Wheezy Gut
All kidding aside, the slogan -- "the harder the life, the sweeter the song" -- isn't half bad. There's a vein of truth in that. Unless, of course, your definition of a hard life is one poisoned by constant slurps of bourbon and 40 to 50 cigarettes daily, which isn't so much a "hard" life as much as a slow, drawn-out attempt to extinguish life altogether while making difficult if not miserable the lives of family and friends.
As the son of an emotionally curt, often grumpy alcoholic for my first 28 or 29 years of life, I have a certain understanding.

Am I the only one enjoying the irony of this being released primarily on the coasts? Fox is missing out on a huge opportunity by bypassing the Midwest here. If you were a blue-collar, coast-hating guy, would you see Precious, or this? Such an epic marketing fail.

Anyone remember Bridges and Kim Carnes' version of "Ring Of Fire" at the beginning of Rod Lurie's The Contender? This poster triggered that memory.
I'm actually looking forward to this and hoping it's a comeback of sorts for Barry Markowitz, who shot Sling Blade, All The Pretty Horses and The Apostle.

Winners and the average person's biggest difference lies in the fact that the successful people has its own specific goal, to give everything, never waver and change. And most people exactly the opposite, there are few clear goal, even with desire, also often is undecided. http://www.tiffanyandcoonline.com/
