If you haven't guessed by now, yes this is what Ive been up to these last few days - killing braincells by watching movies about famous and non famous peoples out of control drug problems. I'm drawn to the gritty story lines and tragic endings, so I thought I would share.
The Doors - Amazing movie. Val Kilmer literally killed it in this one.. I couldn't have imagined anyone else playing the Lizard King. And Meg Ryan as an "ornament".. pretty hysterical. There were a few really funny lines, here are some of them:
- Jim: "Where's your will to be weird?"
- Jim: "Actually I don't remember being born, It must have happened during one of my black outs."
- Jim: "This is the strangest life I've ever known."
- Ray Manzarek: "I feel the universe functioning perfectly but I'm still perfectly locked inside myself. Instead of oneness, I feel isolation."
- Andy Warhol: [to Edie] "You're the boss, applesauce."
- Edie Sedgwick: "I went to a party once, and there was a palm reader there and when she looked at my hand, she just froze. And I said to her "I know. My lifeline is broken. I know I won't live past thirty."
- Andy Warhol: "I wonder if people are going to remember us?"
Edie Sedgwick: "What, when we're dead?"
Andy Warhol: "Yeah."
Edie Sedgwick: "Well I think people will talk about how you changed the world."
Andy Warhol: "I wonder what they'll say about you... in your obituary. I like that word."
Edie Sedgwick: "Nothing nice, I don't think."
Andy Warhol: "No no, come on. They'd say, "Edith Minturn Sedgwick: beautiful artist and actress..."
Edie Sedgwick: "...and all around loon."
Andy Warhol: "...Remembered for setting the world on fire..."
Edie Sedgwick: "...and escaping the clutches of her terrifying family..."
Andy Warhol: "...Made friends with eeeeverybody, and anybody..."
Edie Sedgwick: "...creating chaos and uproar wherever she went. Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind."
[laughs]
Edie Sedgwick: "That's nice, isn't it?"
- Nancy: "I'll never look like Barbie. Barbie doesn't have bruises."
- Nancy: "I hate my fuckin' life."
Sid: "This is just a rough patch. Things'll be much better when we get to America, I promise."
Nancy: "We're in America. We've been here a week. New York is in America, you fuck." - Nancy: [Pointing] "No! Look, that's the roller ramma. Sid, I won a roller skating trophy there when I was six years old."
Granma: "Nancy, don't fib."
Nancy: "Fuck you, Grandma."
A very honest and no-nonsense movie, oh and with a cameo by David Bowie, who also handled the soundtrack.
Its good to watch a movie every now and then that will make you think and possibly appreciate your life so much more. Even if that only lasts a minute or so.

Love Jim, LOVE The Doors...Love Edie too...their respective movies - at least, their dopplegangers - were dead on. And no one beats Oldman, though I'm not personally a fan of the Sex Pistols.
Fabulous stills!
Gotta see Factory Girl asap!

i haven't watch any of them.. not my type of movies. But i'll keep them in my list of must watch. They sound really great.
That last one sounds so intriguing!
I've only seen Factory Girl of the others... I didn't know the story behind the people, I just knew names. It's sad what fame does to people.
I thought of a movie along the lines of these but it had a good ending. & now it's slipped my mind. If I remember, I'll be back!
