“I bet you want to see ‘Jennifer’s Body,’” he said to the girl suggestively. One day, I happened upon a cable TV showing of “Jennifer’s Body” halfway through, at the film’s girl-on-girl make-out scene. “Jennifer’s Body” was Diablo Cody’s next screenplay after she won the Oscar for “Juno” in 2008. “Jennifer’s Body” put horror’s great assets — social transgression, complex female characters and bloodthirsty vengeance — in the hands of two contemporary teenage girls. Watching “Jennifer’s Body” with a foot-long incision healing on my back, I was as drawn to Needy’s wretched, anti-medical mania as I was to Jennifer’s emo-worship.
