Serious Gaff


HEy everybody. 1st I love Mary Carrie. I thought the movie was a great sendup to the old Meyers films. Now then my serious problem with the movie.

Baltimore is not the capital of Maryland. Annapolis is. In the one "love" scene, the old man asks Mary's character a series of questions, one of which is what is the capital of Maryland, She screams out, "Baltimore."

I'm Australian, have never been to the US, and even I knew this little bit of trivia. Just watching the movie now, and actually came here specifically to see if there was a post about it.

I'm guessing its deliberate, just a girl yelling out what's probably the only city in Maryland she has heard of. It's like asking 'What's the capital of Michigan', and someone answering 'Detroit'.



Never defend crap with: "It's just a movie"

Another gaff is you spelling Mary Carey's name wrong.

But the biggest gaff was casting these fat, ugly girls in the movie. The movie was dumb enough to have been fun, but I couldn't take the fugly women in it. Not one of them was the least bit enticing or sexy. Just a bunch of gross fatties. Ugh. Yuck. Gag.

The film is a homage to Russ Meyer's movies of the 60's and 70's; Meyer liked his women curvey, stacked and real and the casting in this movie reflects that - it just wouldn't have worked with the skinny, plastic girls that feature in most movies today. Besides, the film is supposed to be funny rather than erotic but even accounting for personal taste, I'd wager that the likes of Mary Carey and Juliette Clarke are more attractive than any woman you've ever been with (or ever likely too).
