I do post on political boards 😢 ah... the only topics I steer clear of are cars and football. 😁 everything else catches my interest—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. 😍
I’ve got a few red bumps myself, and I actually just picked one off! Am I going to be okay? I heard somewhere that if you mess with a mole, it could potentially trigger cancer.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I figured I’d keep it here rather than starting a whole new topic. How can you actually tell if you have a slow metabolism versus a fast one? For me, my digestive system kicks into high gear almost immediately after I even think about eating. 😬 Does that count as a fast metabolism? Also, I find it incredibly difficult to put on any weight.
Wow, I didn't even realize there was a Black version of this?? 😍 I definitely need to check this out! I absolutely love Black actors and their sense of humor! 😁

Angelina absolutely crushed this role, even if I’m not really a fan of her acting style—it feels like she cares way more about looking hot than actually digging into the emotions of the scene.
I have to agree
velvetwolf42 said:Since we’re already talking about her, here are some pics just so we can all stare at that face. Personally? I think Angelina is a billion times hotter.
I suspect that’s exactly why they cast Angelina. Her presence was far more captivating to audiences than anything involving Gigi. Honestly, it feels like Gigi's entire storyline was relegated to the background. It feels like this movie was made right when Angela was hitting her stride; it served as the perfect springboard for her subsequent career. She simply radiates sex appeal.
lonelynx44 said:Her addiction was easily her biggest mistake—and man, did she pay for it. Between the health issues, losing the love of her life, and watching everyone walk away while her dignity just vanished... it was brutal. But hey, even after paying the price for those massive life blunders, she actually found some joy in the little things... right at the very end. Which just goes to show... that's life, I guess! 😉 I’m not impressed by the fact that she struggled with drugs; I’m impressed that she actually clawed her way back and found something positive after being completely wrecked. If she had just died from an overdose without ever turning it around, then the movies and her whole life story would’ve been pointless—then I could've called her just another spoiled rich girl. But this way? She showed the raw reality of both her misery and the happiness she found in the middle of it all... 🙂
Haha, sure, we can play along with that fantasy if we want. It’s like when I stub my toe and tell myself, "It's fine, no big deal," just to try and cope—but let's be honest, it still hurts like hell. She isn't some damn superhero. She’s just another wealthy socialite who never learned how to steer her own life because she always had someone there to play nanny for her.
stormystag43 said:Ugh, please. People worship Kurt Cobain too, even though he was just a narcissistic junkie and a terrible singer. If a guy is captivated by a movie, why is that even a problem? It seems like everyone is obsessed with junkies, killers, scammers, frauds, and all sorts of other societal trash.
I honestly can't wrap my head around how people manage to find awe in things that lack even a shred of logic or common sense.👎
The movie centers on some spoiled, run-of-the-mill model named Gigi Caringa. I took a look at her photos online—nothing special. Angelina is a hundred times more stunning, and she didn't have to wreck her life with heroin to get there. Plenty of us grew up in broken homes with constant fighting, yet we didn't turn out as infantile as this Caringa woman. I don't doubt Angelina's acting skills for a second, and I certainly don't doubt the validity of the whole situation regarding Gigi’s childish, reckless, and irrational behavior, which caused her to spiral so quickly simply due to her own stupidity.
It's a shame there's always someone around ready to idolize that kind of thing...
Let me ask you all something: what exactly is there to admire in this film specifically regarding the story or the script?
If we set aside Angelina's beauty and her performance—because if you focus on those, you're admiring her talent rather than what she was actually trying to convey through the film!
