The Queen of Versailles
My heart is aflutter about this movie that premiered at Sundance last night. (Breathlessly, she speaks): Basically it’s about a super rich timeshare empire -owning couple — he’s in his 70s, she’s in her 40s and look at her boobs and I don’t understand why she’s not on The Real Housewives, and they have eight kids! — who were trying to build the biggest, fanciest house in America when the housing bubble burst. Apparently, according to this LA Weekly review, she is a quote machine:
Talking about the bailouts, she says, “I thought that rescue money was supposed to be given to the common people. Or, you know, us.”
This just makes my tail wiggle! There’s shopaholism, a lawsuit, taxidermy, time share pitches, and a household staff of 25, hoarding. Who wants to go to the movies?
