While Cody remains, understandably, a bit perturbed about how the culture a decade ago failed her film—"People constantly talk about how underrated it is now, and I'm like, 'Why didn't anybody go see it at the time?' I'm salty," she told Buzzfeed last year. "I could have made more movies like Jennifer's Body if people had actually f--king gone or had been positive about it"—Kusama's thoughts on it 10 years later sound downright zen.
"I guess over the years, people finally connected to it and I'm so happy that they did," she told Variety. "Of course it was heartbreaking to see the movie be perceived as a failure when I was so proud of it and I think Diablo was so proud of it and Megan and Amanda and Adam [Brody] and Johnny [Simmons,] we were all so happy with it."
She continued, "To have it be kind of slammed, of course that's painful, but I think when I look at a lot of the movies I love, they weren't considered successes, and that's ok, you know. It's really awesome to know that people are rediscovering the film or discovering it for the first time. I'm gonna sound awfully old, but it warms my heart, it seriously warms my heart."
Now what do we have to do to make sure it's not another decade before Jennifer's Body is finally available to stream somewhere?
