I imagine the only difference would be that m all the pre-recorded bits were ones that had previously aired. They do that all the time already.

All these years I thought that Goldie would’ve been Roxie and Madonna would’ve been Velma.

(It’s in the article you’re commenting on, too.)

There was this issue. The url was going to a 404. AV Club fixed it. It was nice to see. 

Ana de Armas is great in the role if you think Marilyn Monroe spent her life unsuccessfully hiding that she was a native Spanish speaker.

That’s a legend. She attended the premiere and the film itself. 

Oh.

What are YOU talking about?

It’s definitely okay to take anything Sharon Stone says with a grain of salt.

Lol. What’s up with all the pedantry in the comments about burgling and robbing and thieving?

Only if you pronounce it wrong. 

Well, no, because fat people actually exist in the world. Mermaids do not.

But fat people actually exist in the world. Mermaids do not.

I think - and I could be wrong, because I’m clearly not nearly as smart as the people around here - that the difference is that fat people actually exist and mermaids don’t. 

Are people demanding specifically that a 600 pound man from the Midwest play the role or just that an overweight actor should have played the role?

The point being if your only response to the criticism is “the playwright knows what it was like to be this person! QED!” then you are wrong.

People are really wilding in the comments when there is absolutely no indication anywhere on the internet that the playwright was anywhere close to 600 pounds, or even heavy in adulthood. Everything about his life says he was a fat kid.

The playwright was never 600 lbs, either. He was an overweight kid. 

Oh, so an animated person.
