You guys, I PVR'd it. And I won't have time to watch it all tonight because I chose to work out instead of watch it.
I know. You're ashamed of me.
But I have some thoughts.
I've started it, and within 20 seconds I knew it was going to be so epic that I had to rearrange my plans.
You see, I thought that I would be able to watch it and chop vegetables. Not a thing. Not possible.
Already, the credits are SO bad, that I can't even. And I've just made it to the 1:46 mark and I am already laughing. Not to mention drinking.
Omg. I'm going to watch some tonight, and then I'm going to watch all of it and we're going to talk about it a lot.
So much.
I read Liz & Dick, it was an AMAZING book. So beautiful, so intense and romantic. If you get the chance, read it, because it's amazing. Not even 3 minutes in to this movie and I know that it's been ruined.
- 1:58 - Grant Bowler's wig is so crazy amazing.
- 2:38 - WTF? Why is there the weirdest, most echo-y voice over of all time? Oh because Richard Burton is going to die and they're announcing it by WRITING it on the screen. Like, really? I can't figure it out by the grey clay they smeared on Grant Bowler's face to make him look older? Ugh.
- AHHHHH 3:03 - What is this? Oh my god. So many previews talked about them breaking the 4th wall and this weird black outfit/black background thing, but it's terrible. So bad. Not to mention LL's acting/voice. Like, she couldn't have even TRIED to do Liz's voice? UGh.
- I'm going to to have a stroke.
- She's not acting. She just has more eyeliner on than normal.
- Oh my god. This is so bad.
- His wig. It's so terrible.
- WHAT IS THIS WEIRD BLACK BACKGROUND THING? It's SO weird.
- 5:03 - I literally just yelped. Her acting so SO awful.
OMG!
Ok, I'm going to keep watching, but I can't do the whole thing. I keep having to pause to refill my beverage.
- 7:30 - Aaaaand, they said "spilling, white-hot bosom." Wow.
- 9:41 - This is like watching a high school play. But, like, a bad one.
- 10:39 - She was lying with cucumbers on her eyes OVER her Cleopatra eyeliner. Ummmm, what? And she's all surprised that she has a love scene with Richard Burton...I have a couple of issues with this scene:
- Did she READ the script? I don't understand how she could possibly be surprised.
- And really, she put CUCUMBERS ON her eyeliner and it's fine now? Um, it was 1963, it's not like they had good waterproof eyeliner then. Ugh.
- 14:30 - Her lips are unbelievable. So stupidly big.
- The music is SO terrible.
Ok, I'm going to finish it up and come back to you once I'm done with an update.
If I don't die from vomiting.
In summary, it's like Lilo thought some violet contacts, black eyeliner and three chins would make her Elizabeth Taylor. She is neither acting well or honoring the memory of an amazing actress with this farce. She should be ashamed that she has done this to Elizabeth Taylor's memory with her 6 packs a day voice and filler-injected face and her sometimes padded boobs.
Good god.
BTW - Got 90 minutes in and my husband came into the living room with this gem: "Can we watch anything but this? It's so bad."
He's an angel.
