Respect Authority

When Megan Fox pouted that Michael Bay’s movies, particularly recent release Transformers 2, don’t give actors a chance to showcase their skills, I admit I scoffed. In part because I think this is a conclusion one might draw by simply watching Michael Bay movies, but also because I have little sympathy for the “Look at me, I’m so pretty and all anyone ever notices is how pretty I am” line of defense. That said, and having received numerous assurances that T2 is pretty fucking shitty, I was willing to give newbie Fox the benefit of the doubt.

So then what the fuck is this? Granted, Jennifer’s Body is Cody Diablo’s much-anticipated follow-up to snark fest Juno, but I find myself a little underwhelmed with the premise, and rather reluctant to believe Cody’s writing, without the wunderkind delivery of Ellen Page, will be anything except a throwback to 1990s horror movies, with 21st century nudity.

Then again, who knows? I think you’re a glorified blow-up doll, Megan Fox, but with the Academy  putting a whopping ten films up for best picture this year, maybe your latest softcore porn will get a nod.
