fembuckYou know what's better than a hooker with a heart of gold? Two hookers with hearts of gold, who are in love with each other!
Other things I've learned from The Dead Girl...
1. If an old lady is throwing clothes into a fire, you should NOT yell "Don't take off anything more!" because she will! And you definitely shouldn't mutter, "No, no, please, no more!" because then there will be boobs and you and your friend will look at each other uncomfortably and then ignore what just happened on screen by eating a spring roll.
2. You can know exactly what a character is going to be like by the actor playing the role. Toni Collette played a homely woman with issues. Giovonni Ribisi played an awkward, creepy character with social interaction issues. Rose Byrne played a serious girl who was often weepy and rarely smiled ... and was a doctor. Brittany Murphy played a drugged up crack ho. Marcia Gay Harden played a put upon woman with a southern accent. Mary Steenburgen was shrill. Piper Laurie played a crazy, mean old lady. And Kerry Washington played a crack ho ... um, okay that one was against typecasting. Usually Kerry Washington plays smartly dressed executives, smartly dressed blind women, or streetwise mothers.
3. Brittany Murphy can act. Trust me I was as shocked as anyone else. She literally had me in tears at the end. Brittany Murphy! I can't wait until dogs start walking people, and fish build reverse boats and hunt us for sport.
Also, despite this post, The Dead Girl was a really good movie that I would totally recommend. And the crack ho's really are in love.
