Martha Inc.
 
NBC is doing a movie on Martha Stewart, who is being played by Cybil Shepard. I just saw the preview, eventhough it's supposed to be a drama, I was laughing at it.

May watch it if nothing else good on.

I hate Martha Stewart. If this movie is out to slam her then I'm definitely watching it!!

I'm going to watch it
 
And I need to buy the book, Martha Inc. I was just at "Kmartha" the other day, bought mini-ice-cube trays. Great for martinis.
;) :p

This tv movie looks like it will be cheesy in a good way. She is screaming that she wanted Merlot. lol! My bf worked for Martha for a while and said that everyone was terrified of her. She screamed and cursed like a sailor at everyone.

I can't WAIT to see this!!! :D

Peaches-n-Cream 05-16-2003 09:32 PM

Merlot! I'll never be able to keep a straight face when I drink merlot. :p

I totally want to see this! Too bad I want be home... I always thought Martha was kind of a not-nice-person. Did anyone ever see the episode where she made the Barbie Doll birthday cake with the neighbor girl (or her niece, I can't remember)? It's where you put a doll in a bundt cake and frost the cake like a ball gown. It was so funny... she was totally trying not to snap at the little 6-year-old because she wasn't doing a good enough job decorating the cake. She yelled at her because she only wanted pink sprinkles on the cake and the little girl put multi-colored on!

Movie just started.

Dionysus 05-19-2003 09:26 PM

It's only aired for like 7 minutes and I already laughed hysterically....I can't believe they are portraying her like this. :eek:

Peaches-n-Cream 05-19-2003 10:02 PM

I can't watch it because I am with my boyfriend. He used to work for her so he does not want to see it. He lived the torture of Martha. :p

You should've recorded it, lol.

SATX*APhi 05-19-2003 10:35 PM

I'm watching the game. :D My Spurs mean just a tad bit more to me than Martha. :p

AXO_MOM_3 05-19-2003 10:55 PM

Martha needs to go to jail!

texas*princess 05-19-2003 11:01 PM

i heard a rumor that Rosie (O'donnell) is just as crazy :p

LeslieAGD 05-19-2003 11:36 PM

So, what did everyone think?

I thought it was well done, but I almost wish it had been three hours so it could have gone into more detail. I felt a little cut off at the end.

The1calledTKE 05-19-2003 11:39 PM

Pretty good, I think I think she probably is even more cold in real life.

33girl 05-20-2003 12:27 AM

I didn't remember her being involved w/ KMart for that long, but I looked online at her bios and that was true...I wasn't aware she was w/ them before her magazine or TV show.

They could have definitely done 3 hours on this. The one with Shirley MacLaine playing Mary Kay was better (and of course not quite as mean).

thesweetestone 05-20-2003 03:47 AM

I like Martha Stewart. This movie was a little chessy though.

ladybug1116 05-20-2003 11:20 AM

I thought the movie was pretty blah. I saw her "True Hollywood Story" on E! several months back and thought it was much more informative. Also the show on E! made her look even more cold and heartless...I want to say it might have even been a 2 hour episode.

Steeltrap 05-20-2003 11:39 AM

My thoughts on Martha
 
It wasn't bad. I would have liked to seen more adult Martha rather than teenage, pre-fame Martha. Cybill Shepherd did a credible job.

As I watched it, I was reading
Just Desserts, a more gossipy unauthorized bio of M.S.

I heard the same thing. A girl in one of my clases interned for her, and she was telling us that Rosie worked the interns like mad and made outrageous demands.

Peaches-n-Cream 05-20-2003 12:49 PM

Now I wish that I had watched it. I saw the end, maybe the last 20 minutes. I kind of feel bad for her.

When I was in the Hamptons, she hit one of her neighbors with her car. Her daughter opened a gym that was so strict that people started to quit. Her daughter was slapped in the face by a boyfriend and tried to press charges, but the police didn't pursue it. My sister and mother spotted MS shopping in the Big K-Mart out there.

CatStarESP4 05-23-2003 06:34 PM

I saw only the first forty-five minutes of the movie. I opted to watch the seventy-five minute season finale of CSI Miami. I don't know whether to hate or tolerate Martha. I did notice that her father was demanding and didn't think her life after modeling and as a stockbroker were good enough. I wish that they could have aired this movie again soon.

I think it's going to be on again this Saturday night, but I don't remember for sure.

I caught the last 45 min or so and it was pretty funny...especially the part with the nutcracker when she started selling her stock.

I watch her Food Network show all the time because it's really amusing. She tries to be so nice but you can tell she's a royal bitch. It's really funny to see how tense she gets when she has guests on because they aren't quite as neat as she is and she is constantly picking up after them. She even orders her own poor mother around.

EagleChick19 06-04-2003 03:26 PM

Martha was charged with 9 counts, including securities fraud.

moe.ron 06-04-2003 03:38 PM

I wonder when Ken Lay is going to be indicted.
