Subject: The Truth About Cats and Dogs

First off, I'm 25, a guy, and I weigh more than I would like to. I'm also an atheist, a feminist, a vegetarian, an opera singer, and I rode a mountain bike down the side of Aspen Mountain without breaking my neck. (I did break the bike, though.) End of intro.

So anyway, I was half-watching "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" (I wrote "dongs" by mistake. Heh heh.) tonight on television and something really annoyed me. I'm not commenting on the movie as a whole, which was enjoyable, but the fact that Jeanane Garofalo was the ugly fat girl. This is the only way that JG can play a romantic lead? As the ugly duckling? Please! Now, I like a good Cyrano de Bergerac story just as much as the next guy/gal, but the story falls flat when Cyrano (Garofalo) is hot. The concept of inner beauty and a pilgrim's soul reaching out and captivating the heart of another devoid of corporeal representation loses its poignancy if that person's appearance is in accord with traditional ideas of beauty.
Alright, thus endeth the rant.

Sincerely yours,
N.A.S.T.
