The opening scene

You can hate this movie. Love this movie. Say what you want, but man the opening scene to this movie is so legit (don't know a better word to describe it). I mean you just feel what she is feeling. You feel how ridiculous and inhumane her "best friend is" and a show like the one she is on truly is.
Every time I randomly come across this i just always get knots in my stomach from the opening scene. I also always wish that she would punch her smug friend in the mouth.
Anyone else?

Totally agree!

Agreed. I don't know if the opening is supposed to be a comment on or parody of these kind of shows but it's brutal to get through. And why on Earth did Rosanna Arquette take that role?
I absolutely do not watch the actual shows myself and cannot understand why anyone would - truly these are the end times.
