We *highly* recommend, for those who haven’t seen it, the full film of ‘Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story‘ by Todd Haynes*, made entirely with barbie dolls. As Karen gets deeper into her eating disorder, the barbie doll gets strangely thinner, and thinner… it’s brilliant. 

(We know… at least in San Francisco and several other parts of the country, ‘Rainy Days and Mondays’ would have been a more appropriate choice. But you know what? Take what we give you and be grateful.)

*For some reason we don’t get, despite a lot of previous legal wrangling with the Carpenter Estate over illegal use of the songs in the film, which originally prevented Haynes from distributing the movie, it now is available, in its entirety, on Google Video at the above link.
