I was like a really big Hole fan when I was about 14. There's an awesome song on their second album called Jennifer's Body. This movie is a horror movie about indie bands, satan and the fucked up relationship girls have with each other in high school. The lady who wrote Juno wrote it. I wonder if she ever stripped to a Hole song?
Have you seen Big Love? I'm trying to remember what else the daughter is in, but in JB she plays a nerd with a boyfriend and a best friend who is a not nice person and also a cheerleader.
Okay, I realize I'm gonna hafta tell you the whole story, so this is the spoiler alarm ringing!
It starts out totally sweet with the nerd in jail and you're all, I thought the cheerleader is the demonmurderer, what's this?
The cheerleader is the demonmurderer but the nerd is the demonmurderermurderer. The cheerleader and the nerd go see an indie band in their town called Devil's Kettle. Yikes! The indie band sacrifices the cheerleader who says she's a virgin at the Devil's Kettle waterfallbottomless pit because they get so sick of touring and trying to make it that they get into occult shit to make it happen for themselves. Anyway, she's so not a virgin and so she ends up becoming a scary demon that vomits tar and eats quarterbacks. It's not okay but not too bad until she goes after the nerd's boyfriend and starts messing with the nerd cos the nerd is onto her game. The nerd also found the occult section at the library, just like the indie band, so she finds out the story. And then she sets about taking the cheerleader demon down at the big dance. There're some good parts, I enjoyed it, it got pretty silly and dumb but at times was selfaware. I like the satanic indie band thing. They did get famous. I like the girllovehate thing. I like that a Hole song played at the end but I was bummed that it was Violet and not Jennifer's Body. Anyway, the nerd wins but all anybody ever sees is that she kills the cheerleader. Bummer for the nerd. She gets some demon powers though, for the kill, so in addition to spitting on everyone at juvy and kicking everyone else, she can also float. Neat, huh?
