Winona Ryder Should Try To Grow A Brain!


I read where she assumes that Kuklinski's wife had to have known what he did for a living, and that she was just as culpable in his crimes as he was, because she silently went along with it!
And what proof does she sight for her belief? None...she assumes that this must be so, because she's an actress, and they always think their celebrity makes them smarter and their opinions more valuable than mortal men and women.
I thought that actresses research the real characters they're playing? Obviously Ryder didn't because she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about!
Barbara Kuklinski was petrified of her husband who was 6'5 and 300 lbs of hair trigger rage...... and she never dared to ask him what he did for a living!
When they were young and courting, Kuklinski stabbed his wife in the back with a small knife just to "mark" her as his property and to let her know that if she ever left him he would kill her.
Barbara Kuklinski was a prisoner of her husband and was not, as Ryder suggests, in any way condoning how her husband made a living, she was kept in the dark and stayed in the dark willingly because it was the only way to survive in the hell that was her marriage.
Ryder should just stick to reading other people's words because she's not to bright when voicing her own ignorant thoughts!

You sound like an idiot

Is Wicked711 what they call you down at the gay bar too?

Good one.

Agreed, I think I saw the same interview. She also seemed jealous of all the attention Michael Shannon was getting. She said the movie should have been about her character but it's not called the Icewoman. What a self-serving air head.

wow, what you said is incredibly interesting about Iceman and his wife's relationship- it seems like the movie SEVERELY distorted this! From the movie, it appeared to mean that he was incredibly reverent and adoring of Barbara and his family. Obviously he began to have mounting moments of stress (the car chase/he flipped out in the kitchen)- but never laid a hand on her! That really bothers me that the movie is apparently so inaccurate! So in reality, he was very violent and intimidating towards her?

I don't know anything about their relationship except what was in the movie. In the movie, Deborah questioned him once and he lost his temper so badly, she never did again. But they didn't portray her as being a prisoner in the marriage or really frightened of him besides the couple of times he lost his temper around his family.

Wow, calm down. It's not like Winona Ryder wrote the script. Blame the director.
