06.09.09 NIA VARDALOS A VICTIM OF SEXISM, TASTE
Nia Vardalos wants to promote her new movie, My Life in Ruins, but she’s having a hard time of it because men hate seeing women succeed. Why, just listen to this unsubstantiated rumor about what an anonymous man said to her:
Lately, I’ve been in meetings regarding a new script idea I have. A studio executive asked me to change the female lead to a male, because… “women don’t go to movies.” When I pointed out the box office successes of Sex and The City, Mamma Mia, and Obsessed, [she studiously avoids mentioning the most obvious example, the female-led, female-written, female-directed Twilight, for some reason]. he called them “flukes.” He said “don’t quote me on this.” So, I’m telling everybody.
Telling everybody… without mentioning the guy’s name! She’s sacrificing her career on behalf of women everywhere! Girl power!
I’m in a new movie, My Life In Ruins, out in theaters now. It’s a small indie, that was picked up for distribution by a studio (thank you Fox Searchlight.) We’re in one-third, maybe less, about one-quarter of the amount of screens of the big movies…yet we made it into the Top Ten [with a not-that-great $2769 per-theater average]. …My Life In Ruins is the highest testing movie in Fox Searchlight history so we’ve been given a chance. And, the theater owners said they’ll keep the movie in their theaters if people go. [HuffingtonPost via CinemaBlend]
Highest testing movie in Fox Searchlight History? You mean your movie that’s tracking 13% on rottentomatoes? The one from the same studio as The Wrestler, Slumdog Millionaire, Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, Sideways, and Super Troopers? That movie? This conspiracy must go all the way to the top. I bet no one wants to see her succeed because she’s so sassy and female and sort of ethnic.

The Greek half of me wants to see this movie. Fortunately, the non-Greek half is the one in control since they gave me this medicine. Coincidentally, I’m allowed within 500 yards of a school or library now.
The one from the same studio as The Wrestler, Slumdog Millionaire, Juno, Little Miss Sunshine, Sideways, and Super Troopers?
Not so funny meow, are you, you feta cheese smelling wookie-puss?
That “women don’t go to movies” quote was taken grossly out of context.
What he actually said was “Women don’t go to movies if they want their husbands to keep loving and supporting them”.
That’s her butt-secks face.
Ok, we’ll tell the truth, Nia. We don’t want a female lead in your next movie because your depillatory cream budget on the last two films was insane.
I bet she’d like to vote now, too.
Cunt.
Seriously, that banner pic looks like George Lopez in drag.
Vardalos is Greek for “Loud beaver”
If Colonel Sanders got his chicken from General Mills, that would be a Major Coincidence! Just ask Admiral Ackbar:
“IT’S A CRAPLAH!”
Sorry, that banner pic sucked the Risperdal right out of His system.
Donk, I was going with her looking like “RuPablo”.
I never knew that “John Leguizamo in ‘To Wong Foo’” was a look ladies today tried to emulate.
<== Nia before waxing.
Woman on right: Sweet Donkey fucking Christ! Her pit looks like a bucket full of pubes!
Woman on left: It’s like a porcupine fucking a baby bear!
Nia: YOU SHOULD SEE MY FUZZY HYDRA MUFF!!!
Two words come to mind when I think of Greek chicks:
Wolf Pussy.
Nia Vardalos hates dieting, loves pies.
Every twice a year, Nia Vardalos donates hair to “Locks of Love”. That hair goes on to make merkins for cancer patients.
Nia made that pitch wearing four different outfits because she kept overhearing Fox Searchlight execs whispering about “her suit.”
Fun fact: Nia Vardalos was the first woman to purchase a “Free Moustache Rides” T-shirt for personal use.
Shut the fuck up you dumb fake Greek, Canadian bitch, wannabe whore, slut, cunt….wait, what was this about again. I just remember my girlfriend watching “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” like 5000 times in 2 months, that stupid Canadian bitch, wannabe whore, slut, cunt….what are we talking about? Sluts and cunts?
*shatters a plate over Nia Vardalos’ face*
OPA!
The *best* review this movie got on Metacritic (average score 34/100) called it “pleasant if unremarkable.” That’s the highest praise it got. They have to use that quote in the ads.
nia vardalos is the nia vardalos of shitty movies
Fucking whore needs a nose job.
Ha, ha! Is she actually suggesting that WOMEN made Sex & the City and Mamma Mia box office successes? Ha, ha, ha, ha…
Yeah, women with great fashion sense and big, floppy cocks.
The Gays. I’m saying it was the Gays.
My Life In Ruins? Ok, we get it. You’re from Greece.
::knows that she’s not::
I just got a page…
Did someone say “floppy cocks”?
Well I for one am shocked at the misogynistic tone that permeates this post.
I want all the Drunkettes to notice that in this vast sea of derision there stands one island of decency, respect, and appreciation of the fairer sex who chooses not to participate in this orgy of exploitation and subjugation of womankind. And that island is I, TengoDooter. No thanks are necessary but I would really appreciate a blow job.
is she actually insinuating that sarah jessica parker is a woman?
I’m thinking the autoerotic asphyxia ninjas hit the wrong target.
It’s because of greek slop hounds like this, that ancients greek men had unprotected butt sex with younger greek studs, thus setting off a revolution. So thank you Nia Vardolos for giving us Mario Cantone.
I’m drawing way too many corolations here. Point is, “My Life in Ruins” is a laugh fest.
Nia Vardalos’ boyfriend calls eating pussy “going to chucky cheese”
The Greek half of me wants to beat my wife.
Yeah, that still looks an awful lot like a case of surprise rape.
I’d make a comment about how seeing the movie would also be a case of surprise rape on your eyeballs, but I’m guessing that unless you were kidnapped into seeing it, it’s not much of a surprise.
The threatened to bring Nia out naked at the testing if anyone wrote anything bad. true story.
