    Fuck … so wrong. But still much preferred to the tired old “I threw up in my mouth a little” response.

    Thank you thank you thank you for putting that up. I missed the show and while the liveblogging was hilarious, I needed the images to make the experience complete. Those were the only parts I wanted to see, anyway. Bless you.

    Oddly enough, despite all the crazy yelling scenes, the one that cracks me up the most is Rosie’s quiet moment when she says “You’re gonna wake up! You’re gonna wake up!”

    a real treat

    we are real afficiana-TARDO’s and enjoyed the highlight reel.

    Rosie was EP of the flick — if she wasn’t the BOSS — any other director would have asked:
    what the HELL are you doing ?!!
    Your character is NOT deaf & lose the baby talk!

    I heard she went with Gunner Peterson to get in shape for this role. Could we expel her from the country? She has really lost all touch with reality.

    i didn’t watch the movie but this montage reconfirms exactly why i chose to skip it.

    i teach special education and i have NEVER experienced anything like this. thank you, rosie o’donnell, for taking every single stereotype about the mentally challenged and rolling them into one shitty piece of acting. this is almost as self serving as ty and his extreme makeover crew.

    good god.

    Some people should be put on a national reserve list of possible candidates for hostage exchange. Rosie O’Donnell without this performance makes the list – with this performance she tops it.

    God. From my experience with the, shall we say, differently challenged, she’s a little clean. And a tad strident. Where’s Mickey Rooney when you need him? (That would be fun- Rosie vs. the original Bill- death match)

    maybe the real Beth has similiar mannerisms to what Rosie did in the movie. I dunno, just a thought.

    stereotypes are stereotypes because they’re sometimes true, y’know?

    that being said, from what I’ve read/seen (thank you, TVgasm!), I still don’t think it was a very good movie — regardless of Rosie’s performance. I’ve never liked Andie McDowall; she almost ruined “Four Weddings and a Funeral” for me, and I’m all about British humor and charming cads like Hugh Grant.
    eh.

    Everybody who was involved in this Hallmark (Hell-Marked) catastrophe should get their Screen Actors Guild cards (and Directors Guild cards, etc., etc.) yanked away from them immediately. The cards should not just be taken away, but torched and then flushed down the john … appropriate, since toilets had such a huge presence in the movie. (Hey, they had more presence than the ‘actors’ did.)

    She suffers from voice immodulation.

    Either that, or her character is related to Apprentice 3′s Chris. The “ALWAYS YELLING” syndrome.

    I just watched it again. I have to thank you guys for sitting through that and making the collage up. I don’t know how you could watch that and not have ended the night both homicidal and suicidal. I did see two minutes if the show before I had to change the channel … but how could you not include the scene of Rosie sitting on the bench, crying and eating that donut? High comedy!

    and then she stops the talk, scream) and does shit.

    ……………..
    Rosie/Beth:
    “I SPEAK FACTS! YES SIR, I AM A RETARD, AND THAT IS A FACT !!! YES, SIR, I AM A HOMOSEXUAL, BUT I PLAY THE CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE THAT LIKES THE BLACK MEN!”

    I can’t get out of my mind that she wants to “do things” to the Fresh Prince himself. For that, I am sure I am going to need some serious time with a shrink to block out the mental image.

    Posted May 4, 2005 at 8:45 am

    When she shouts like that, she sounds like Ray Romano.

    What I liked best about the clip, though, was how subtle and restrained Rosie’s performance was. Masterfully understated.

    You know, I just watched Hope & Crosby’s “The Road to Morocco” a few nights ago, which contains a scene early on in which Hope pretends to be a ‘tard so as to procure free gifts from superstitious A-rabs. Jesus, I thought. You could never get away with this sort of business today.

    What was I thinking? Bob Hope is Corky-level verisimilitude compared to Rosie. This caricature is ten times crueler than Hope’s, and Hope was AIMING for cruelty. I am amazed, and unable to get through the last third.

I’m sure all the live blogging was hilarious, but you still had to sit through that crapola.

    I don’t know what you people are talking about – Rosie O’Donnell gives a thoughtful, provocative, insightful and thoroughly realized portrait of an overage, overplayed and overpayed lesbian comic who has no other venue than to pay people to watch her overindulge filmed for the three people who still adore her….

    No lie: I didn’t know what this was at first … and didn’t even realize it was part of a movie. I just thought it was Rosie being Rosie.

    Which maybe it is, since she’s such a big fucking retard anyway.

    Revolting. Positively REVOLTING. There are two ways to play a retarded person, and she’s just shown us the wrong way.

    Is it wrong to say I want her to die?
