Much love for Carey, but Michelle is Binoche-like in her ability to get more beautiful as the years move on.
― Gukbe, Friday, 9 September 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
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

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.

Sillier than a movie that posits Skarsgaaaaaaaard (with that accent!) and Mulligan as a couple? Sillier than those scenes with her bickering parents?
― Anakin Ska Walker (AKA Skarth Vader) (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 9 September 2011 20:46 (twelve years ago) link
I'd mind less if I didn't read a positive review which didn't praise the movie in the same terms over and over ("The debut of the next Audrey Hepburn"! "Quirky!" "British!" "It has Oscar written all over it!"). I'm sure I didn't read them all.

there's probably some crossover there but it feels different to me since CM hasn't taken any unpleasant stabs at being a singer or comic actress yet
― some dude, Friday, 9 September 2011 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like they provoke the same kind of "you guys" eye-rolling from women.

Deschanel's an okay actress who comes off worse because most of her roles are written as male-indie fantasies by and for men.
― Anakin Ska Walker (AKA Skarth Vader) (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 9 September 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
Which must be why I don't hate her...
― em vee equals pea queue (Michael White), Friday, 9 September 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
to whatever extent i've even heard of anyone discuss CM it seems like she's well liked by women, although she seems like one of those """"famous"""" types who gets an Oscar nod and a bunch of roles in movies that weren't necessarily big hits before people in America really have any idea who she is and is still in the middle of that process

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.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 22 June 2020 01:51 (three years ago) link
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.
― Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course (milo z), Monday, 22 June 2020 02:47 (three years ago) link
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.

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

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

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.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 22 June 2020 14:53 (three years ago) link
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.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 22 June 2020 18:12 (three years ago) link
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 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.
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 9 December 2023 14:25 (three months ago) link
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.
