'Butter' - Movie Review

2/25/2022

1 Comment

 
It's only February, but perhaps one of the most obtuse movies to come out in 2022 is Butter - based on the Erin Jade Lange novel of the same name - which tells the story of a fat high schooler who is bullied so severely "he plans an incredible social media stunt that will risk his life" inadvertently gaining him attention and popularity.
"As the day arrives can he really do it?" 
The screenplay, written by Paul A. Kaufman who also directs the movie, is surprisingly not a dark comedy, nor a satire. It's a straight-forward attempt at a Young Adult feel-good coming-of-age story starring newcomer Alex Kersting alongside icons like Mira Sorvino and Mykelti Willliamson.

Peacemaker Season Finale - Why End on Fatphobia?

2/18/2022

0 Comments

 
HBO Max's Peacemaker series wrapped up its first season today with an epic showdown between our team of misfits and the alien butterflies infiltrating Earth. As the episode unfolded, audiences are treated to scenes of badassery, especially from the kickass character of Leota Adebayo, played beautifully by Danielle Brooks. 
Picture
As each of the 8 episodes ended, a mid-credits scene was tacked on with an extra bit of humor that likely was cut from the episode for time. For some reason though, this final episode, tied up the season with fatphobia and "concern trolling".
All I can ask is: Why?!

Another Day, Another Fat Suit

2/13/2022

It feels like just yesterday when Sarah Paulson publicly admitted regret in adding padding to play Linda Tripp for Impeachment: American Crime Story. Yet Renee Zellweger, star and producer of NBC's The Thing About Pam, is also fat-suiting up for the title role of Pam. 
Picture
During NBC's Press Day last week, journalist Whitney Friedlander craftily asked the question many of us have been wondering since the first "Renee Zellweger Unrecognizable" headlines appeared about a week prior: Why cast Renee Zellweger in a fat suit instead of a fat actor?
