on Horror Flicks: Diablo Cody Calls Jennifer’s Body Feminist – Is It? http://actionflickchick.com/superaction/jennifers-feminist/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:53:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Karen http://actionflickchick.com/superaction/jennifers-feminist/comment-page-1/#comment-8549 Karen Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:02:45 +0000 http://actionflickchick.com/superaction/?p=3982#comment-8549 I enjoyed Jennifer's Body. People (and the marketing) tend to put all the focus on Megan Fox but Amanda Seyfried was in the movie too! She's the protagonist. We're seeing the story through Needy's perspective and her character had as much complexity as you can get in a horror comedy. Most women in straight up horror films barely have a personality, they get killed or they're one of the last ones standing with no kind of introspective along the way. So when you look at it Diablo Cody's Needy she has more depth. I wasn't expecting to see an Oscar-worthy horror film going in and I don't think that was what Cody was aiming for. I wonder if people will be so critical of Zombieland? Horror comedies are supposed to be funny and campy. I enjoyed Jennifer's Body.
