This is the best film I've seen in a while. It makes me want to wear scarves on my head and go crazy. In a good way.

To the contrary, this made me clean out my closets and my wardrobe and throw out all the nonsense in my life.

But it is a great movie. I thank MFC for introducing me to it.

Hmm my mom just watched it and she said I should, I will now that you guys say its good.

I really liked it. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but there are certain people I know that I've told have to watch it. Esp. artists of almost any kind.
How awful is it that it was made into a broadway show. Ick.

Ick is right. I didn't know that, and wish I still didn't.

It has also made me decide that I can't live much longer without a pair of white heels. Maybe two days, tops.

Okay, apparently it gets worse. According to Wikipedia:

Drew Barrymore?

Will she play a younger Little Edie or Little Edie as we see her in the original Grey Gardens? Is Jessica Lange old enough to play the mother?

Jessica Lange is old enough to play Jesus.

While this is true, Barrymore isn't quite old enough yet to play Little Edie circa Grey Gardens.

True, true.

I had to think about this for a second, I can't even think of anyone fit to play her. Courtney?

Courtney could play Big Edie, yes. She has the hair for it, to put it nicely.

Drew Barrymore's in Grey Gardens
Charlie’s Angels star teamed with Jessica Lange for real-life tale

Drew Barrymore appears to have found the role that’ll take her away from her usual comfort zone of rom-coms and Charlie’s Angels. Grey Gardens is anything but warm and fuzzy.

She’ll play Little Edie, an eccentric relative of former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy in a fact-based drama (read: some truth, a whole lot of supposition). Jessica Lange has also signed on, playing Big Edie Bouvier Beale, her mother. The pair were the cousin and aunt of Jackie K and hit the headlines across the pond when Kennedy had to step in and rescue her family from public ridicule after the pair let their house get a little, shall we say, natural, with fleas and raccoons as their uninvited housemates.

The Edies were featured in a 1976 documentary, also called Grey Gardens, and that caught the attention of ads director Michael Sucsy, who has written the script and will direct the film. "You couldn't capture the eccentric nature of those women better than the documentary did, but it left me with so many questions of what led them there," Sucsy told Variety.

It’s too early to tell, but you’ve got to wonder if they’re all hoping that eccentric = Oscar bait.

Total Film - Drew Barrymore's in Grey Gardens

I think people admire it as some sort of permission to go crazy and live off the map in a nonsense world of your own design.

The thumbs up made me giggle.

I really wish they'd leave it alone. I don't care who plays who: the entire goodness of Grey Gardens is ruined by replacation. Just LEAVE IT ALONE.
