Lifetime Television for Women

[Deleted]

I got The Numbness that Love Made. That sounds more Spice Channel than Lifetime.

[whatever]

Here are my titles, my favorite is the first one:

"My Baby or My Sore: Whatever's Journey" (scurvy)
"Numbness in the Night" (for paralysis)
"Til Infidelity Do Us Part"
"The Need that Love Made: Whatever's Test" (for addiction)

I got God, Don't Leave Me Vomiting when I put in eating disorder. I would totally watch that.

A while back the people at Lifetime were trying to launch another cable network dedicated for women's sports, which I was really hoping for since they probably would've included a fair amount of skating and gymnastics and such, but they just never were able to make it happen. Lifetime used to air quite a bit of sports--WNBA games, women's golf, and ISU figure skating--but they've since stopped, I believe.

I always liked the movie that starred a young Kirsten Dunst as a pregnant teen. Does anyone know the title? I actually thought it was a pretty good movie.

Fifteen and Pregnant.

My favorite one is where some teenage guy who is a swimmer gets addicted to porn and his life spirals. out. of. control. It is awesome. He would sit at his computer and watch porn late and night. Thats it. There wasn't even anything implying that he was jacking off. he was just watching it and it was lame porn, just homely girls in tank tops. Then for some random reason he stopped being a good swimmer and couldn't go to college. He broke up with his girlfriend because she caught him looking at porn on her palm pilot. Then he tries to hook up with this girl who he saw on a webcam but she is insane and when he pusses out and ditches her she smashes her head on the wall and her boyfriend thinks she's been beaten. Then the porn-addict gets his ass kicked and jumps into a pool. I think it kill himself but they just ended with him floating in the pool.
I also like the ones where teenage girls randomly become prostitutes. Who accidently becomes a whore? Apparently on Lifetime its very common.

I saw that one! It was so bad because naturally they couldn't even show the porn so it was all sort of softcore stuff. And the dialog was like this:

Wacker's mom: Honey, I just saw our son on the computer! Looking at PORN!
(cue dramatic music)
Wacker's dad: Heh heh. Boys will be boys.

So bizarre.

Although the prize for Most Bizarre Lifetime Movie Ever goes to The Invisible Child starring Rita Wilson as a woman who invents a make believe child and hires a nanny for her.

You honestly have to see it to believe it. It was on late at night once and I watched it and my husband even watched it with me although he screamed at the TV far more than me. Rita Wilson hires a nanny for her "three" children. Nanny is naturally adorable foreign (australian or british or something) and meets two of the children. Does not see the third. The other two kids (and Rita) talk to the third child as if it's there. Victor Garber is the dad and he pulls the nanny aside and is like "Hey, my wife invented a third kid, I don't really know why, but play along OK?" So the nanny must read bedtime stories to the invisible child and BATHE the invisible child and watch crazy assed Rita Wilson running around the backyard by herself "playing tag" with the invisible child.

Finally the nanny sees the effect this is having on the youngest boy who's developing a rather twisted relationship with reality and believes that he actually has an invisible sister. Nanny goes to social services to report Crazy Rita making her two kids even crazier than they normally would have been. I can't exactly remember how Victor convinces the nanny to tell Social Services she was lying and she does. Rita perhaps hangs on to the one shred of sanity she has left and figures that when Social Services starts knocking on your door, it's time for this invisible kid to go away so she starts saying that the kid is sick and the movie ends with them having a funeral for the invisible child in the backyard.

If you doubt me, check the user comments on IMDB.
