WHHHYY, Kate, whhhyy?!?! (A Katherine Heigl tsk-tsking thread)

1/4 of a million people are following her on twitter.

If it''s her, and not an intern.

But we have a gage on what sort of person she is byond all the crap.

She liked "Friends with Kids"

Did you like friends with kids?

I liked Friends with Kids.

Well that's somewhere to begin from.

Knocked Up sure was great, whether she thought so or not.

I consider myself a pretty big Katherine Heigl fan

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!

Yeah.. seriously. The first few seasons of Greys Anatomy with the original cast were both hilarious and dramatic and had some really good episodes.

Part of the charm was Heigl who played her part so well that she really became one of the stars of the show who made herself a name (and was the center of perhaps the best season finale of the show).

After burning the bridge with Greys Anatomy she was typecast as a sort of next Meg Ryan.. cute, all american girl who gets to do one romcom after the other and it is doubtful she'll ever break out of that corner (or even if she wants to.. even if the movies suck it's a steady paycheck).

Finally someone who actually watched the show. My reply was more of a joke than a serious comment. 'Seriously" is a beaten to death catchphrase on the show.

Jesus Christ, I thought more people would have realized this by now.

Also how can you be a big Katherine Heigl, and still haven't seen Greys Anatomy? That show pretty much made her career.

Barring a freakish coincidence, only a fan of Kathrine would repeatedly use the word "seriously" when referencing her Dream.

HEY!

She's been gone for so long.

But Meredith had a dream about a fractured reality half way through last season where her mum had hooked up with Webber in the 80s and things turned out differently.

Apparently rather than that "I am Spartacus" rally with how the kids stuck together about who cut the lstat wire, Meredith outright ratted/reported Izzy as a crazy lady, and she's now a wanted fugitive wandering the back roads of America with Denny Duchette's rotting heart in a sandal bag over her shoulder.

Whoever wrote that text, seriously doesn't like Kathrine.

Tried watching Grey's. Hated the twenty minutes I saw.

So I consider myself a pretty big Katherine Heigl fan, considering I've seen exactly none of her TV work and only one and a half of her movies. (The "half" being Knocked Up, which I abandoned in disgust, and I was pleased to hear her slamming it, also.)

That said, while I am a bit curious to see One for the Money, in spite of the lukewarm reviews, it is undeniable true that, following her terrific performance in the ridiculously entertaining 27 Dresses (I don't mind a well-done total froth of a rom-com from time to time, especially if it stars Cyclops and features Elton John karaoke).

So, you "abandoned Knocked Up in disgust" halfway through the movie because it was so sexist (I'm betting you just took Heigl's perspective on that and applied retroactive disgust), but you enjoy 27 Dresses which features the always the bridesmaid never the bride, woman works tirelessly for others without thought of herself, women are obsessed with marriage, women who focus on their jobs can never be happy, women backstab and lie to get men, guys who act like dicks are usually your soulmate in disguise, and a perfect wedding equals a perfect marriage clichés?

27 Dresses? Is that some kind of prequel to Bridesmaids?

Yes. I can accept all those chick-flick chliches and impossibilities in the same way that I can accept that James Bond will always outrun hundreds of bullets and have a supervillain to fight. But what I can't accept is how Heigl's character kept associating with Rogen's, in spite of how awful and mean he was to her.

In a rom-com, everything is secondary to the main pairing. And Heigl and Cyclops worked for me, so I enjoyed it.

Knocked up was a Seth Rogan movie.

He just needed a blonde to fall in love with his fat ass.

 

[Mooch]

I think the only thing I've seen her in is Roswell, but I liked her in Roswell. Does that make me a Heigl fan?

Pretty much this. I liked Knocked Up, too.
