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.

Take This Waltz has good stuff but yeah mostly shit

how have you even seen take this waltz? is it because it is vod? who even has vod? how does it worK?

i watched it on VOD tonight. It turns up as an option, and you click "buy".

amazing

sarah polley is horrible, horrible, horrible. that michelle williams on baywatch thing is adorable. i hope that's still in her demo reel, not that she probably has such a thing.

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

^^^^^^^

Did Mulligan and Mumford get married in a muddy manger?

she was great in SHAME but i hated the film. just for once i'd like to see a *positive*, upbeat movie about some urban geezer
who can't connect to people and bangs everything in sight.

American Psycho iirc

i thought her precocious schoolgirl movie was ok

This was an extremely drab and boring movie, BTW.

She was good in Doctor Who.

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.”

An illustrated slide show of the documentary, great

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.

i had no idea that she and phil elverum had split up, and that she was already remarried

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.

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.

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.

except that sadly that was a thing in almost every show of its kind in the 90’s

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

Well it certainly seems like a lot of traveling

except that sadly that was a thing in almost every show of its kind in the 90’s

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

Not you Roz specifically but geez gossip sites are literally the worst.

yeah seriously

I don’t disagree! And I don’t care at all about what Michelle Williams does - it’s just something that I remembered seeing on one of my feeds.

Michelle Williams is a marvelous actor.

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.

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.

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 liked it quite a bit.

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.

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.

Am surprised I was so out-of-the-gate in my dislike of CM itt. I was under the mistaken impression I came by that arrival gradually

What is “flopsweaty”??
Michelle Williams by a mile and also she did a great job reading Britney’s book. It was like a single chapter before I accepted the voice as Britney’s.

I find CM very cold and therefore much less interesting to me.

xp I guess I kind of liked her in Inside Lleywn Davis ... playing someone incredibly unlikeable

Definitely not a good movie--didactic, and so far-fetched--but it did hold my interest just for being so weird.

I found it kind of entrancing, despite its flaws, which is why Saltburn was so disappointing to me: It was boring!

I liked Mulligan in Wildlife but otherwise find her unbelievable.
