The Mirror Has Two Faces

It's just a movie OP.

I'm curious how you thought I was implying anything to the contrary, r1.

We often discuss movies here.

This movie felt like middle age frau fan fiction.

I don't understand people who chime in with "it's just a movie/TV show" in a discussion. Do they think they're clever? Or above it all? I don't get it.

Christ, I was fucking fabulous.

Care to elaborate, OP?

BARBRA!

The Mirror has Two Feces... where do I even f****** begin with this piece of trash?

First of all, this formulaic garbage for lonely middle-aged spinsters features two of the most arrogant, unlikable ogres in the history of Hollywood,: Streisand and Bacall.

Streisand, the most repellent major actress for so many decades now made yet another self-indulgent piece of crap. The movie isn't about love in general, it's specifically about Barbra's undying, limitless and infinite love toward herself - though like most narcissists, that is probably largely based on a deeply repressed sense of low self-worth. In this asinine movie she is supposed to be younger than Mimi Rogers, which is so extremely pathetic that it's actually funny.

Equally pathetic/funny/ridiculous is the fact that Barbra gets to smooch with Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Bridges, two guys who would in reality sooner vomit than kiss her. There is an unintentionally funny scene in which Bridges lists why he is so attracted to Barbra: he says something like "I love her eyes... her mouth... " and at this point he made a pause and we all know what part of her he was thinking about!

Don't you at least enjoy the dramatic transformation of Barbra as she loses three and a half pounds and perms her hair?

Also, I think this is the last movie Jeff Bridges was hot in, so there's that.

FLAVAH

I can't decide which was worse, this or The Prince of Tides?

She smoked in this. Gross.

I still love the description of it in "Buyer & Cellar," when a character points out they indicate she's supposed to be a smart Columbia professor because they show her having written the name "FOUCAULT" on a blackboard.

It's a middle aged romcom- nothing more, nothing less- and it was succ$$ful. It was not NY film critics proof cinema art. R8 is a twisted troll. I don't think there is one celebrated person from any realm who I could light into like that apart from Adolf Hitler, Roy Cohn, Trump and that ilk. Given Streisand's documented philanthropy now and in the past, much in service of the gay and lesbian community- well- R8 is sick.
