I came upon a post today on mancouch.com titled "If a Real Woman Has Curves, What Does a Real Man Have?"

No my note is not going to be on what a "real man" has. Nor am I here to discuss whether I think a curvy woman is a real woman. I am here to give you my definition of curvy.

Curvy does not equal fat.
Fat does not equal curvy.

They are 2 different things! I don't know about you but when I think curvy woman I think hourglass shape. As in they have a bust to waist ratio of .7 or pretty close, and a waist to hip ratio of the same number--hence the hourglass shape. They are not fat. Actually it is a proportional and healthy shape, for the most part. That means whether you have a 42 inch bust or a 32, if your proportions match up, numerically speaking, you're the definition of hourglass curvy.

There are also those upside down triangle shaped ladies with a bigger bust compared to the rest of their body, and the more desirable pear shape, with hips as the largest.

But I dislike it when fat people call themselves curvy. Oh yeah you got curves, rolls of them. That sounds harsh I'm sure but it's true. Curvy, can be attractive but fat is NOT. I do think that heavy women who know how to dress properly can look beautiful. But the point of the charm in being curvy is that you're curvy in certain places, NOT everywhere.

I'm not trying to put down fat people. I'm just trying to state a difference.

I don't need to hear "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" bc I realize that. And half of that has to do with the person's personality as well. I'm only talking about outer-ness lol right now.

When I think curvy, I think attractive. People can't call fat curvy bc it's not attractive.
If you're not curvy or fat then that's perfectly fine! Just as long as not you're no claiming you're cuvy or fat.

Above is an American Apparel model featured in enough clothing styles to piss me off.
Who the fuck is she?! She SUCKS as a model. Her body shape makes you NOT want to buy the clothes. I mean come on, at least learn how to lean on a hip a little if you're a total box-shape. and her face! ugh look at it. If she was trying to go for that neutral-nonchalant-natural look, she obviously failed. And there are models on AA that do it better. A good model doesn't have to be pretty, or even have the best body, but this girl sucks. I kinda wanna get her fired xD

"My daughter and I went to the movie and were so struck by the POWERFUL music that I went out and immediately bought the soundtrack. Where are all those songs the penguins sang? And what about those great mixes? When are these movie folks going to realize that we don't want to hear singers performing songs that were not in the movie--I don't care who they are. We want to hear the same people who sang in the movie, singing on the soundtrack. This makes no sense to me and made even less sense to my 4 year old daughter, who was hugely disappointed with the bulk of the songs on the cd.

We wanted to hear more of the penguin songs and less of the background songs that no one cares about (i.e. "Beach Boys"). If I wanted to hear the Beach Boys, I'd go out and buy their cd. Put something on the soundtrack cd that we can't get anywhere else and forget that old stuff we can get any time we want to.

"Boogie Wonderland," "Somebody to Love" and "Kiss/Heartbreak Hotel" are the only truly awesome songs with actual "Penguin" voices that you will hear on this soundtrack--although "Kiss/Heartbreak" had a much better mix on screen. There is one Robin Williams song, but it was much better in the movie too.

Except for "Boogie Wonderland" (which ends abruptly) you miss out on the great STOMP, tap and mix effects that were so overpowering in the movie.

Let's hope they put a lot more of the original stuff on 2nd soundtrack coming out and get it right"

 the above was written by a reviewer named Karen Link for the OST for "Happy Feet".

I had to post this up because I think it's sooo effing true! There are plenty of great soundtracks out there that do capture the essence of the film which they have musically enhanced, but there are also a handful that just don't do it. Why? Because there are stupid songs that weren't even in the movie! Having the first song that plays the minute the credits roll on the album, okay I understand, and often it's the song featured in the trailers as well. But the 2nd, 3rd, 4th song? Come on, like anyone sits in the theater going "Ooh credits time! I'm gonna sit here and absorb all the music so when I find it on the OST I can think of everyone's name on the screen!"

How does music get released exactly? Why can't someone that wasn't part of creating/or featured in the soundtrack review it? Is it really about promoting the artist whose song was too softly playing in the bg for anyone to notice?

I'd like the composer of an album to ask me, or any average person "What songs stood out in the movie? What, when you hear it, will remind u of it? What made the movie?"

If every OST stuck to the songs that stood out, and were IN the movie, bad OST reviews wouldn't exist. If you liked the movie, you'd like the soundtrack. end of story.
