Fat Liberation London is a community created for fat people, by fat people. Our community therefore centres large fat+ bodies first. We use self-identifying terms that are common in fat spaces (i.e. midsize, small fat, large fat, superfat and infinifat), and ask community members in smaller bodies to be considerate of the fact that our community prioritises the most marginalised bodies. The aim is to bring together people with a shared experience together to have fun and build relationships in a friendly, accessible and non-judgemental space.
We’re spent a lot of time thinking about what the scariest film is for Fats, and there was one clear winner: Shallow Hal. You’ll know it as the damaging, disgusting fat-suit film that was somehow paraded as being pro-fat in the noughties, and it’s time we all spent an evening absolutely ripping it to shreds.
Shout out mid-scene, throw paper at the screen, let it all out! We can’t wait to give this film the reception it deserves and place it rightfully in the genre it belongs: horror.
About the film
The story revolves around Hal (Jack Black) who, taking his dying father’s advice, dates only the embodiments of female physical perfection. But that all changes after Hal has an unexpected run-in with self-help guru Tony Robbins. Intrigued by Hal’s shallowness, Robbins hypnotizes him into seeing the beauty that exists even in what the movie calls ‘even the least physically appealing women’. URGH.
