OH THE RAGE

Ok, there's a related article with a different point of view as well, but still THE RAGE. IT BURNS.

(Worst of all, I suspect it burns most because I have a deep-rooted belief that he's telling the truth. I dislike my RAGE being directed at myself.)

who is this writer and who are the women he is spending time with as they sure as hell don't sound like 99% of women in either the UK or the US

then again all the women in the US he spends time with has $1500 dollars a month to spend on beauty products and the Women in the UK have 4 drug dealers on speed dial so clearly he lives in the real world

He's a US screenwriter who we've never heard of, so clearly spends all his time with wannabe starlets who realise that the only way they'll get a bit part in a straight-to-cable film is to be skeletal and plastic.

I'd *like* to spend £750 a month on looking good, but I have neither the money or the time.

I think if I had a spare £750 a month I would be doing IMHO better things with it than getting my hair done, you are right about the time though who has that time even if they have the money!

It vaguely worries me that women spend that much time/money grooming.

I have to admit that if I had £750 a month extra, I'd still spend next to nothing on beauty products. And it's not that I don't occasionally get the "wargh I look awful" thing, it's just that I know if I start doing that shit I'll have to keep up to it, and I'm way too lazy for that...

You look amazing anyway, so save the money.

That's a relief, I was worrying my best friend was going to turn into the American version...

"who is this writer"
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1475075/
- a two-bit screenwriter with not much to his name.

[professoryaffle.livejournal.com]

so he rewrote a bad English screenplay to be a bad American screenplay clearly a man whose opinions are highly sought after

After some Googling I found that movie was also produced by his brother. LOL. Didn't even get it on his own merits.
