"BIG MOMMA" -- Disgusted!



Recommended Posts

Okay I just have to vent this... am I the only one TOTALLY DISGUSTED by the commercials and the whole premise of this movie? Well, I don't really know the premise of it and don't intend to since I would never go see it, but as far as I can see from the commercials it's all about how funny a black guy dressed up as a big, fat woman is.

WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT??!!

I honestly feel like picketing. Or better yet, throwing egg salad at the people waiting in line.

Why don't I see anyone in the media saying anything about this? Is it just me? Possibly I'm oversensitive and am the only one who feels this way.

Am I???

Kare,

Relax sweetie....they arent pokin fun of big people. Martin Lawrence, the guy thats in the "fat suit" is an under cover agent. I saw the first one, not the second one......and he is impersonating an old school~ African American woman from the South. I didn't see the second one, so they could have changed the story line....but the first one was done respectfully. I had a simular reaction to that Johnny Knoxville movie "The Ringer"....because my son has Down syndrome and I thought the whole movie would have been spoofing off of people with disablities. Thank God it was done gracefully and the Special Olympics even sponcered the movie!!! I didn't see it yet...I look forward to seeing it some day soon, but my brother went. They do say the word Retard and retarded in the beginning, but it was to show how other people treat people, it wasn't ment directly at the actors with Down syndrome, as I understand it.

I hope this has helped ward The Rubber Truck ~~ Its nice to see people with passion though....Id be right there with ya throwing something at em if it was disrespectful....:puke:

We saw it at the drive in on Saturday night with the kids. It was soooo bad, lol. It will be a flop anyhow, wont be on the screens for long.

It's no different to any other stereotypical movie though. Legally Blonde was on the telly last night, that's just as bad. If you're blonde or good looking you cant possibly have a brain type of thing.

Well, I don't really think making fun of fat people is the same as making fun of blondes, but it seems like I'm the only one this bothers so I'll just grit my teeth and bear it.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

You are not the only one hun! I get bothered at the same things and I think that most people just don't read into it. But people like you and me do. Trust me, I think they should make a movie and call it "The anorexic super model"!!! LOL:hungry:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
