Seminal horror films sure do cast an imposing shadow, especially for others that try to bear similar fruit in its shade; usually what grows is withered and nothing more than a mere husk of what came before. And some films simply don’t give a horse’s patootie. Welcome to Jennifer (1978), the ultimate Mad Libs homage to Carrie (’76) that, while not in the same league, works as a fun (and somewhat observant) high school horror - with snakes. A whole lot of ‘em.
Released by Aip in May, Jennifer opened to mixed reviews at best and indifference from audiences who felt they’d already been there, DePalma’d that. They weren’t wrong of course; Jennifer gulps thirstily from Carrie’s water fountain, but adds a couple other prevalent genre staples of the ‘70s to arrive at something decidedly weird (and vicious) enough to set itself apart.

Fashion is about more than just the clothing. It's also about the history of fashion, and that history is what tripped up some of the contestants on this week's "Project Runway." As part of the challenge, the designers competed in a fashion quiz, and some of them failed miserably.
“What designer made the popular term ‘Little Black Dress?’” asked Marie Claire editor-in-chief Anne Fulenwider.
Contestant Dom Streater blanked. "Oh shoot," he said. "My teacher’s going to kill me.”
“Why can’t these questions be about wallpaper, or photography?" asked Miranda Kay Levy. "I have no idea about the majority of these questions.”
Because it's a fashion competition, maybe?
The "Lbd" phrase has even become fairly common knowledge, with many people not in the fashion industry knowing that it was Coco Chanel who coined the expression.
In his recap of the episode, Zap2It's Billy Niles slipped in an "Oof" for this lapse in memory.
