I love Melissa McCarthy. So does my husband. NEVER did her size summon anything negative. In fact I think he has the hots for her!
Melissa McCarthy's "Identity Thief" opened to record
numbers making it one of the best attended debuts of a comedy in all time. But Rex Reed, a curmudgeon of a man, did not
just bash her movie—instead he called her a female
hippo, obese, tractor sized and "comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with
equal success."
Have you ever sen this man? Google his name. He ain't no lightweight. RUTHLESS REX came out of his closet, one he knows well, to steal her moment. But "Rex, the shoplifter Reed," knows
all about stealing. (Rex Reed blames his arrest on fever of
forgetfulness", USA Today, February 17, 2000.) He called it a lapse Did he also forget where his ass had been? I'm sure it's been in a lot more compromising
places than this woman a larger-than-life Melissa has been.
Then again I ask what other corpulent male actors have he done this deed to- I mean the
bashing. Did he ever think about vilifying Hitchcock, Dom, DeLuise, Jack
Black, Orson Wells or NATHAN LANE for their girth?
He wrote,
"The snafus in
the worst road movie since The Guilt Trip plunge Mr. Bateman and his female hippo into a motel with only a
double bed, a grotesque sex scene with a pickled reprobate she picks up in a
bar who demands a threesome, a violent bar fight that bloodies his nose, a
kidnapping, a multi-car collision going the wrong way on the freeway … but why
go on? They seem to be making it up as they go along, in a movie that threatens
never to end. . . Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) is a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese
and obnoxious with equal success. . . Poor
Jason Bateman. How did an actor so charming, talented, attractive and versatile
get stuck in so much dreck? From
Rex, are you jealous?
Cacophonous,
you also called her.
ca·coph·o·nous
[kuh-kof-uh-nuhs] adjective
Having a harsh or discordant sound.
That's
what YOUR words summon. They assaulted
my ears just as much as fag, drunkard, junkie, or shit-packer might. I raised five children and the're all
better behaved than you. Is this your
regular paradigm for treating a bad movie review? Insult the qualities, attributes or the
personal-self of the actors? What if the
actor was an alcoholic or drug addict? How about gay?
Well, Mr. Reed, this is some kind of strange (I could have used another word and given you a taste of
your own medicine) bias you've shown.
Slam the movie, but debasing the actress for her appearance? It seems like you've been stuck in a lot of
dreck (Shit in Yiddish) yourself. You should
know better.
Then you used the constitution to fortify your dreck-filled
mouth. YOU of all people! And I'm not talking about the oppressed group
of idiots and shoplifters. Just take you
old ass to the boonies and see how much of those farm boys and cow hands would
take kindly to you. Truth is—my skinny ass would be right
at your side.
"Saying that his jerky comments are "constitutionally
protected, so there's nothing anybody can do," Reed dragged out a
conspiracy theory claiming that Universal Pictures was using his review to
leverage moviegoers to buy tickets."
On Twitter, Paul Feig, who directed McCarthy in Bridesmaids
and The Heat, wrote, "I cordially invite Mr. Rex Reed to go fuck
himself." (From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_Reed
)
I think your miserable self has been doing that- for a long
time.
Rex Reed is a figment in his own imagination.
I just asked my husband to read this. "Yeah, I love funny women. Maybe Melissa might get a chance with me. .
