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

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.

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

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.

Shame = first time I sort of didn't mind Carey. I would say it must've helped her to be surrounded by such a completely horrible movie, but that didn't work when it was An Education, so she must have improved in the in between.

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.”

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.

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.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 22 June 2020 01:51 (four 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 (four 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 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.
