Michelle Williams vs Carey Mulligan

i thought her precocious schoolgirl movie was ok

Mulligan was the only thing in the Wall Street sequel that didn't make me irrationally angry

although there was so much TheBeef in that movie, TheBeefing all over the place, I might have given anyone a free pass in that role

CM's that is

xp

Mulligan cried a lot in Wall Street 2, didn't she

well her dad was a total dick in it, it's not a surprise

i like carey mulligan but i LOVE michelle williams

Williams gets more impressive and handsome with each movie.

michelle williams is best friends with busy phillips
carey mulligan used to date shia lebeouf

NUFF SAID

more Michelle love...

Yeah, Carey is charming and adorable, but I respect Michelle more as an actress and person.

In interviews, Michelle is so serious sometimes that it comes off as haughty, but I think she's just someone who finds a lot of reward in acting and isn't as comfortable with all the other trappings of celebrity.

Well, when you've got an elephant in the room like MW's dead babydaddy...

michelle williams is an angel, carey mulligan's a slag

Much love for Carey, but Michelle is Binoche-like in her ability to get more beautiful as the years move on.

omg MICHELLE!!!

otm everyone itt so far, but also she is a nice person. she kindly held a door for me at a show in chapel hill(bright eyes/grandaddy iirc lol had to have been at least 10 years ago) -- she was there b/c of dawson's creek and also she was dating some local musician dude -- and her beauty was like a dazzling bright light, no exaggeration

it's also hard to know how carey will age because she is 15

I love Carey, I've never paid any attention to Michelle.

Oh it's her from Dawson's Creek. Still Carey.

I think every girl I've had a crush on has been 50% Jen Lindley.

i feel like the 'practically the same person' in the same way that a piece of cheap of glass and a diamond are 'practically the same stone'

the la beef connection is a little eugh but i have to say i don't quiiite get the hate for CM.

Gotta say I'm pretty trepidatious about Michelle's forthcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic, though.

HEY WAIT GUYS WHAT ABOUT MEEEE, I'M NOT TOO OLD TO BE DESCRIBED AS A 'PIXIE' ALREADY AM I!?!?!?

i have some kind of irrational hatred of girls who look like they're squinting even when they're not tbh

hilarious pic

Stone cold

Taylor Swift has the same little eyes/big mouth but not the hair.

Michelle wins vs anyone. No problem with Carey but she needs to get some good movies / roles. Oh that 'Drive' looks good.

people who LOATHE carey are pretty fuckin weird. she has poor taste in guys i guess [off colour 'hope mumford guy kills himself, that way they'd be even more similar' joek] but enh.

voted carey bc she does better work in 'an education' and 'never let me go' than i've seen from MW. who i don't dislike, but i had to look at imdb to see what she's done. there's a few things i ought to watch but im not bowled over. and im somewhat more stoked for 'shame' than MW playing marilyn.

also carey was in a michael mann movie

Whatev, An Education is terrrrible inside and out.

Even Rosamund Pike is *yawn*

well, you have bad taste

And you have arrogance.

win-win?

Score one, mod.

history mayne OTM

had no idea ppl disliked CM so much!

too twee. i'm not super into girls who look like small boys. i've only seen her in lame movies and she wasn't good in them. can see where the hate comes from. although personally cgaf.

'an education' was great, but prob not pretty and boring enough for ppl who think douglas sirk films set the high water mark for cinema.

On no, actually An Education was plenty boring enough.

Don't people hate Carey for the same reason they dislike Zooey Deschanel: wide-eyed doll-like ingenues that "sensitive" dudes fawn over?

like MW's dead babydaddy

Wait, WHAT?!

surprise, you have a babydaddy (he dead tho)

You are NOT the dead babydaddy.

It came as one helluva shock to me, let me tell you

An Education is so boring it could only have been directed by a man.

Boring enough for a man, made for a woman.

i have never seen a carey mulligan movie but has she been in something as horrible as Deception? (michelle looked vv pretty tho)

CM was cute in 'An Education' (and Pike wasn't dull!) but she's no Michelle Williams.

Man, I know it's middlebrow and all, but I found An Education pretty gripping.

I don't mind middlebrow -- I mind middlemuddled.

otoh Michelle Williams dating Jason Segel at the moment makes me inexplicably happy. they just seem like nice people imo.

^^^^^^^

Did Mulligan and Mumford get married in a muddy manger?

she was great in SHAME but i hated the film. just for once i'd like to see a *positive*, upbeat movie about some urban geezer
who can't connect to people and bangs everything in sight.

American Psycho iirc

i thought her precocious schoolgirl movie was ok

This was an extremely drab and boring movie, BTW.

She was good in Doctor Who.

time to revisit this? i'm afraid to re-watch an education b/c i'm afraid it won't hold up. carey mulligan also seems so much worse since she took up with marcus mumford. i mean, i don't know that i've seen much of her since then -- except for inside llewyn davis, i guess? -- but just the fact that she is married to him.

but i will totally see suffragette in which i gather she is the star but meryl streep showboats as emmeline pankhurst.

