If She Didn't Turn Into a Vegetable, It Wouldn't Be Winning Shit

Million Dollar Baby's taking home a bunch of awards.

Makes me wonder, if Swank didn't turn into a dependent vegetable at the end, would the movie have made such a splash?

You know, I'm thinking... not.

Well jeez, blow the ending for us all, willya?

I think I mentioned here before somewhere, if you really want to see something funny, see Swank in "Another Karate Kid". Whew. Wish her character had been a vegetable from the start of that one.

So I take it you didn't like the movie?

Or, given your other recent posts, perhaps if her trainer and manager had been Thelma and Louise? ;)

Dude.

Louise would have been the BEST BOXING TRAINER EVER!!

The first 2/3rds of Million Dollar Baby's OK - I ranted about it a few weeks ago. But frankly, the vegetable thing made me so pissed off that I didn't care if I spoiled it...

Wait, did she become a vegetable through boxing, or through a congenial disease? Because if it's option #1, I'm gonna be pissed.

BTW, from the Ebert/Roeper treatment, I thought the "surprise" ending was going to be that Clint Eastwood was her father.
