Liz and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Liz & Dick was a poo coup for Lifetime (cue upbeat Hamlishy music) because everyone seems to have seen it. I  learned so much about Liz! Did you know she and Dick made out ALL THE TIME at every opportunity? Also, Dick recites poetry like my cat pisses on all available surfaces. Cleopatra had some hideous bangs and, sorry, no one needs that much eyeliner. Dish received quite an education.

For reals: this flick is a stinker whose pacing is on beta blockers. Poor Lindsay tries to capture the icon but she doesn't seem to be acting. They should have cast Eva Green (the babe in Casino Royale) who can act. My second choice would be Christina Ricci, followed by Mia Kirshner. Elizabeth Taylor had a distinct personality and manner of speaking. Li-Lo doesn't come close. If she'd had an uninterrupted year of studying El-Tay, watching her movies over and over, she might have nailed it. I wanted her to do it. Dammit!

Ugh, I can't even comment on this next topic because it involves mentioning a vile person. I will just say that Jenny Johnson is my hero.

People can read all about the unmentionable in Paris Match--in French of course.

They managed to make Li-Lo up enough to create an illusion of Elizabeth but we must equally fault director Lloyd Kramer. I don't think Miss Lohan is some great actress but she has occasionally turned out some watchable work; how could Mr. Kramer allow her to speak in her own voice???? Even if Miss Lohan was incapable of Elizabeth's tone, having her slow down her speech would have helped enormously!- Also, Elizabeth moved like sexy feline while Miss Lohan moved through the set with the crash & bang of a wrecking ball!!!! BTW- go to IMDB and take a look at Mr. Kramer's film list, he has never directed a good film...
