Aaaah, that's why I didn't comment on Gillian Guess, I hadn't seen it before spamming this entry ;)
And ya, weird it is indeed. But I didn't get the sense of "Well, that was kinda dumb,". Quite the opposite, really. Loved how it dealt with "mass media" as represented thru the crazy-ass talk show. The interview as a battle and - at the same time - always all about entertaining the viewer. I quite liked how the film kept building the sense that the main heroine had been wronged and misunderstood, only to turn it around in the end and expose the story for what it was - not a glossy, fantasy tale of tabloid proportions but just a normal, fucked-up, delusional person suddenly finding herself in the limelight.
And dude! Glitter!Hugh rawked ;) He was brilliant as this sort-of Jerry Springer clone.
