Wash ,'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
In watching this hulu video of Peter Jackson talking about District 9, I was struck by how incredibly thin he is now. In a Stephen King sort of thinner way. Which is not good.
At the very end, he says, 'I quite like Hobbits. I am a Hobbit." I replied, as if he could hear me, "Then have some elevensies dude. Those shoulders are painful to look at!"
Will Glambaby need anything Kuromi?
Um, yeah! What did they have?
Um, yeah! What did they have?
All kinds of stuff. Shoes, little purses and bags, shirts, little toys.
They seem to have retired Badtz Maru, though.
Did Jackson get gastric bypass? He was heavy enough to look like he could benefit from it.
He must have, musn't he? He'd have to have been exercising all his waking hours to lose that much weight without some grave medical condition.
OTOH, he's certainly rich enough now to hire a team of personal trainers, chefs, and dieticians to be with him 24/7.
(My first reaction to his appearance now is that he's looking a whole lot YOUNGER than he did, and is verging on scruffy handsome.)
I have to point out that gastric bypasses, even on extremely heavy people are still quite dangerous and not necessarily better than being fat.

I posted the following in Boxed Set in error, and since hitting 'post', I've seen a few more photos of PJ that don't look quite as sunken as I thought he did in that video, but still...
I immediately thought gastric bypass + naturally stressed out guy = Qtip impression.
He certainly could, I'm assuming, afford a health staff, but if he's got one, they might need to be replaced.
Various reports have him saying that replacing burgers with 'yogurt and muesli' caused him to lose 70 lbs in 10 months.
I just started on a plan to lose 20 lbs in the next 8 months. At his rate, I should be finished by Monday. Phew!
replacing burgers with 'yogurt and muesli'
Ah, Colon Blow.
I assumed gastric bypass, back when I first saw him with the weight off. He'd lost so much, so fast, and looked very much like my coworker who had the stomach stapling.
70 pounds in ten months = 7 pounds a month = 1.6+ pounds per week. Which is not a dangerously fast speed at which to lose weight. Anything up to 2 pounds a week over the long term is fine. (With much larger losses in the first two months or so fine if you are lucky enough for that to happen, and occassional infrequent higher losses after than fine if not too frequent.)
