Thanks to Dina Meyer, I have watched some of the worst movies ever made, many of them more than once. To make a living in acting, she has taken roles in some real rubbish. I don’t think this would offend her. I’m sure she knows.

But, regardless of what she has put me through, Dina is my favorite actress. I’m not trying to hurt the feelings of the many babelicious thespians that have been coming to my page daily and are now thinking “Oh, why can’t it be me?” I am not immune to your tortured cries, but, seriously, suck it up. Dina makes even the muckiest of muck relatively watchable, so she wins. And when she actually has a good role… wow. My heart goes all aflutter and stuff.

So, the main character of Best Women is Taryn, as far as a main character goes. Best Women is most definitely an ensemble piece, but when it comes down to it, the woman we must love, the woman we must root for is Taryn. If we don’t like Taryn, we won’t like the movie. She’s the heart.

As Taryn, Dina Meyer will be oh so root-worthy. Dina Meyer will be infinitely lovable. She’s also just the right amount of sexy, noticeably but not overwhelmingly. And while her filmography is lacking in humor-filled fare, when she has the opportunity, girl can be funny. That is why Dina will be Taryn in my film.

At some point, I will inform her of this decision.
