Lindsay Lohan: "Hot, Ready, and Legal!"

i guess she was plugging her appearance on that charlie sheen show (where she plays herself, getting court-mandated therapy)

i thought she handled it pretty well, outside of the persistent mugging at the audience for approval

yeah it was good fun

is this what people mean when they say someone is "taking it on the chin"? i've never been 100% sure what that idiom means tbh.

I am sure LL's taken it on the chin before but I suspect even she's sensible enough no to do it on network television.

iirc it means you let your guard down and someone landed a perfect punch

It means you take a hard punch w/o complaint. LL must know she's got some 'punches' coming her way. Taking them well will stand to her credit.

Those are two different things, but the latter is more like what I thought it meant. That's what it seemed like she was doing there.

I thought it means keep your chin up, don't lose your resolve, and here's a friendly faux-punch to the chin, "Go get 'em, tiger".

As an example of non double-entendre usage.

I always thought it was a boxing analogy. Sometimes you have to take a punch. Do so stoically.

That probably is correct. This is an instance where any of us could probably google and look for the real answer but it is far more entertaining to hear everyone's interpretations of it.

she didn't really take it on the chin, that was more complaining that she wasn't ready for the punch

1. Lit. to stand up to something adverse, such as criticism. (Fig. on taking a direct punch to the head in boxing.) They laid some blunt criticism on him, but he took it on the chin. I knew he could take it on the nose.
2. Fig. to receive the full brunt of something. Why do I have to take it on the chin for something I didn't do? If you did it, you have to learn to take it on the chin.

So could it be said that aside from the obsequious mugging, she took it on the chin during that interview?

david letterman is an asshole.

assholes have their uses

Maybe he thought he was enabling if he didn't address it, or maybe she was a pain before shooting.

maybe. i just think, as a general rule, i'm not a fan of his smug, sarcastic kind of humor. i watched an old interview he did with harmony korine recently and something about letterman's wry attitude toward korine's eccentricity rubbed me the wrong way, idk. also i, for what ever reason, pretty much always find myself rooting for lindsay lohan.

Dave Letterman is the worst

i remember when that show tanked my mom felt really bad for magic johnson. "he's such a nice man," i remember her saying. my mom also feels bad for lindsay lohan.

louis vuitton zombie movie waiting to happen

its a perfect couture model facial pose

...I love that facial expression. Like there's a slight chance that she could contort her body, and climb through the screen ala Ringu

lindsay was supposed to start rehab this morning. the fact that it is now dinnertime and she is still not in rehab should surprise no one.

Whatever, hater.

oh lindsaypaws :(

She'll be fine. I'm not worried.

Apparently she had more pressing business.

Schrader on LL:
http://www.filmcomment.com/article/shooting-stars

I think Lohan has more natural acting talent than Monroe did, but, like Monroe, her weakness is her inability to fake it. She feels she must be experiencing an emotion in order to play it. This leads to all sorts of emotional turmoil, not to mention on-set delays and melodrama. It also leads, when the gods smile, to movie magic. Monroe had the same affliction. They live large, both in life and on screen. This is an essential part of what draws viewers to them.

Lohan has outgrown her adolescent roles. All those cute all-American girls with the all-American names (Hallie Parker, Annie James, Anna Coleman, Cady Heron, Maggie Peyton), they’re gone. And in their place is another all-American type, the tough-talking, cigarette-smoking, streetwise girl, the blowsy blonde—Gena Rowlands, Ann-Margret, Shelley Winters, Angie Dickinson. Yet shining from within remains the little girl from the Disney films—a sweetness that makes the hard shell vibrate. Just like Marilyn.

I don't like how he seems to be saying Monroe wasn't serious about the craft of acting and instead "playacted" at it. Brando said Monroe was a committed and serious actress and that's good enough for me.

must be experiencing an emotion in order to play it.

this is method acting 101 iirc

I don't like how he seems to be saying Monroe wasn't serious about the craft of acting and instead "playacted" at it.

well go ahead and feel relieved because he isnt saying that

"To be taken seriously one had to appear serious: study your craft, be mentored, read literature, respect your creative elders, marry a playwright, get the support of an established theater group or studio. To receive the system’s rewards—fame, money—you playacted by the system’s rules. And Monroe did."

not sure how you're parsing this one, H4A

the method isn't the only way to work tho!

paul schrader directs! lindsay lohan stars! is hardly an appealing proposition, like you are suffering a lot just to test the guy's thesis.

this shows a p blunt misunderstanding of monroe's appeal, too. she is a lightbulb on screen, with terrific timing & presence; not sure if PS rests his claim on anything other than his movie but LL would have to be doing a lot to in some way exceed or equal monroe on screen

comparing LL to old school starlets, especially monroe, has been her m.o. for the last few years, schrader is just playing along. the sad thing is it just emphasizes how prematurely aged she is

"To be taken seriously one had to appear serious: study your craft, be mentored, read literature, respect your creative elders, marry a playwright, get the support of an established theater group or studio. To receive the system’s rewards—fame, money—you playacted by the system’s rules. And Monroe did."
--Matt Armstrong

This doesn't read to me as some indictment--it's an argument that abiding by the rules of the establishment, whether one believes in them or not, *is* the road to being taken seriously. He's not saying Marilyn was an unserious fake, he's saying she played the game one needed to play to be taken seriously.
