Turtleneck


Why is she wearing a turtleneck in every scene?

reply

I came here to make this thread. I figure there was something wrong with her neck during filming.

reply

I noticed that in all the scences she had a turtle neck. And it goes all the way up to her jawline.

Why are you people acting like over the top, dimwitted retards, retards? You are arid and humourless!



reply

She's horrifically fat and is hiding the huge *beep* triple chin.

reply

Yes because all her weight resides in her chin.

In this one movie.

Obviously it was meant as a character thing, but I found it really distracting.. would have been nice to throw in a line or two of dialogue making a comment about it being her trademark

reply

SO DISTRACTING!

I was like- just show your neck already!!! The longer the movie went on, the more annoyed I got.

reply

Wrong Melissa has lost lot of weight

I was thinking that she's lost a lot of weight and probably has loose skin.

reply

She said in an interview that she just felt this is how the character would dress. Her neck is just fine.

reply

i've seen her in recent interviews and yes, her neck is normal. what i don't understand why the turtleneck is unrolled all the way up so that it almost covers her chin. it's actually really distracting and not funny at all.

reply

I guess the long turtlenecks were done for the character.

reply

Her neck is fine now. I suspect that with all her weight, she got her neck lipo'd and/or tightened. And it hadn't healed when they were filming this. Of course she'd try to justify dressing like that but there is no reason her character would dress that way. Come on ...name one person IRL who does that, esp someone wealthy.

ENTJs love turtlenecks ie steve jobs

"Bitch, I don't know your life!"

reply

This is a character she did in her earlier Improv days. It's part of who michelle darnell is.

It's a comedy. Not real life. Hello. And why wouldn't she just wait to film since she and her husband are two of the producers? Nobody would have teeth like Austin Powers either.

reply

In Austin powers they reference the teeth and talk about it and make fun of it. They never address the turtleneck whatsoever and it's distracting.

reply

I know it's been a while but OK you are right. They could've brought up why.

This is what I think too. If you're in your 20's and you drop 50/100/etc + pounds, you're probably fine. If you're in your 40's (MM will be 46 in August), there's a good chance you'll have loose skin in various places. The hardest place to hide is under your chin. You develop the turkey waddle thing. This also happens to people who aren't overweight when they get old. Most celebs have it fixed. I think there's even a way to do it without surgery now, although I forget what it's called (I think Howard Stern had it done this way, for one).

reply

First of all, 46 is NOT OLD! Melissa McCarthy has made many very funny films, despite her weight she is a physical pratfall type of comedian! If she has made you laugh, then what she looks like should disappear definitely not make a 'YUGELY' issue of it!

reply

The turtleneck looks weird like she has no neck

reply

She must had some kind of virus during filming or a whiplash injury.

It's that man again!!

reply

she was paying homage to Roger Ebert.

reply

I was going to say she was paying homage to Maude.

reply

isn't her character out of touch with fashion?

reply

turtlenecks are cool.

reply

She's playing an eccentric character who really likes turtlenecks or sees it as a " branding " trademark thing, ie. Elizabeth Holmes.
