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

"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."

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
― szarkasm (schlump), Thursday, 11 July 2013 22:53 (twelve years ago)
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

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.

i enjoy pretending that LL references are directed at me, esp when they are talking about old school starlets, incarceration, or irrational behavior.
