Oh I think it recommended that to me. Thanks, I’ll have a looksie!

Liked this :point_up: because of the word “looksie”.

I’ve been watching Season 2 this week, it’s pretty good! Especially if you’re a Marc Maron fan, I think this is the best thing he’s done.

Oh yeah, he´s fantastic in it. Having so much fun in his role.

Also so far (I´m 4 episodes in at the moment) it again has quite a bit of “Alison Brie trying to talk in a deep man´s voice”, which is always too funny. :joy:

Yeah, she’s also why I love this show. Loved her in community. It’s hilarious how they’re deliberately trying to make her look unattractive in Glow.

Yeah because it´s the point of the director who can´t make his mind up about her looks at the beginning. But at worst she looks like she lacked a few good nights of sleep.

In America even people who are supposed to be ugly in shows are not ugly and they are played by pretty and handsome people all the same.

In the Italian Fantozzi movies, the titular character’s extremely ugly daughter was played by a man.

And his wife was played in three of the movies by Marge Simpson’s voice actor (this is for @milanfahrnholz) .

The Irish/British Comedy show, ‘Mrs Browns Boys’ main character is also played by a man. In the U.K we have actors who are ugly in real life, like people. But in the USA you couldn’t become an actor if you were ugly. There must be about a handful of ugly people in Hollywood and aside from Julia Roberts they are all men. Not very fair, is it?

I know right? Just take Clint Howard.

I mean look at the guy. Surely enough he must have…like…an ugly niece or something.

While Julia Roberts might not be the most beautiful woman ever, if that is your standard for “ugly”, you never saw ugly women :stuck_out_tongue:

Just my personal taste, but I like her niece better who also luckily does look nothing like her dad.

Back to Glow. I absolutly loved the part when Ruth rehearsed alone at home and tried to come up with a female Wrestling persona.

“Premenstrual syndrome! She’s MOODY! Now she needs a nap!”

Oh I have. But, she looks like a man. They call her beautiful in Hollywood. But I’ve always found her oversized ears nose and lips a turn off. ‘Pretty Woman’ was an Ironic title.

Especially if you remember the scene from Weird Science that Roy Orbison song was famously used for 5 years before that Geere/Roberts dud.

So, today I’ll watch a movie with my wife and kids (3, 5).

Which one? Candidates are The Lego Movie, Over the Hedge, Shrek, Monsters vs. Aliens, Barbie of Swan Lake, The Swan Princess, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

Please don’t answer Barbie of Swan Lake.

You should create a poll. Otherwise: What @tasse-tee said!

I pick Shrek too, though with the disclaimer that it’s the only one out of those I’ve seen.

:open_mouth:

But, but, but they are all must-have-seens. Except the Barbie film(s)…

Are they? Can’t I just watch something violent instead?
