So the exact same story as millions of other addicts, but she can sing gud so she was worth a movie.

Are you saying other addicts deserve movies? Failing to see any sort of point on this stupid fucking comment lmao

How is that the “exact same” as millions of others? This is the case of a .01%er beginning to actually realize her potential and reaching the heights of an industry. There aren’t “millions of other addicts” who have reached her levels of fame, fortune, and most importantly, recognition. She got a documentary bc hers was a household name and as such her story could raise awareness of an issue affecting millions. Those affected millions’ issues and lives are not any less important than Amy’s, but they are far more obscure and thus less interesting to most of the world. There has to be something interesting about the person for people to watch a documentary about them.

So I guess a correct response to you would be, yes she could sing gud so she was indeed worth a movie. Ugh I can’t believe I spent time to respond to this asinine and ignorant comment, but I typed it out already in an overly caffeinated fugue.
