Helena Bonham Carter Is Going To Show Lindsay Lohan How It's Really Done
It's probably impossible to top Lindsay Lohan's complicated, multi-layer and emotionally raw performance as Elizabeth Taylor, but Helena Bonham Carter is going to try. (Note: A popped pimple on Helena Bonham Carter's ass could top Lindsay Lohan's performance.) BBC4 is doing their own Liz & Dick movie and they got HBC to play Elizabeth Taylor and Jimmy McNulty from The Wire (born name: Dominic Gerard Fe West) to play Richard Burton.
BBC4's Burton & Taylor will only focus on the short time in 1983 when La Liz and Richard Burton starred in Private Lives together on Broadway. Liz and Dick weren't bumping nipples at the time, but they were still fighting and getting crazy backstage. HBC told the Daily Mail that she knows her face looks nothing like La Liz's face, but it's not about that and blah blah blah:
"I look nothing like her for a start but it’s about capturing the essence of them at a particular time. She was and continues to be a fascinating woman and she was a huge star. There’s no one comparable around now."
The world doesn't need another movie about Elizabeth Taylor the same way Grey Goose doesn't need another call from White Oprah begging them to let her be a taste tester, but at least Helena Bonham Carter can step away from playing a psychotic, crazy-eyed, twig-covered forest witch in ANOTHER Tim Burton movie. But really, I'd rather Helena Bonham Carter put on her witch makeup from Big Fish to play Lindsay Lohan in a BBC4 biopic about the making of Lifetime's Liz & Dick.
And more importantly, when are we going to get a biopic about the life of von Ryan from the White Diamonds commercials?!

Helena has her work cut out for her...I mean how is she going to beat the nuance? the subtlety, the immersion that was Lohan's triumph....its going to be close.
I thought that was Rizzo from Grease!
Let's all just be glad they're not making another Marilyn Monroe movie.
P.S.- I love Helena Bonham Carter!

HBC can certainly pull this off. Will she wearing violet colored contacts? Might look freaky.
I have no interest in seeing a Liz and Dick movie but HBC is very talented and I'm sure it will turn out great. Unlike some OTHER L and D fake ass movie.

Eddie Cibrian can play Michael Lohan. He needs the work.

You know his ass won't work, lol. He's waiting for LeAnn to make a comeback so he can revel in that for a bit before divorcing her and asking for palimony.

GG, they need to remake Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with Blohan, Porn Iguana and who else, Miley? Ke$hit? Teen Mom? Then for the Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, they can replace them with Jenna Jamison, the Empress of Lucite and... Katie Price? Octo? (with the appropriately dyed hair of course) The possibilities are endless on the "beauties" to choose from! ;p

This is going to make Blohan jealous.
For some reason I think Helena can pull it off. She's playing Elizabeth in her 50's during the height of her alcoholism too so she doesn't have to be a glamazon.
And you total sourpusses whining about more Elizabeth exposure should shut up. Whine about Marilyn Monroe or Ms. Hepburn, they're the over-exposed ones.

I don't get what is so fascinating about Liz Taylor. Other than the rest of us, anyway.
I like HBC however.
------------------------------------------
Sometimes to understand the fascination about an icon you have to research the era they lived in to get some context of their "greatness".
For example, when I first became aware of Ray Charles he was already in the business for 20 years or so. I didn't get older folks love of him, he was kind of a joke to me with the way he moved. When I got a little older and gained a little appreciation of music I heard his breakthrough album, the one that put him on the map. Still nothing, it sounded like the same music he'd always done to me.
But then I realized that until that album came out, no one had ever heard country music done with a jazzy, gospel styled interpretation before. The way he took music he grew up listening to, ran it thru his mind and came up with these new interpretations.
It was genius and that's what they called him, "The Genius".
That's how it is with Liz, ya gotta get an idea of her era and how she affected it, how she stood out from the rest.

GG I think they should do this, but only if they cast Courtney Love as Blohan.

McNULTY! I miss The Wire, now that was some gooooooood tv
============================================
The Wire was the second best TV show ever made, Sopranos was the first....(IMO) :P
I think there should be a Blohan biopic. Can you imagine the horror of Blohan watching some dirty scarecrow with a shitty weave staggaring around in alleys and being turned away from hotels with gypsies screaming in their faces, all while wearing gowns from forever 21.

Like Johnny Depp people forget Helena is actually walented because all they can remember from the past decade is one shitty Burton movie after another. Bu when she finally does something else (like The King's Speech) I'm always reminded that she is a great actress and a gorgeous woman.

Give it a try. The bitterness in the chocolate melds somehow with the vodka and you get some bite from the ginger. You just sip it, after a couple you barely taste the alcohol in the vodka. It's really good IMO.

The only nice thing I had to say about Liz and Dick was the costuming was gorgeous, and the guy that played Burton gave it the old college try even though he knew he was acting in a shit fest.
Dominic West should make a pretty good burton, and HBC is such a good actress she could make playing drying paint be good.

I'll be honest I don't really have a favorite Vodka per say and I do like a lot of em BUT I just know Grey Goose tastes like ass.
An old exchange student friend of mine came in from Poland for a visit a couple of years ago and brought me a bottle of ???? and that ??? was the smoothest tasting Vodkies I have ever ever tasted. It had no English on the bottle at all and to this day I dream of that stuff. I'll have to see if he remembers what he brought as we still email each other.
"But really, I'd rather Helena Bonham Carter put on her witch makeup from Big Fish to play Lindsay Lohan in a BBC4 biopic about the making of Lifetime's Liz & Dick."
BAHAHA! Yeah, I'd watch that :D
It will be better quality I'm sure except I think HBC should do her own I'M BORED!! scene just for shits and giggles..
I hope it's critically acclaimed and they use Hohan's version as a tool in the actor's studio for what NOT to do.

Wasn't HBC goth before it was considered cool?
I think she's a decent actress. With BamBam, she was very good in King's Speech.

Just don't see why the need to rehash her life over and over. She is somewhat like Michael Jackson, bigger than life with lots of baggage.
We'll be seeing a bio on him pretty soon I'm sure.
Sounds like something worth seeing.

Sometimes I would get some chocolate covered candied ginger, pop 'em in my mouth, chew 'em up a little, put the bottle to my lips and pull a shot like a kiss then swirl it around and swallow. Man, I would get sooo lit. Tasty!
-------------------------------------------------
Oh that sounds amazing. I'm not a generally a vodka person either but I have got to try that. I think my favorite vodka is by Three Olives, especially their Birthday Cake flavor.
OT: don't care & sick of biopics, wish Hollywood would come up with some original ideas yadda yadda.
What's the vodka in the skull bottle?
