The club scene was necessary to show how alienated Chieko was from even her own friends. I haven't seen the film in about a month, so it's not clear, but I remember being incredible moved by it.

And, let's get the facts straight. Star didn't have gastric bypass. You're just a hater.

Oh, mayonnaise is the perfect food! It is amazing and I can't imaging a better thing to eat. Unless you put it on a sandwich or mix it in an egg or tuna salad...but other than that it is PERFECT and I wouldn't change a THING about it!

It IS the perfect food.

All your nutrients are there.

It's expecially amazing if you dip a stick of butter in it. Sueleen, it is then that you have tasted heaven. AMAZING.

Sueleen, you are really funny. I really love your witty sense of humor. For the other people that are mean and crack horrible fat jokes, etc. Listen:
-ANY, and I mean *ANY* movie could have been better or shorter, for example, Babel's producer/ director, could have said "I want this movie to be 10 shorter" and I'd probably have still loved Babel. Makes sense?
I think there is always a posibility for a film, or for us as people, for example to be a better person, we could have always done something better than we did. Yet, we did the best we could and it worked for better or worse.

I'm sorry.

Gastric bypass, stomach band, 'pilates'... I guess those are sensitive subjcts to some people.

I like to eat fries with mayo.

I marinate my chicken in mayo before I fry it.

Star dieted, did pilates, and worked out. She did NOT have surgery, okay? God.

Me too, Revolutionary. Ideally with a bit of chipotle sauce in the mayo to give it that kick.

I disliked the movie on many levels but the reason I kept my ass in my seat was because of the actors. Even though I thought the Japanese storyline was the weakest one, everyone's performances were spot on.

Deep fried mayonnaise chicken served with mayonnaise dipped butter. So good that even Star would want to reverse her gastric bypass for a taste of that.

Sometimes I like to stick a spatula into a gigantic tub of industrial sized mayonnaise and then I'll slather it all over my face and lick off all the mayo that my tongue can reach.

Part of the reason i thought the wedding scene was too long is b/c i had previous knowledge of where that story was heading and wanted it to get to the dramatic moments. If I had seen the film without knowing anything, I probably would have been totaly enthralled by every second of it.
I try to avoid spoilers, but with all the award-lovin it got it was difficult for me to shut it out.(and I admit I may have even searched for spoilers in this case due to all the praise).
Anyhoo, as a stand alone scene I did think the wedding was nice, although I could have done without the chicken neck snapping).

"Priest, you should know by now that trying to get a point across to Muscle is like trying to snatch a vat of mayonaise away from Star Jones."

Sometime the point is so obvious that I feel obligated to at least try.

Interesting points of view.

While I can agree that it could be a little hard to see why Cheiko was the focus and not her father, the movie would have totally have been less interesting without her.

Now my question is, What happened to Santino (or was it Santiago), Gael Garcia-Bernal's character?
