Nine

I saw the movie Nine last night and here's the bottom line: I would watch Daniel Day Lewis do anything, even sing not very good songs in a distracting Italian accent (even roll around in a wheelbarrow as a spastic quadriplegic). I wish this movie would have been better, but it eventually won me over to a certain degree. I enjoyed it much more than Avatar because it doesn't have any creepy CGI, excluding Sophia Loren. What I was most troubled by in Nine is how fat Fergie looked onscreen. I kept thinking about how much thinner than me she is in real life, and how super fat I would look onscreen. It was discouraging.

She doesn't look fat here. Wait until you see her in Nine.

As for Guido Contini, the main character in the movie--he needs to get some male friends.

  1. I had read she'd gained 20-25 pounds specifically for the roll. So, maybe you're good?

  2. I also heard that she had to gain weight for the role. So you are totally good.

    You don't have a fat face.

  4. Wait, where are the little knitted characters with button eyes?

  5. I recently started going to aerobics again. It's been awhile. It was very disturbing to see what I REALLY look like in that many full-length mirrors! So thanks for the tip not to EVER see myself onscreen!

  6. Per the first couple of comments, that's what they told me too. That to play the role of mother of 2, I needed to put on a few more pounds. That's why I had pumpkin pie for lunch.

  7. We saw Nine on Broadway years ago, but feared that the film would disappoint. Glad you could eek some pleasure out of it.

  8. I also love Daniel Day Lewis..even a bad acting moment or two for him would still make me watch any movie he's leading.
