The Secret Life of Mary-Margaret: Portrait of a Bulimic

MaryWHOREGARET
Because cigarettes=thin.

Thanks to my wonderfully educational and eventful current health topics class, I was able to be exposed to this exceptionally well shot and brilliantly written movie.

Haha, Just kidding!

This movie was creepy. Mary-Margaret, the main character and anorexic/bulimic/binge eater likes to narrate her own story. The voice she uses it almost terrifying, and it was like I was hearing a narration from the Saw movies, but instead it was this fine ass hoe. She sounded bloodthirsty, but in reality she was just insane. Throughout the course of the movie, she finds dumber and dumber ways to make her problem more noticeable. She goes from throwing up into the toilet, to throwing up in jars and putting them in her closet. She then gathers them up once a week or so, and throws them into this nasty swamp lake. It was really creepy.

The climax of the creepiness comes even before that, though. Mary-Margaret goes on her first date with this dreamy football player, and it cuts to a makeout scene where he's kissing all over her face, and she's just sitting there stone-faced, eyes wide open, staring out the front window. I guess she was thinking less about the guys erect penis, and more about how ugly she must've looked since he was kissing off all of her makeup. It was certainly chilling, and the worst part is: She broke up with him, and he didn't dump her creepy ass. I don't understand this at all. I would have taken her home and locked my doors or something.

When it comes down to it, this movie is just a very, very odd movie about a bulimic woman struggling with several eating disorders. Her binge eating is especially odd, as she could've just ate healthy foods instead of downing a bag of doritos and whipped cream (at the same time) and then throwing it all up. I feel like a small salad might've been lovely, but unfortunately Mary-Margaret cannot resist the X-TREME that is Doritos. I think that since she didn't let the doritos digest, the X-TREME inside of them just lingered about her body, as the raw form of X-TREME cannot be expelled unless in the form of stool or extreme sports.

If this movie is a Netflix streaming movie, then I recommend it. Any other forms of this movie would be complete crap. This movie is slightly better than a B Horror movie, and I just so happen to love most of those.

But this movie kind of sucked...

Edit:! This entire movie is on YOUTUBE!

Looks like it clocks in just around half an hour, so if you have that time to kill, go for it.

  1. You watch some strange stuff in your health class. I only got to see depressing documentaries about lung transplants gone wrong.

    It's not on Netflix, by the way.
