how could they even just think she was a virgin?


????nothing screams not virgin as megan cox in this movie! A much more coherent twist would have been if they needed a SLUT,killed her, but she turned out to be a Virgin,instead! But how could they even guess she was a virgin? I pratically stopped following the movie from there.This and "move on dot org"

haha so true. What a bunch of morons.

Meh. Just because a girl is hot and acts sexy means there's no way she's a virgin?? Are you 13?

Two words: Lolo Jones.

Yeah, but odds are if I'm looking for a virgin to sacrifice someone like Jennifer is obviously off the list as I'm simply playing the odds.

reply

A true virgin would not have the knowledge or ability to act THAT sexy.

reply

Well some girls are like that, pretty, sexy, but choosy, thus still a virgin.
But I agree that she wouldn't be the first to pick.

got salt?

I am not saying that hot girls can't be virgin,they sure can,but hey,she was acting all groupie-ish with them.I mean,wtf.Are they suppose to be really stupid?

You know, that actually would be clever.

reply

I believe, in the movie, they made some crude comments about Jennifer and Needy overheard and snapped at them, saying that she was a virgin.

Now, NOTHING about Megan Fox would make me believe that she was a virgin in that movie, no matter what her buddy said, but that's a casting issue.

Why did Needy do this? Was it that she didn't want them to take Jennifer home for the night or that she thought she was standing up for her?

reply

I suspect she thought she was standing up for her, thinking that she didn't want others talking crap about her friend. Which is sad, because that's what kind of doomed her.

reply

Thanks @lena

I did think Needy was strange to say it.

It's not strange at all.

Jennifer was Needy's closest friend. And Needy didn't want people thinking that her friend was a slut. Needy was sticking up for Jennifer. But the results were ironic.

D'oh! I messed up the above post the other day....

Let me add that Jennifer wanted to hook-up with Nikolai; and, I think that Needy was being possessive and jealous. Considering the kiss that Needy and Jennifer share later, I think Needy was in love with Jennifer; so, she was probably being protective as well.

Either way, Nikolai and Dirk were regarding Jennifer as an object. They were not thinking of her as a complete person. As both Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama are Feminists, I think that furnishes a context for this scene as well.

In my experience, the hotter a high school girl is the more likely she is to be a virgin. It's the lesser attractive girls who have sex for attention. The hot girls get it anyway.

That was basically his reason for wrongfully thinking she was a virgin, even though his band mate referred to Needy as "Jan Brady". He said he's known girls like Jennifer who look like that but do NOT give it up. They didn't even consider Needy who was in fact a virgin. At least then she still was.

If you were paying attention, he thought she was a virgin cause he thought she was a tease.
