I don't mean it in a bad way, but what's his deal with overweight women in his films?
SIDEWAYS had a sex scene featuring one.
ABOUT SCHMIDT has the infamous Kathy Bates nude scene, obviously.
And in NEBRASKA Will Forte's girlfriend is also overweight.
Anything else?
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.

Maybe because he wants real people represented in his films? Look around. Is every woman a size 2?
Besides I noticed that you didn't point out the overweight MEN in his movies. Double standard, eh?

Maybe he likes plus-size women. Anyway, a girl can dream.
