You know???

When she first started hitting the red carpets, that was alll she moaned about,

"they made me so ugly, they made me so ugly..."

I wanted to pop her in damned mouth

But lately she's behaved like she's actually acquired a damn clue and her responses are more along the lines of " Well.. um er uh, in the end I had to trust him so I could authentically live inside my character ""

i saw it today. i thought the movie was as good as most of the reviews said it was, and definitely difficult to sit through.

but it wasn't until that last mo'nique scene that i really teared up. she truly deserves every single compliment she's been getting on her role. she was just so believable, i really hated her ass.

i liked how Lee escaped to those glamorous fantasies whenever something terrible happened to Precious. i just hate seeing that kind of abuse being shown in details on screen.

i also thought the cinematography on the film was really beautiful.

SPOILER

did they really call that baby Mango?

seriously, as Miss.Wiess (Mariah) kept looking at her to make sure she got the name right, i was like ok what do i do with this now?

It's not a spoiler, Boo. You can read that in the reviews and basic plot synopsis. The baby is named MONGO, short for mongoloid .

Mo’Nique Talks Oscars & Responds To “Unfair” Press Allegations

Excerpted from a recent interview with Moviefone, the comedian/talk-show host/actress addresses her accusers below:

- Are you game for the whole campaigning process that the Oscar race sometimes demands?
Well, honestly, I think that the Academy has been given a bad rap. I really do. Because when people say, “It’s political,” well, I’m not a politician. I really think that the Academy has been given a bad rap. They’re humans beings too, and they want to judge the performance. I can’t imagine them judging anything else. What else would you be judging? Do you know?

More below…


- It’s unfortunate, but there are obviously politics involved in the Oscars. Otherwise there wouldn’t be all the campaigning and marketing.
I’ll say this, I’m very comfortable with what I did on that screen. And I really believe that the Academy are human beings that say, “We’re going to judge the performance, because that’s what we give this academy for, the performance.” That’s what I believe.

- There’s been a lot written in the media about you missing a couple movie premieres and not doing enough to promote the film. Do you think that coverage has been fair?
Well, who’s saying that? Because no one can tell me who, Kevin, do you know who they are [laughs]? Because I want to meet them! Who are “they”? Baby, people gonna talk. It comes with the territory. But didn’t they talk about Jesus? Then they killed him. So, what makes me think I’m so special that they’re not gonna talk about me?

- What would you say to the people spreading those reports?
I would ask them, did they see this show? And, I don’t know, maybe they haven’t, because this may not be the show you go on when you want to promote something, but it’s called ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ I don’t know, Kevin, I’m not sure. And then I would say, there’s another show that’s an institution, it’s been around for so long and it’s called ‘The Today Show.’ I did that show, too. Then I did this amazing show with my Italian sister Rachael Ray. Then I did The New York Times, which is supposed to be the biggest print organization in the world. So, what I would say to whoever “they” are is, stop reporting the wrong thing, it’s unfair to the readers.

That's exactly what irks me about Mariah being in this movie - she's so fucking vain that she can't think past her own image to actually bother to get into character & step outside of herself. Granted it's intimidating to be on camera without makeup BUT if that's what's required of the role & what the director wants, a mf needs to make peace w/ that & do what's necessary to play the part. She's really irritating, I don't even think she deserved to be in the film. But water under the bridge, I'm glad he screamed on her ass

Now, that's a bootleg worth getting

That's her roomate? The one you see on the motorbike in the film trailer??? That little boy is fine...not that my old ass was trying to look too hard, but er, ummm

He is FOINE!!

SCNDLS said:

OKAY??!! Fuck that Christian Bale shit! Ehh, I take it back - that was a good one

Lenny's Nurse John character was practically unnecessary. Almost as much as Sherri Shepherd's, but it's not like they were "annoying" per se, so they didn't stick out like sore thumbs but so much.

ok this might be spoiler-ish

i totally loved it when monique tried to turn her shit on her daughter while at Miss.Weiss' office:

"hmm November,, my Scorpio chile, you know these Socrpios they can be very tricky" - woman please

Golden Globe nominations:
Best Movie/Best Actress (Gabi)/Best Supporting Actress (M'onique)

I actually LOATHE movies that deliberately try to draw tears out of you.
Also, I hate Monique and don't care for Mariah.
And I hate the word Precious.
And the Interview with Ellen annoyed me cause Monique makes as many grammatical mistakes as I make spelling errors on here.
I also hate social commentaries that feel too obvioiusly like social commentaries.
I can't stand movies that don't offer a solution.


Basically, this is like 2-girls/one-cup. I know I'm going to end up watching it no matter how much I don't want to, just to see if I can make it through the movie without puking.
