Houston Movie Examiner ^ | May 13, 2015 | Mark R. Whittington

The Hollywood Reporter revealed Tuesday that Reese Witherspoon has been cast into the leading role of a new drama called “The Pale Blue Dot” in which she plays a female astronaut whose life spirals out of control after returning from a space mission. She begins an affair with a fellow astronaut and soon finds herself in a love triangle. The story seems to be not so loosely based on the incident in which real life astronaut Lisa Nowak who drove nonstop between Houston and Orlando wearing an adult diaper and disguised in a trench coat and sunglasses to confront a love rival, whereupon she assaulted her with pepper spray. She was later sentenced to probation and was separated from the Navy at a reduced rank.

Nope, doesn’t play right. Some of the slides are only up for a fraction of a second.

Btittany Murphy would have been ideal.

That girl could play crazy.

Yep. My view of why so many actors are so nuts without any sort of moral or social compass is this;

They have invested so much of their daily lives consumed with being someone else, that they have forgotten who they really are. This explains why to echo chambers in their world is so loud and so controlled. They are the perfect model for mass dissemination of whatever message is desired to get out. Especially by the masters of propaganda, the left, progressives, socialists and communists.

Most have no idea what truth is even if it hits them across the face with their name burnt into a 2x4.

Witherspoon won't have to go far to act the part.

I think part of it was that it wasn’t all playing.

I had a hard time imagining her doing the voice of Luanne Platter on King of the Hill.
