The My Week With Marilyn Trailer
Because the HERP DERP Vogue cover of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe wasn't bad enough, here is a tiny peek of her in motion as MM in the preview for Simon Curtis' My Week with Marilyn that also stars Kenneth Branagh (as Laurence Olivier), Judi Dench, Emma Watson, Dominic Cooper, Julia Ormond (as Vivien Leigh) and Eddie Redmayne.
I've seen some shittier Marilyn Monroe impersonations (see: Lindsay Lohan) that really mulches all of the soil at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery and any trick (except Eddie Cibrian) who was in But I'm Not A Cheerleader can do no wrong in my eyes, but it's hard for me to look at this shit and not say, "Grams, come and get this child!"
By the looks of this trailer, Simon should've made Judi and Michelle switch roles. And then he should've taken a sharp switch to those parched bangs on Emma Watson.

~But.Seriously.Folks
Lindsay Lohan must be rolling in her grave...oh wait.
Well I'm sure she would have loved to be doing this.
They say she wrote this in a new book.

I like MW a lot but if anyone should play MM, it's Charlize.
She's the only actress I can think of who could even remotely pull it off. But what do I know.
Wait. Hermione is in it? I thought she was a magician? Well, a mudblood, really. I iz totally confuzzled!

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually think MW looks more like Marilyn Monroe than most actresses. The only thing that's off is she doesn't have that affected breathy little girl voice. The movie still seems like an odd choice.
----
If love had a dick I would eff with it. But it doesn't (it has a no crotch like Barbie).
Michelle...is just not working the Marilyn look. I'd still watch it.
A pointless, miscast movie. It'll bomb.
Who the fuck was the casting director for this?! Kenneth Branagh as Laurence Olivier? Julia Ormond for VIVIEN fucking LEIGH?! Really?
I hope this movie tanks. MM movies are played out.

I'll give it a go if I get the chance here in Germany as I - as a previous poster has said - love most people involved. MW as MM is not my cup of tea but she seems to pull it off OK. My idea of fun will be Kenneth Branagh as his idol Lord Olivier, his dream finally came true. Julia Ormond as Vivien, no idea about that one as you don't see her in the trailer. I would have cast

given green contacts and a believable accent.

Eddie Redmayne is the only reason I'll be watching this. Love me some scrawny awkward dudes.
It's true, IrishFury, we do have a lot of Lard Arses in Britain now, but in America one really does get served ENORMOUS helpings.
If they served such helpings over here, Britain would be a nation of Fat Bastards.
Vicky Pollard is a national disgrace, but sadly a perfect example of a certain sort of English girl (we call them "common", you'll know them as "Trailer Park Trash" ).
GOD BLESS AMERICA !, the Mother Country still loves you.
I dont remember Marilyn having a fat face...I just can't get over that, so I say NO

Oh come now Felix! (said in fancy Brit accent).
You know portions are huge in the UK too and most of you have also turned into Fatties.
I watch You Are What You Eat, you know!
And one of your greatest actresses, Miss Victoria Pollard - is also a fatty.
You are a Great and Enormous People!

As an English person I must say how much I adore America; you're all so terribly friendly and one gets such enormous portions in restaurants !.
With regard to the film: it looks as if it stinks like a barrel of shit.
I might see this just because I have a crush on Kenneth Branagh that I can't explain.
To clarify what I was saying earlier:
I had a college roommate and when she got mad, she would talk different. Instead of sarcastically saying, "Thanks for telling me," she start in with "thank you for neglecting to inform me" like that made her sound all smart and she'd win the argument. No! You dumb bitch! If you're right you'll win the argument! Using more syllables just shows me you're trying to sound smarter to cover your lame ass because that's the only way you'll win. Doesn't work for me! The content needs to be there.
For me, learning foreign language hasn't been so much about learning the foreign language (I took eight years of Norwegian and three years of French and have never really used them) but it works sentence structure and verb conjugation skills. It really improved my English; that's what I appreciate most about studying other languages. I don't think I'd ever visit Norway and not be able to find someone who couldn't really talk to me in English. (Maybe a couple of my cousins, but they're hillbillies.) This is really the sole purpose my 14 year old is taking French. I told her it would improve her English skills all around and I know it will raise her SAT scores.
I get your argument, coca, especially when ragged on about so many of us Americans not having passports. WTF, I'm poor, I can't travel. I have an enhanced driver's license to go to Canada and if I go to Mexico it's by car or boat. If I ever get rich enough to take a $4000+ European trip, I will get my passport.

The other point the Euros love to make is how untraveled we are. Well it's easy enough for them to travel to other countries because so many are just a train ride away, If every one of our states was a different country all US citizens could claim to be world travelers too.

