and "poverty porn" is some sort of bona fide link. it was underlined and in blue. i didn't click it on - no telling where it goes.

this is case where i don't think dana is actually against capturing poverty on film. or a prisoner of her white middle class upbrringing.

call it "too clever by half", or believing that she's too hip to be square.

and that's the problem - she's trying to hard. she's truly unable to recognize great acting and writing. she sits in a darkened room, scribbling notes, working off some sort of self-induced equation to try and decide the value of the film she's seeing.

or maybe she's was (or is) just a fat girl who feels uncomfortable seeing other fat girls make it good?

(just kidding dana - you definitely strike me as the sort of person who is too thin and too white)
