seriously guys

ok ok, i am aware that some of you have it in for Mariah, and that before this tape even hits the VCR you're screaming "IT SUCKS!" , but i believe that you actually have to WATCH the movie before you can hate on it. Sure maybe the plot is a little thin, but it's a helluva lot better than some of the *beep* I've seen lately..namely that Will Smith Martin Lawrence sequel. But back to Glitter, it you aren't a slightly wistful person with even a grain of imagination don't waste your time, but if you truly believe that along with the bad comes the good and that miracles really do happen, watch it, and forget what everyone else said, make up your own mind.
