I watch Biggest Loser as much as I can since right now I'm tryin to go healthy and lose weight. I'm pissed as all hell that Jillian's gone, but I'll take the blonde ***** I suppose.
I'm also watching the Australian Biggest Loser which is very inspirational, a lot more real.

Buxy, please understand that I say this with the utmost love and respect for you...
What the **** are you smoking? You're thinner than I am, and I've been accused of being anorexic for most of my life. Healthy eating? Fine. But you don't need to lose weight, as you are very pretty the way you are.

Seeing "The United States of Leland" inspired me to hate life for a while, "Oldboy" inspired me not ever watch anyone engaged in incest on purpose cause they might come back for revenge on me later in life when I am a businessman, and, joking aside, "Clerks" inspired me to actually consider screenwriting as a CAREER option.

The movie American Psycho motivated me to take better care of my skin and opened my eyes to various products.
Clerks and Mallrats motivated me to talk more openly about things I was ashamed of liking.
Singled Out motivated me to buy various Jenny McCarthy posters.

Hahahaha I love you but I'm not skinnier than you. I'm just good with camera angles. I'm in the "average" to "pushing obese" range, believe it or not. I'm working on it!!!! Being healthy is the biggest part of it though.
TechTV totally made me get into computer and because of that I went into computer science.

I found the movie American Psycho to be very motivating but in regards to skin care.

First thing that comes to mind is that Jackass inspired me and a couple of friends to race a shopping-cart down a hill. Didn't really cause any injuries, just some trashed clothes and a couple of bruises.

The 4 Corners of Nowhere inspired me to join the Green Party. Up until that time I thought there were only the two political parties. After reading more about them I thought hell yeah. I AM a green party person.
Though I don't hug trees. I **** them.
