I finished reading Waltzing The Cat by Pam Houston. Outstanding book, empowering and hopeful. The metaphorical content in this book is interesting, I plan to read it again and take notes, plus I love the author's method of communicating from Lucy's (main carachter) perspective.
Max and I watched SherryBaby together, well told story of a woman with a complex history who wants to make it right with her family. Melancholy certainly, but it felt authentic. Maggie G did a fantastic job acting this part, I'm actually quiet shocked to be honest. She really made it work, these are the roles I would totally go after if I was an actress. Of course, I'd have to loose about 100 lbs and get a boob lift. I watched another movie with an extremely tiny Christina Ricci, too skinny. I'm going whoa, it's getting worse. The waif actress syndrome, here I thought it was getting better. Christina Ricci has always been petite, but well proportioned. She looked like death warmed over in this part, it's hard for me to believe how thin these woman must really be b/c the camera warps the body anyway. Such a bunch of bullshit, NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THAT! Some people are born naturally thin, most aren't. Most of us have hips, bellies, thighs and hips. And in my case, lots of junk in the trunk! Booties are sexy if you ask me, these girls have no booties...just skinny little tiny bodies that look more like 14 year old boys then a full grown woman. Our culture is so twisted.
Anyway, the book was great and I'd recommend it to anyone and the movie also for sure.
