Whither Megan Fox? My "secret" got out, and I feel like a guy who told the paper about his favorite lunch spot, only to have them run an article that drove so much business there that I can't even get a seat at my old table. FHM and Maxim may have only gotten a clue this year, but they aren't the only two mags with "Top 100" lists.
In 2005, I compiled my own little list, and listed the Megan Fox that Michael Bay thought "no one had ever heard of" as #2 on my list of "Top 100 Sexiest Famous Women In America," which I published on my website. This was based on her super-sexy, and super-SMART performance in Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen. That the role left an impression on no one else didn't matter; I'm a guy, and know world-class sexy when I see it. Did Megan Fox CARE that I ranked here there? Of course not. She did, however, hit up one of the big magazines' hot-100 parties, as a reward for their being three years behind the internet, and a list created specifically to "scoop" the "big lists." Mission accomplished on all counts.
Fast-forward to now, and EVERYONE sees what I saw in 2005. Was Megan Fox UGLY back then? No. Then why was she OFF these lists entirely? The media just brainwashes men into confusing fame with being hot, and now she has both, so it's easier to see her physical supremacy. I can't even fantasize about her anymore without feeling like the whole world is watching. Tsk. For those who care, in 2005 the woman I ranked at #1 was Chrishell Stausse, a newcomer to All My Children who is still going strong, and who is about as sexy as Fox, but without the fame (yet). I figure that scoop is forthcoming around 2012.
This is relevant to Jennifer's Body because Megan Fox is still the *second* sexiest "famous" woman in America, and now she has made the *second* sexiest horror film ever. Like Fox herself was in 2005, an unknown talent, in an unknown internet film, trumped this big-studio attempt at an "abreactive mind-control" horror film, in every category.
The film is called "hypnothings." It can be found on the internet, from a producer named Kismet. It contains genuine hypnosis, of an extremely sexy nature, with the lead actress using the exact "bambi" voice that Fox spoke of using for her character, only to produce a much stronger (actual hypnosis) reaction in the viewer, if the viewer chooses to go under. The actress from hypnothings, Marta McGonagle (now a rising star of her own), is hotter than Megan Fox. Her voice is sexier than Megan Fox, and she has even more of a "supernatural power" over men, like the one Fox brags of. McGonagle is superior to Fox in every way, shape and form, but the two of them are superior to the rest of the world, by a much larger margin. Hypnothings (if you go under to it) is way superior to Jennifer's Body (which is of the "implied" nature that Hollywood loves to mail it in with) is less cerebral, with less of an impact on the viewer. The plots are not identical, but the psychological space in which the lead actress took herself in each film, is.
That McGonagle languishes in obscurity, while Fox is "#1 sexy" is a crime against nature. Put her in ANY role claimed by Fox, and she would do just as well, if not better. She's just SEXIER, but, like Fox in 2005, unless she's on the Big Media radar, the public will not become aware of her, and that's sad. Everything Megan Fox wishes she were, Marta McGonagle already IS, just like Fox was as hot, if not hotter, back in 2005, than she is now. Fox also thinks she is "controversial," or "cutting edge," but by internet standards, she has mainstreamed herself into a lame joke by comparison, one in which she has become her own punch line. Fox herself is too busy for much of an internet presence, or maybe she knows that she's not cut out for this jungle, where the pay is lower, the hours are longer, the work is more true to art than business, and where "implied sexy" no longer cuts it.
If Fox thinks her "deadly Bambi" voice is seductively deadly, she should check out a copy of Hypnothings sometime. McGonagle already ran for a touchdown with that ball, while Fox barely made it to the first-down market. Here you have two actresses, with essentially the same looks, doing essentially the same things, and the same fame/income imbalance that plagues the entertainment industry as a whole, and will continue to do so until Hollywood is finally done spending yesterday's money, and goes broke, forcing its "A-list" to begin to seek work out here.
