Marrying George Clooney

having just finished watching PRECIOUS, which truly deeply took my breath away, i of course play this game sometime late at night… the what if scenario:
what if: two films were really one film.

example: NO COUNTRY FOR A FISH CALLED WANDA

i know, i know, silly, childish  (such fun) … but still, when you’re up at 6 am, and your husband is sleeping soundly next to you, childish is more than okay with me.
so here goes:

“It’s Precious”

The story of one middle aged overweight, under-loved, undervalued, teetering on the verge of midlife insanity – smack dab in a massive crisis – not to mention living in a tiny crammed apartment, in dire need of a new/renovated kitchen.  looking desperately for a contractor to remodel her small kitchen, juggling a few complicated balls in the air, going back to school to get her GED, a family that gives new meaning to truly being fucked up and horrific; she’s straddled with two babies, an over-bearing completely self absorbed evil mother. Working double shifts, going back to school, all so she can get a job working @ Target for Issac Mizrahi.
Throw in a couple of lesbians, sexual awakening, bad men, kids that need pre-school and diapers, a great social worker and the added eye candy of a (sexually unavailable) contractor who looks exactly like Lenny Kravitz and sings like Lenny Kravitz…
throw that all together ….
and you’ve got one major, complicated, humungous midlife crisis.
IT’S PRECIOUS
starring M’onique & Meryl Streep, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, Jack Nicholson as Issac Mizrahi

and Daniel Day Lewis as… Precious.
