GLOW (Netflix)

A movie wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

Sorry for bumping this again, but I had to post this because Betty Gilpin is that awesome.

'GLOW' Was Cancelled and Betty Gilpin's OK With It - Here's Why

“I think if all this had happened when I was 19 and just starting out, I would have been so devastated, but at 34, I’m kind of grateful to the decade of failing that I had, where I still supported myself as an actor, so it wasn’t total failure. But I did a lot of black box plays that no one saw and an episode of Law and Order once every four years, and that was my life for a long time. I think starting in theater was this gift where I learned the lesson early that feeling like your soul is doing what it’s supposed to and coming out into a room for one second and being recognized by someone else’s soul is such a different thing than societal success and it can be confused. It’s very easy to confuse the hit validation feels like, or public validation, especially when so much of being an actor is rejection and no and trying, so when the world says, ‘Hey, we see you and we’re clapping,’ you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s my childhood dream!’ But it’s not. Your childhood dream has way more to do with your soul just being recognized for a millisecond and then it goes away.”

Gilpin applied that mindset to the cancellation of GLOW and a few other career-related bumps in the road:

“I think even though we got cancelled, it’s like, ‘Yeah, we still did it though.’ And The Hunt is a movie that meant so much to me and that part meant so much to me and there are parts in that movie where I really felt like, ‘Oh, I did the soul thing.’ … I feel like sometimes you do a play, sometimes your soul comes out in a room and is recognized for a second and then the air changes and you’re terrible again and it’s all bad and the whole front row’s asleep, but you did it, for one second. And I’m like, we did three seasons. The Hunt came out in theaters for two days. I have an Ann Coulter impression. I never filmed it.”

I'm suing you for emotional distress because.....this brought back sad memories. Still cant believe that they canceled the show and didnt even give us a movie or two to wrap it up.
