Or watch Nic Cage act (which by the way, is like sticking needles into my fucking eyeballs).<br /><br />i don't know if we can find truly independent films in this country; they're at the very least distributed by Hollywood-machine-types, and I gotta believe they'll dirty them up with suggestions.<br /><br />you know me: long live independent art; un-touched, un-redacted by anyone other than the artist himself/herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-46157450337899410162010-03-15T18:41:31.256-04:002010-03-15T18:41:31.256-04:00Glad you enjoyed the movie.

There are probably 10 TV shows that ONLY talk about this shit. Get real peeps. How do you talk about this girl without discussing how she looks? She definitely would NOT have gotten the role if she looked like Haly (sp?)

I think the issue is not whether or not the girl needs to lose weight. It's that the industry has decided she HAS to. If she wants to, fine. No one is saying it wouldn't be healthier. But it's her decision. She doesn't exist as a human being so we can tell her how to look.Bridget Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729980008876962813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-4777195163091048972010-03-15T11:37:19.738-04:002010-03-15T11:37:19.738-04:00hmmm i haven't seen the movie but have seen he...hmmm i haven't seen the movie but have seen her on tv.. distorted? naw, whoever said that has distorted views... maybe they should take a look in the mirror! also consider the source that said she is distorted..lolKalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18122582.post-65714516198028856572010-03-15T11:13:29.540-04:002010-03-15T11:13:29.540-04:00I haven't seen the movie but have seen Gaboure...I haven't seen the movie but have seen Gabourey interviewed a couple of times and am impressed with her. What a great personality and, obviously, she's talented. But, face it, she's way too fat. There are limited roles for her but that's not the main problem. If she stays that fat she'll be unhealthy and/or unhappy. There's nothing good about being that fat. She hit the lottery, getting that role. I hope she uses this temporary high to get healthy rather than continue her bad habits. I saw her, after the Oscars, say that, one of the first things she was going to do was hit the chic filet franchise real hard. I don't know what chic filet is but I'm quite sure it's not a weight loss program.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626884939818771077noreply@blogger.com