“Michelle Williams is in early talks to take on the role of rock icon Janis Joplin in a new biopic directed by Sean Durkin, the director of Martha Marcy May Marlene,” reports the Guardian‘s Catherine Shoard. “The film, titled Janis, is based the singer’s sister Laura Joplin’s book Love, Janis, which uses the singer’s letters to track her life from the coffee house roots of her career through to Woodstock, when she struggled with alcohol and drug addiction to cope with her sudden celebrity.”

An illustrated slide show of the documentary, great

A very long time ago I watched a documentary about Dawson's Creek, there was lots of interviews with fans, all the fans hated the character Williams played. Why is this? I watched a fair amount of Dawson's Creek and I don't recall there being anything wrong with her character.

i had no idea that she and phil elverum had split up, and that she was already remarried

The writers seemed to hate Williams's character on Dawson's Creek (cf. the way they killed her in the finale) but I couldn't begin to guess what or why the Dawson's Creek fandom thinks.

I've only seen a few episodes and know very little about the show, but from what I recall of the pilot she was presented as the stunningly beautiful troubled girl who all the boys instantly fall for, setting up the fans to see her as a rival to relatable girl-next-door Katie Holmes.

I lived in Wilmington while it was shooting and hobnobbed a tiny bit. Also watched the entire series almost 20 years later to look for people and places I knew there. AMA! lol
Michelle Williams & her character are all time in my book. I couldn’t recount plot points bc it has been a few years but I remember liking her in general.

No idea why the girl next door trope persists. I don’t know any girls next door aside from the ones in tv/movies.

Yeah, the initial presentation as hot party girl could have haters I guess (ala Marissa on the OC... but no one on Gossip Girl) but that was undermined pretty quickly.

I don’t think fans disliked her at all tbh.

Instead of bitchy party girl she was damaged goods because she had sex, which should be a reason to hate the writers of the first two seasons.

except that sadly that was a thing in almost every show of its kind in the 90’s

i had no idea that she and phil elverum had split up, and that she was already remarried

on celeb sites, there's all this gossip about how michelle williams got engaged, broke up, married, divorced, knocked up and married again to three different guys in the span of two years. amazing actress but she seems secretly exhausting

Well it certainly seems like a lot of traveling

except that sadly that was a thing in almost every show of its kind in the 90’s

for sure - One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl were the first ones I can think of that broke the mold a bit on the "hot bitchy girl" and sex fronts

One Tree Hill was the second rate Dawson’s Creek that shot in Wilmington! The record store was my friend’s store!

Anyone shaming Michelle Williams for decisions she makes in her personal life should probably stfu

Not you Roz specifically but geez gossip sites are literally the worst.

yeah seriously

I don’t disagree! And I don’t care at all about what Michelle Williams does - it’s just something that I remembered seeing on one of my feeds.

Michelle Williams is a marvelous actor.

I love her in all the Kelly Reichardt movies. I just looked and amazingly, of all the stuff she's done, I think I've only seen her in maybe one or two other things. Brokeback Mountain, Shutter Island, Manchester by the Sea (lol all location titles!) ... Wait, I know I saw The Station Agent but don't remember her in it, same with I'm Not There.

The first time I noticed how great she was, was in Me Without You.

I recall that Dawson's Creek documentary having a fan reaction to each character and three or more fans said "I hate her" or something along those lines and I've been reeling in confusion about it for 20 years.

I think it's 2020 and we can let that go because it was petty and hurtful -- and Michelle Williams obviously deserves better

I've seen a few films I found very overrated recently, so I might have been all set up to overrate Showing Up myself, I don't know. But I liked the mood, found everyone interesting, and am an easy mark for wounded-animal stories. I even liked Judd Hirsch for a change.

I liked it quite a bit.

I find Williams performances powerful but a bit offputtingly flopsweaty - which makes her well cast in Fabelmans. Mulligan has some kind of blank screen non-charisma that for whatever reason doesn’t work for me. She’s fun in Blink.

I'd have to look at them side-by-side to explain why, but I found her different here than in Wendy and Lucy or Certain Women. I like Kelly Reichardt's contemporary films so much more than the two set in the 1800s.

A Promising Young Woman is on Netflix, so I finally caught up with that. Definitely not a good movie--didactic, and so far-fetched--but it did hold my interest just for being so weird.

Am surprised I was so out-of-the-gate in my dislike of CM itt. I was under the mistaken impression I came by that arrival gradually

What is “flopsweaty”??
Michelle Williams by a mile and also she did a great job reading Britney’s book. It was like a single chapter before I accepted the voice as Britney’s.

I find CM very cold and therefore much less interesting to me.

xp I guess I kind of liked her in Inside Lleywn Davis ... playing someone incredibly unlikeable

Definitely not a good movie--didactic, and so far-fetched--but it did hold my interest just for being so weird.

I found it kind of entrancing, despite its flaws, which is why Saltburn was so disappointing to me: It was boring!

I liked Mulligan in Wildlife but otherwise find her unbelievable.

I had to look Mulligan up. She was in Pride and Prejudice? I guess I remember her in that.
