Michelle Williams vs Carey Mulligan

haha i wasn't going to blow up your spot but i totally would have understood breaking a self-ban for that reason. also Nicole had your back:

How is this even a contest. I really liked CM in Blink but that's about it, but Michelle is wonderful.

1. she is v. talented, shining in otherwise shit movies (shutter island) or making otherwise dull ideas worth watching (wendy and lucy)
2. she is v. pretty
3. she seems chill, from the rare amount of interviews she does. none of that 'that girl so annoying that i want to fuck her' stuff, that girl is nice so ilx is in love.

didn't she just get set on fire in 'shutter island'? i can't remember, and i even liked that film a little. emily mortimer actually shone iirc.

being pretty isn't that unusual among top-tier actresses, though id agree that vanity fair did her no favours with the marilyn thing. (well: sorta: it's not all VF: she has done a film playing marilyn. but they made emma stone look less than lovely which is a kind of achievement.)

i think someone told me carey mulls is an irl lovely person but i might have got wires crossed.

Is there actually any similarity between them other than the same haircut?

Carey is mostly good in underwhelming films (An Education, Never Let Me Go) but hasn't really got much under her belt yet. Going "there is essentially no point in her existing" is a fucking weird thing to say.

I've barely seen anything Michelle's been in actually, but I get the feeling Carey is several years behind her in terms of career.

Also I'm not sure I believe all these people who are bigging up Michelle like she's Cate Blanchett or something.

helps that we all grew up w/ dawsons creek knowing that the brunette poised to be the breakout star was going to end up mental and the blonde who didnt get as much screen time was where its at

Dawson's Creek - An education

She's had a bit of Mumford in her in the past but less so now.

crass to say but i always thought the heath ledger thing got her a lot of public sympathy

nope

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

whoever wins, we all squint

I haven't seen a single Mulligan movie or performance, except the Bleak House miniseries apparently, in which I didn't recall her.

However, she has legit stage chops it seems -- I would've gone to the off-Bway version of Through a Glass Darkly if I had the cash. And I will be seeing Shame in about 3 weeks.

jaymc, it's A WEEK with Marilyn that M.W. is playing, so it's not a biopic.

which one is charlie's ungirlfriend?

MW gets more ethereal every time I see her. She's like a Christmas tree fairy. I <3 her

seconding carey mulligan as a stage actress. i saw her in the seagull, and she was fantastic.

while she has no character and doesn't do anything to elevate a part that was barely written at all, Mulligan is pretty stunning in Drive.

^^^This. The key thing is Mulligan photographs well, and they built on that. That one bit where she's fixing her hair before going out on the drive, the scene where we find out the husband's coming home, really got to me.

is there a thread about drive?

Is there not yet a thread for DRIVE, the forthcoming Ryan Gosling vehicle (geddit)?

thankyou

Michelle recently opened up to Elle about her hair: “What [my daughter] Matilda would love is for her mom to grow out the cropped hair, though that’s unlikely to happen any time soon. I’ve really grown into it - I feel like myself with short hair. And it’s been a really long time since I had long hair, five years. Of course, the only people who like it are gay men and my girlfriends. Straight men across the board are not into this hair!”

Her hair looks amazing super short like that. Not many people carry that off well but she does so perfectly. Straight men should STFU.

oh buzza

haha!

michelle's otm about the super short hair ime

i finally saw carey mulligan in a movie and she seemed really shockingly smug.

she's not good in Drive but it's not really her fault, she's horribly miscast.

Actress Carey Mulligan shunned traditional wedding shoes and wore rain boots as she exchanged vows with folk rocker Marcus Mumford in the English countryside on Saturday.

;_;

like tears in rain boots

im right there with you dude

you have been shunned like so many traditional wedding shoes

colin firth was there which just makes me furious

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

I thought Carey Mulligan was still married to Tom Cruise

Why would anyone marry Marcus Mumford, come on now.

why would anyone date shia labeouf for that matter

Yeah she clearly has some seriously questionable taste.

Carey Mulligan Vs Zoe Ball

i watched 'take this waltz', it was really shitty, tho not really michelles fault

jennifer lawrence has stolen the squinty blonde throne imo

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.
