Members DRW50 Posted November 28, 2012 Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like the EW person believing Taylor and Burton would have been offended. I think they would have gotten drunk, pointed, and laughed at the garbage. http://watching-tv.ew.com/2012/11/25/liz-and-dick-lindsay-lohan-elizabeth-taylor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Next to Tom Shales and Jeff Jarvis, Ken Tucker is the best TV critic ever. Thanks for the link, Carl. Funny, I say the same thing every time I watch one of her movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I agree, especially Elizabeth Taylor who was reputed to be witty with self-deprecating humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 When you've been through as much hell as Liz had been throughout her life, you learn to take it all in stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I watched it. It was OK. I would much rather see someone do a Elizabeth Taylor movie simlilar to the one about Judy Garland (me and my shadow.) I thought this movie focussed too much on the affair of the couple then at the end it wrapped things up in a quick little package. I also found it hard to watch "Richard" calling Elizabeth fat when Lindsey was thin. I see they tried to make her a little fat but it didn't work. They bascially should have gotten somebody older to play Elizabeth Taylor. Somebody with a stronger presense because Elizabeth could really tell it like it was and be forceful about it. Lindsey just didn't have it in her. SHe seemed too whinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just don't understand why anyone serious about such an undertaking would cast LL in this role. This is Liz Taylor we are talking about - not Anna Nicole Smith. Was it because she is highly publicized due to her controversial life? The casting just does not make a lick of sense to me. Was I supposed to take this serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think so. To hear certain ones (like Ken Tucker) tell it, the paparazzi and tabloid magazines are as obsessed with Lindsay as they were with Liz. And on the surface, I think that's true. Of course, the problem there is that they were and are obsessed with these two women for entirely different reasons. The media followed Liz (and Liz & Dick) because she was a stunning actress with a solid, lifelong career (marred by the occasional bad movie or TV film), a true humanitarian with a down-to-earth demeanor, and a very real, and very human, craving for love. They follow Lindsay because she's a booze hound who squandered her early potential and now likes to hit people with her car and her hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 On paper, the easy publicity of a child star who burnt out might make people compare her to Liz. But Liz never burnt out the way Lindsay has. Not even close. At the time she was Lindsey's age, she was still one of the biggest stars in the world. She wrote the book on modern day celebrity culture. Lindsay isn't even a footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 1, 2012 Members Share Posted December 1, 2012 I just finished watching this little trashterpiece...boy, it did not disappoint. The actor playing Burton was so out of place, seeing as he can actually act. Lohan has lost all of her talent, whatever of it she ever possessed in the first place. She was truly awful, not making any effort to play anyone except Lindsay Lohan dressing up as Elizabeth Taylor. The 1980s Liz Taylor look was the gravest by far, I howled with laughter at that particular image. Overall, Lohan's career has to be over by this point.
