Thanks to Susang, here's the link for the pilot show of Fat Actress.

[trumad]

Watch the first show online for free and make sure you're not drinking anything during the ass smacking scene. Oh and for a bonus, I've provided a post by nothingshocksmeanymore to put the show in accurate perspective.

And that is what she is addressing is the shitty tabloid manner

in which she has been treated. Anyone who knows Hollywood knows that if you are Roseanne and portray your largeness as slovenliness, you can get a role because Hollywood TYPECASTS that role. IF you are Delta Burke or Kirstie Alley and are used to playing leading romantic roles you CANNOT find work even if Marlon Brando could.

That is WHY she went WAY over the top being seen eating in every scene, calling a woman who coaches her to purge and eat tobacco so her stomach bleeds...it's called farce..SO over the top it CAN'T be serious.

That show is Kirstie's FUCK YOU to Hollywood.

Click the link to watch the show.

1. Just can't let it go, huh?

*sigh*

[trumad]

2. If you don't like it then stay the fuck out of the thread.

[Cuban_Liberal]

I'll stay IN any thread I so choose.

Adult temper tantrums earn whatever flames they get.

[trumad]

14. Of course you will

even though you bring absolutely nothing to this thread except your diss of me. That's called stalking.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. Wrong answer.

That's not what it's called at all.

[trumad]

19. Sure it is...

why else would you post in this thread? I've offered a link to people who might want to make up their own minds and watch the show. Again...what is your purpose in this thread?

25. Oh really... so this thread is a hissy fit?

It looks like a thread that gives folks an opportunity to watch the show. Like I said, if that bugs you so damn much, hide the thread.

[Cuban_Liberal]

27. Did I say that?

No, thanks, I think I'll continue to post when, where and as I choose.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

34. Yo trumad. Check your inbox. (nt)

[Misunderestimator]

6. Why shouldn't a good show be given exposure here?

If not for trumad, I might not have watched it... now after the discussion here, I will. Crazy that this should be off-limits.

Thanks for the link, tru!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

I'm out to please everyone. I'm gonna watch that *and* COPS

[Misunderestimator]

29. LMAO

[CatWoman]

37. bad boy, bad boy, whatcha gonna do-o-o-o????

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

38. I'm gonna arrest Trumad for posting this thread and disturbing the peace

[Susang]

40. Oh yeah, what about me?

I found the link, you know! :P

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. Comin ta git ya

[blondeatlast]

3. Haven't seen the show, but I think it's a damn good idea.

More power to her.

Question: Is pay cable the best venue for women actresses? Tracy Ullman, Sex in the City, now this?

[democracyindanger]

5. Pay cable is the best venue, period.

[name not needed]

4. *dons flamesuit*

[CatWoman]

9. HEZBOLLLLLAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crispini]

7. ROFL!

After all this, I may have to watch it myself.

[MikeG]

8. I am sorry that I missed it.

[asthmaticeog]

10. Ugh, it's in WMV, but I'm setting my DVR for Thursday's rerun.

I think the concept is brilliant, can't wait to see it.

[CatWoman]

11. You know, I'm of the opinion

that civilized people should be able to discuss uncomfortable issues in a civilized manner.

But what the fuck do I know?

I admire passion, and people who are passionate about life and its many complexities.

The earlier discussion got very heated because people were very passionate about their views.

Bear in mind that I just :smoke: so tell me to shut the fuck up if you need to. Sometimes I hallucinate and think I'm Socrates.

[Misunderestimator]

12. SOOOOCRAAATEEEEEEZZZZ

[Fenris]

17. Hello, So-crates!

:hi:

Welcome to DU!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. Ok Socrates, just stay away from my ass

nothing goes up there but toilet paper (ok maybe HALF a finger :evilgrin: )

[Left Is Write]

21. Socrates. Is that anything like milk crates?

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I love Melissa Gilbert!

Remember that awesome FOX show she had when FOX was new? It was Simpsons, Married with Children, Herman's Head, and that Melissa Gilbert show in which her husband was in prison?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. One masterful piece of irony was when she calls the weight coach

She is in a neglige with her cleavage showing..she looks beautiful..(hint..in Hollywood skinny women go get surgery to make their breasts look like that) the woman is getting collagen injections to make her lips FATTER. She advises Kirstie to purge, barf and eat tobacco to burn holes in her stomach. The message: You must do UGLY things to yourself to be considered beautiful by Hollywood.

If they gave awards in irony, that scene would get one.

[trumad]

23. Damn Girl

You memorized the show... That's the beauty of the show and that's why I'm propping it so much.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. I think it was smart of Showtime to air it right after SUPERSIZE ME

so that the more discerning viewer could get the point.


on edit: and yeah I do have all the scenes down..any questions?

[Susang]

32. "Bullshit" followed it

About the exercise and weight loss industry.

[Susang]

26. That was my favorite scene

Particularly when she stated that eating too many cigarettes can cause death, but she'd forgotten how many too many is.

[trumad]

28. You do know that was John Travoltas wife?

Kelly Preston.

[Susang]

31. Sure did

Looking mighty frightening, I might add. :scared:

[xmas74]

20. I don't have Showtime-Thanks!

I will watch this when my daughter goes to bed tonight.

[Susang]

24. Hey, I only thought it was fair

That everyone should have the opportunity to see what all the controversy was about and decide for themselves.

[merh]

33. Kirstie Alley said that she got notice that she owed tons of back

taxes and she was fat and she didn't know how she was going to work to pay the taxes and she was depressed for about 4 or 5 days then she decided to do something about it.

I admire the woman for making the show and saying to hollyweird how screwed up they are - fat men can be working actors, but not fat women!

[trumad]

35. Kick

[tjdee]

36. THANK YOU...oh my word, thank you.

I will watch it in a few hours, and then be able to pontificate upon it with all the smugness and high-horsedness I usually have about tv shows.

:)

[Metatron]

39. Thanks, trumad and Susang

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Quite well done.

[Placebo]

42. This show sucks...

and I actually watched the whole first episode.

I need an exorcism now...I feel...dirty.

I want those 30 minutes of my life BACK, dammit!
