Making a Date with "Jennifer's Body" & Musings on a Set Visit
As I write this, I'm sky-high en route to Vancouver. I've got a script by Diablo Cody in my bag - it's a mix of Evil Dead II and Heathers and any other smart-ass teen comedies you can conjure up (Juno naturally springs to mind, as does Idle Hands - which isn't as bad as I remember making it out to be when it came out). All 114 pages of Cody's latest are joined by a DVD copy of Trick or Treat - pure '80s wannabe franchise trash that harnessed the mixture of horror and rock 'n roll that have unequivocally been bonded to one another. And with it, a copy of Hack/Slash: Friday the 31st, a compilation of this comic book's first four issues, since going monthly, which finds its heroine, Cassie, and her partner, Vlad, up against a lame-o hair metal band dabbling in Satanic goofiness. All of these things come together thematically and for good reason...I'm heading the set of Jennifer's Body.
