Cheat To Win

Is this still a thing?  It is, right?

This photo is important and should be proliferated.

Every day I take a bitter pill that gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains
The ones I have from day to day
To help me think a little less about the things I miss
To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this

Best scene from the entire movie.

I DON’T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING! I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY!

And now a word from our sponsor…

Her work in Bridesmaids is far trickier than she’s been given credit for: In any given scene, she veers skillfully from comedy to I-hate-myself pathos, sometimes from syllable to syllable. Wiig’s comedic bona fides are well-established (her ten-minute argument with a customer — a DVD outtake! — is a total tour de force), but Oscar ought to be responsive to how well she pulls off the film’s numerous dramatic moments. That cupcake scene! The surprisingly dramatic last 30 minutes of the movie! Critics lined up last season behind Lesley Manville’s mostly improvised sad single in Another Year, so why are they not falling for Wiig, who not only pulled off the same feat but wrote almost everyone else’s dialogue as well?

Not sure I would agree with Kyle that she was the best performance of the year, but she was certainly one of the best.  I also agree with the need to recognize that incredible screenplay.  Fingers crossed the film gets some kind of recognition in early 2012.
