Is it too much to ask to not have 130lb straight white women playing everyone? Including Asians, fat women, lesbians, trans men... hell I’m sure they’d try black women if that weren’t shamed heavily year after year. I know its acting but god... there are other actors who are never even given a chance before we just…

Eun-Soo is the Romanization of Ms. Lim’s given name, not her family name.

I’d rather watch Branagh’s Orient Express another ten times through than sit through another Malkovich Poirot.

My love for that movie is irrational and strong.

Instead of putting skinny actresses in a fat suit, they can just, you know, hire a fat actress. It’s not rocket science. 

But nobody HAS to wear a fat suit. They can hire a fat actor, who will move more naturally than someone wearing fake poundage.

I think people are starting to view women in fat suits in the same way they’re viewing casting for cisgender actors to play trans roles, or “abled” actors playing people with disabilities - it’s more about the idea that there are some people who don’t get represented very often on screen, and it would be great if we…

Competitive figure skating is a cutthroat, er, cut-leg sport. 

It’s great that he has the discipline to do this but these dramatic weight losses and gains, usually accomplished way too quickly, are extremely stressful on your internal organs. I hope he doesn't drop dead in 10 or 15 years but I wouldn't be at all surprised. 

I rather enjoyed Peter Ustinov. He had such a wonderful personality and character.

The character’s weight isn’t really an issue in the movie (can’t remember if it’s even referenced at all at any point during the film). The point of the fat suit(and the fake nose) would just be to make Moore look more like Lee Israel, since there isn’t even the slightest resemblance between the two.

Fact: She’s a genuinely great person, but she probably was done a solid by not doing the fat suit and nose.

No idea I refuse to watch it. It was bad enough suffering through Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express

I always have stars for David Suchet who is the only true Hercule Poirot. John Malkovich can f*ck right off

Never say never to fat-suits! I am just nearing the end of the Hercule Poirot series, and only just noticed that David Suchet wore a fatsuit throughout the years. It’s so well done.

It wasn’t Nicole Holofcener’s first time directing a movie (I love Walking & Talking—her first feature—and I have to watch it every few years).

Well, if that’s the real reason she was fired then congrats to them. We always complain about a lack of representation and how they could just hire an actor that fits the role instead of pulling stunts like this. Sounds like they did the right thing.

“It’s fun. I want to make climate change fun. People don’t care about it, because we’re being guilted. I see the polar bear and want to kill myself. No one wants to look at it, you know? I want to make a reason to look at it. I want to make it beautiful.”

I’ve read enough of his articles to know that they usually leave a sour taste in my mouth.

There’s a very thin line between “this medical stuff is weird and gross” and “the people who have these conditions are weird and gross.”
