Tumblrer fat manatee points out today just how unfortunately timed the new movie Confessions Of a Shopaholic really is. The film, based on a popular book series, is about a credit-obsessed New York City gal (the previously likable Isla Fisher) who just loves to shop and shriek (a lot) and say zany things like "you speak Prada??" There's a part in the trailer (above) where the Shopaholic animalisticly tries to dig her emergency credit card out of a big block of ice. She'd been keeping it in the freezer, but now she needs to spend! It's like watching a heroin addict lick a diner counter for stray poppy seeds. It's like, a metaphor for now, you know?
