Shouldn't there be a rule about just how crappy of a movie someone that beautiful can star in? I'm not asking for much. It doesn't have to be Oscar caliber or anything, just watchable.

I've spent 30+ years of my life as a Cubs fan, give me something here. Please.

Thanks.

Dear Whitney,

The movie gods care not what you say. They do not listen! They do not respond to us, no matter how we beseech them. I have tried, believe me. Take Colin Firth, for example. For every one fabulous thing he's done (Pride & Prejudice, Girl With a Pearl Earring, Love Actually, The Importance of Being Earnest) he has done something twice as horrible to go with it. And I have sat through every stinking one of them: Nanny McPhee, which I must admit I did like a little -- do not judge me -- Hope Springs (Heather Graham!!), What a Girl Wants, The Last Legion... I finally stopped. I have not seen Mamma Mia!. Can you blame me? I could not stand to watch. Jude Law is another case in point. From Cold Mountain to Alfie? Wait, I can't lie. I would watch Jude Law in just about anything.

Still, I say that the movie gods just don't care what we say.

Love,
Deebs
