this had better be epic

From what I heard, LLohan was going round saying she's doing this, and the film-makers were saying she hadn't been offered the part.

That was about 2 weeks ago, so who knows, now.

who knows, but she's in cannes now

wait, really?

Wondering aloud how much LL's presence in a cast increases a production's completion insurance premium....

never forget

whatever she did to her lips is kinda sad

whatever she did to her lips entire existence is kinda sad

if she can make it through the next 10 years without holding up a liquor store/ODing/committing suicide I'll be impressed

Is this the new "Hot, Ready & Legal" thred?

Lindsay Lohan: Haggard, Desperate & Sad!

suggest change

whatever it does to her career, i think this will be an amazing cinematic experience

more amazing than I Know Who Killed Me?

lol probably

I Know Who Killed My Career

ME!

altho "bloody wounds unexplained" was probably the best google search in a movie ever

kind of can't wait to hear how Sarah Silverman incorporates this into her act

I recently read an article on sarah silverman's act in the daily mail

i wish ILX could all watch this movie together drunk when it comes out

this was posted on the main lindsay thread but i thought i'd post it here for the sake of consistency.

i have never been so excited for a movie in my life.

Director Matthew Wilder says, “There will be full frontal nudity. But it will not be cinematic nudity – it will be more violent nudity. For example, linked images of the Vietnam war – that kind of context. It’s not a porn movie, it’s an artistic movie about a porn star. We will not see Lindsay performing oral sex, but there could be some clever play with black boxes or other cinematic tricks that the viewer may see.”

“There will be full frontal nudity. But it will not be cinematic nudity – it will be more violent nudity. For example, linked images of the Vietnam war..."

I sure hope they're not going to use that famous picture of the Vietnamese girl with her clothes burned off to advertise "full frontal nudity" in an attempt to bring in people wanting to see La Lohan nude.

violent nudity

wasn't that a Nitzer Ebb song

odd cast imo

wow

linda lovelace biopic thread means never having to say sorry for being hueg

Eric Roberts, Robert Patrick, Wes Bentley, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth all appropriately skeevy for playing 1970s porn biz/mafia dudes. Hank Azaria, not so much. Wilmer Valderrama apparently unavailable.

OK so..

not good

i'm guessing they avoid the dog-fucking movies

bump

The Times of Harvey Milk and The Celluloid Closet are so good that, measured against them, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace is somewhat ordinary. It's done with some restraint and feeling, though, and isn't nearly as lurid as Star 80. The last 10-15 minutes are especially good.

When I took it out of the library this afternoon, the woman checking it out initially seemed to have a problem, like there was no record of it on the computer. I thought she was going to call over another librarian and we were going to re-enact the newsstand scene from Bananas.

(xpost) It's hard to say...There's a scene towards the end, where Traynor hands Lovelace over to five or six guys for something we don't see (first waving a gun in her face), and if you're familiar with that story, I interpreted it to be that.
