Premise: This story revolves around the daily lives of three waitresses (Sorvino, Carey, Walters) who work at a restaurant run by the mafia (where the secret item on the menu is drugs), and end up getting involved with their bosses' "business".

Premise Note: (8/23/01) Army Archerd of Variety has reported something that most people would call a "spoiler." Scroll over the following white space to see the general gist of the story: (Writing about the recent mental stress that Mariah Carey has been dealing with, Army reports that the ending has been changed. Originally, the three waitress died at the end, but now (presumably), they don't.)

As long as Mariah Carey's in it, it will never pass. You can lead the public to a movie, but you can't make them watch. This movie will fail for a variety of reasons.

And don't think Mira Sorvino will manage to rescue it. Nobody cares about her either.

[Kal-el]

Why Mariah? Why, why, why??? Maybe if she had a decent shower scene or something. I wouldn't watch her for her acting skills, that's for sure.

LOL, stuff like this gets greenlit and we can't get a decent Batman movie made.

"Don't get her the knife!!"

I hate it when the voices in my head get PO'ed at crap like this and play 'suicidal manic depressive -- poor upset boyfriend' with the rest of me.

You mean those voices are bad? Wierd, my voices and me just sit back and have a good laugh after something like that. :D

Back on topic....

Only pop star that I have seen who can actually act (too bad she can't sing, lol.) is Jennifer Lopez, but I think her acting career was before her singing career. Although lately she seems to have lost the ability to act, she was pretty good in Anaconda.

Nah. I got 7 voices like the seven dwarfs running around in my head. One lazy one, one peace loving pothead, one wise sage, one depressed disenchanted teen, one frantic panicking person, one musician/poet, one enraged protester, and one crotchety old lady. None of them are bad, just products of a bad homelife and too many Meatlovers Pizzas with Extra Cheese. :D

Why are they making this film? 'Glitter' bombed completely at the box office. Just because you had a pretty face doesn't mean you can act. I hope the three waitresses die at the end, because then there is a reduced chance that Carey will come back in a sequel. Not 'absolutely no chance,' because I think they are still trying to bring Jack back from the dead.

Peace and Rock 'n' Roll
