Good news: Lindsay Hollister got a lead role!

StickMan · 10-26-2010, 07:33 AM

Bad news: the film is called "Blubberella" and is being directed by Uwe Boll.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...ht-Swordswoman

What makes me sad is that this could have been a decent popcorn flick with the added bonus of having a lovely plus-sized actress in the lead role, but Boll's just going to fill it with fat jokes and run it into the ground.

Uwe Boll's very presence is enough to drive any movie into the ground, guaranteed. He is the cinematic kiss of death.

furious styles · 10-26-2010, 06:14 PM

this can't be real. even for boll this can't be real

In the words of Kurt Russell as MacCready in 1982's The Thing, ''You've got to fuckin' kidding me..."

Lindsey Hollister is talented and beautiful actress; her tango with Steve Carrell was a highlight of the 2006 film version of Get Smart, she deserves better than to star in Uwe Boll's latest cinematic abortion. Why the hell do studios in Germany keep giving this idiot their Deutschmarks when his films are invariably sucky and almost guaranteed to bomb? As much as I would like to see a movie starring a BBW superheroine (I've always had a thing for Big Bertha from the Great Lakes Avengers), this looks like it's going to be pure fatsplotation, just jokes about her weight and eating habits posing as female/size empowerment. All in all, Blubberella just looks like more cinematic feces from Toilet Boll. Be sure to let me know how it turns out.

Perhaps so, but she's SOOOO cute! I'll rent it for sure!

furious styles · 10-26-2010, 10:22 PM

also the first line of OP's post made this probably the greatest good news / bad news bait and switch in the history of this forum or the internet.

(also i pictured his avatar saying both lines)

Actually, that was a line from Palmer, played by David Clennon, and was "You gotta be fuckin' kidding."

Scene in question. Caution, really freaky graphic content.

Sorry to nitpick, but it's one of my absolute favorite movies of all time.

This is going to be crazy bad.

Not to put a damper on your good post, but it wasn't MacCready who said it...that was Palmer after Norris' head turned into a spider lol

Um, thanks?

I just figured people ought to know about this. I figure it'll be terrible, but if by some miracle it turns out to be somewhat better than bad I'll netflix it.

disconnectedsmile · 10-27-2010, 01:19 PM

i can already tell this is going to be a 90 minute fat joke. to say nothing of the fact that Uwe Boll is a shit film director.

however, i'd be lying if i said i didn't wanna watch the hell out of this movie.

I know, I got the quote wrong. It's been a dog's age since I last saw John Carpenter's The Thing remake.

I'll definitely watch it again over Halloween weekend. But getting back to my point, I stand by my opinion that Lindsey has far too talent, charm and cuteness to waste in that latest Boll-shit movie.

Brenda · 10-27-2010, 07:44 PM

On the bright side I now know what I will dress up as for Halloween.

bmann0413 · 10-27-2010, 10:25 PM

... I am upset. But she does look good in that costume with those swords.

b01 · 10-29-2010, 04:35 PM

DAMN! I think this is below her, but I think I can understand why she would take such a crappy role. What else are you gonna do when you REALLY want to be an actor, but directors won't cast you in a serious roll, because they think society doesn't like you because of the way you look.

Until a succession of positive plus-sized actor/actress steal America's hearts on the big screen, things like this will continue to happen. Fat actors have to stop being the butt of the jokes in every show/movie if they want to be taken seriously.

Point to note, I watched the first episode of law and order UK, and there were 3 plus-sized women they had on the screen for more than 3 seconds at a time. In america, they usually just flash the screen at a plus-sized actor, so you only get a glimpse. It's like it is some un-written rule they is must be done, unless the show is about fat people specifically.

I want to watch it because she is so beautiful, but I won't because I do NOT want to support crap like this. We also have to do our part and not support crap movies like this, if we do, they'll just make more for us to consume. Fellas, stop letting your pituitary gland control what you'll stoop to.

I thought Lindsay Hollister was all principled and shit. My mistake...

I <3 the idea of a fat super-heroine so much!
(So much I even drew a webcomic way back when...
Although, my superheroine is a yakuza assassin... No, really...
http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~drj....html#cartoons )

And I like the strapline:
"She will kick major ass - with her major ass."

Yes, it will I'm sure, suck.
But I'll probably still watch some on YouTube.

Also, Lindsay Hollister has got it going on...

Nexis · 11-02-2010, 11:12 AM

I'm personally uncertain if this is just a joke, but unfortunately there is the possibility that this is gonna be a real movie to which I'm pretty bummed that Bowell is going to take this movie and basically run it into the ground, especially with such a talented actress.

Apparently Uwe Boll actually made a serious, pseudo-documentary film about the genocide in Darfur...
And he got actual rape victims... to play the part of... rape victims...

http://blog.moviefone.com/2009/11/02...movie-trailer/

It seems he continues to get movie funding, because:
"He gets funding because of a weird thing in the German tax laws. If people invest money in a movie & the movie fails, they get to right off the money they invested PLUS a loss, so it lowers all their taxes for the year.

THAT is why Uwe's movies are SO bad... if they MADE money, his investors would LOSE. His movies HAVE to fail. That's why he doesn't even try to make good ones."

The world economy at it's worst, and I'm sure this won't do well for Lindsay's career image with Bowell directing her.

She could write a script, work in theatre, work in radio, direct, produce, star in an independent film. Failing that she could quit and do something else with her life. The whole: 'Oh the fat girl had to take the emotionally and verbally abusive role because there's nothing else!' excuse is pathetic.
