**Glitter** (you know you want the DVD!) - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

There is a wealth of releases today, but one that is sure to be overlooked is the critically underrated "Glitter", a touching movie about a backup singer's rise to stardom. Mariah has clearly proven that she is multi-faceted in her range of talents, which is no longer limited to her multi-octave vocals. In time for her long-awaited release, the National Enquirer has decided to provide her with some additional publicity:

Please do yourself a favour: forget the VISTA "Sixth Sense" and "Tombstone"; this is the DVD you
*must* have!

Hey, I didn't pick up Showgirls for it's witty dialog or phenominal acting either. I dig her music so I might scoop this one up if there is some coin left over after Buffy Season 1.

Maybe I should buy it and then throw it at an old man for kicks...

According to Entertainment Weekly's review of the DVD, this is an actual line of dialogue:

"We ask ourselves: Is she white? Is she black? We don't know. She's exotic. I want to see more of her breasts."

They also note that, in his commentary, the director (Vondie Curtis Hall) says it's a timeless experiment involving male implosion. (Yup, he actually did a commentary.)

You know, this may just be the next Showgirls, albeit without all the bare T&A. Then again, without the bare T&A, what good could it possibly be?