Have you ever been to France? they're notorious for that over there. My nearly fluent French, albeit with an American accent, only elicited an eyeroll and a reply in English from the waiters in Paris (though I've heard that it's only the Parisians that are rude as all hell, and that the rest of France is actually quite nice).
Most Americans have no need to learn another language, being that English is the dominant language of the world at the moment, and we're only bordered by two countries--one of which speaks English--as opposed to Europe, where knowing at least 2-3 languages is an absolute necessity. I think that second language instruction in schools should be mandatory, but the "hurrr stupid Americans only know one language!" argument really gets under my skin. In 50 years we'll all be speaking Mandarin anyway so this will all be a moot point.
*********************************
All of this is so true! Do you know how many times I have heard the quote of "Only 2% of Americans have passports! " and it goes up to maybe 8% if they are feeling generous. Fact: it's far higher than that.
Also, if one travels for skiing, beaches, cliffs, moutains, canyons, volcanos, pretty much ANYTHING - it can all be done and seen here in our 50 states.
Is a German really that well-travelled if their annual vacation is sitting their asses on the beaches of Ibiza?
Granted, there's plenty of culture in Europe but there is just as much history here, but it's Native history that didn't have the same documentation as in Europe beause Native tradition was the spoken word, rather than the written one and most of them were wiped off by highly cultured European asshats anyway.
Visually, I can tell you that America is JUST as stunning as any other place. I think West Virgina rivals Ireland, any day of the week.
Futher, there is no real need to speak two languages here (although those in Cali, New Mexico, South Florida might disagree, si?!) and it doesn;t make one more intelligent.
People are determined to make America and Americans out to be dumb fucks, meanwhile they're all listening to hiphop, wearing jeans, using their iPhones and heading to Disneyland every chance they get and gorging on American pop culture - they cannot get enough!
Obviously there are exceptions but there are to everything.
As a Euro myself, who travels a lot and speaks more than one language - (and my Euro husband speaks 4 languages fluently)- America is addictive, and most people can't get enough. So much of this comes out when we realize how many of the world's people who "hate" us live for all the trappings of the American life.
So many homes for sale the world over now brag about having an American kitchen. An American-style home - I see it all the time in France (I am looking at real estate there as we may move).
The whole world doesn't love or want to be America, but the more I travel, the more I see people who can't get enough.
I say "we" because I live in America and have 3 yankee doodle mini-Furys.

I watch the trailer to see Julia Ormond as Vivian Leigh and it turns out she's a no show and doesn't even get a trailer credit. Bah!
I hate people who slag off on Marilyn. She WAS beautiful. She WAS talented. She WAS human. How many people are as well known as Marilyn is nearly 50 years after her death??? Give her a damn break. And I hate all these fucking false stories written about her. I've studied Marilyn for 20 years. Books like "Blonde" by JC Oates are fiction. As is Mailer's "Marilyn, A Biography". It's titled biography but is actually fiction. The best book written about Marilyn was by Sarah Churchill entitled The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe. It's time poor Marilyn was given some respect. Jesus.
Ok, stepping off my soapbox.

(And I'm hope you're not talking to me about assuming everyone on here is American. I'm usually the one calling out other people on that. I can't stand those types of people. Especially those who act grammar-nazi to people where English is not their first language. Most Americans don't even attempt to learn another language. You have me all wrong.)

I don't expect MM to say "Whaddya scahhhred, Colin?" But for Christ's sake, her act is way too over-the-top for me. She's just not a MM type. Awful. MM movies are getting to be like Holocaust movies. They need new ideas.
A total waste of time and money. And talent, but Im not speaking of Michelle Williams here, obviously.
All these hoes wanna be like Marilyn Monroe & they all fail. I type all of this as I stare up at 1 of my many Marilyn Monroe portraits.
Not even as a diehard fan, but Michelle Williams just doesn't do it for me. She's not sultry enough.
They should have gotten someone who knows how to better embrace their secksi.

Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. - Marilyn Monroe
Michele does not have the charisma to play Marilyn. IMHO
Michelle Williams is just plain awful.
I don't care when British people say "whilst" and things like that, it's part of their vocabulary. It's just pretentious Americans that bug me. And I wasn't talking about any commenters on here, I was talking about Michelle Williams whole faint act with the "Are you frightened of me..." The writers suck. I realize it was the 60s, but Jesus. They're trying to throw in 50 cent words to cover lack of screen writing skills. I can tell.
(And I'm hope you're not talking to me about assuming everyone on here is American. I'm usually the one calling out other people on that. I can't stand those types of people.

Pass.
...My darling can't you see
My heart sounds just for you my dear...
straight up AWFUL. it's michelle williams playing dress up as MM. hate it. won't see it. crapfest. MM didn't have a piggy nose and she didn't sound like that at all. michelle williams is one of the most overrated and annoying actresses around.
What a mess.

I have heard Michelle speak about Heath maybe once. I also think she established herself as an actor on her own by the many legit (Oscar, GG, SAG, etc.) nominations and awards she has won.
It's okay not to like her or think she isn't attractive but come on, your statement wasn't even close to accurate.

It's hard to find anyone who really captures Marilyn Monroe's presence.
People who say she's a shitty actor and a slut are ignorant assholes by the way.

I hate people who use words like "frightened" instead of "scared" or "difficult" instead of "hard" or "shall I?" instead of "should I?" Just sounds like they're trying to use more syllables or to use British-speak to sound smart or something.

Yeah, that usage of correct grammar and vocabulary? Total snob action. Thank God you Americans are working so hard to rid the world of any semblance of education or intelligence.

I'll see it no matter what. Conventional story is that Larry wouldn't give MM the attention she wanted, viewed "Showgirl" as a light frolic piece, and that when he did approach the material as seriously as she demanded, the blonde didn't understand what he was saying. And then there were the pills.

Haha. Based on a true story. Yes, there really was a woman named Marilyn Monroe. Other than that, this is all bullshit.
