Naomi Watts as Marilyn Manson In Biopic... I Mean Monroe
http://worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=17733&count=0
Thoughts? Me personally, I'm a man who enjoys something to grab on a woman, but I also can appreciate the sleek cheetah-like slenderness of a girl like Watts (or Keira Knightley for example). Why limit your options?
But as for Watts playing Monroe in a biopic, I'm not sure I can buy it. She's a beautiful woman, and I'm unsure as to whether or not she plans on adding a couple pounds for the role. But Monroe was a vivaciously voluptuous vomen, and Watts is definitely a sleek 'n' slender kinda gal.
I would think a gal like Scarlette Johanson would have the more suitable body type to play Monroe. But also too, it's just a body type, Watts has got the acting chops over Johanson and most other women, so who knows really. All i know is I won't be able to go see this movie in jogging pants.

Apparently there's a rival biopic in the works starring Michelle Williams as Marilyn. It's Truman Capote all over again!
Not only that, and I hate to pigeon-old or unfairly judge someone's entire being by one poor project: but did you ever hear her album she made of covers of Tom Waits tunes? It was terrible, and I'm not sure someone could be so sure of themselves and release something like she did, without people being weary of other projects she's involved with. I don't think she's got the voice either, but than gain maybe the harsh wraspy thing could do well in low levels? I don't know, but one thing for sure, after looking at those promo pics of Watts, she better eat a cannoli or two come time to shoot

She comes across as stupid in interviews.
I think Michelle Williams would be best out of the three... failing that, an unknown actress. That would be refreshing.

For some reason i really, really despised Michelle Williams for some time. I don't know if it was the Dawson history (which would be strange as I don't mind the dawson) or just her look. It wasn't until Shutter Island that I actually found her attractive and interesting.

I don't think Williams would be bad casting, I haven't really seen enough of her work to know whether she's got the chops, but physically she fits the bill.
I can't get the idea of Naomi Watts to gel at all. As mentioned, she's far too thin, and having seen her in a lot of films I don't think her general demeanor is appropriate for the role either. She's a bit of a sap, wet eyed and submissive. She always seems to play women who are like that, also. I don't think she would be convincing.
The real question is, do we really need another Marilyn Monroe biopic?

i didn't know we already had one, aside from various tv movies of course. And I just realized, that once, if and when this movie gets made, I don't think I'll even watch it. Marilyn has always been a sex figure to me, the most interesting part I think was who she slept with.

yeah i meant the tv movies.. not sure a big-screen film would really treat the subject matter any more seriously
Apparently, and this is only rumour, but people in the morgue queued up to have sex with her.
Now. I'm not condoning necrophilia. But I can't, in all good conscience, say I wouldn't peek under her dress.

How couldn't you?! It's one of those situations where you spend so much time and effort into not thinking about it, that you're compelled to do it.
I had grandfather who was an undertaker, he asked me if I wanted to see a dead body when i was six (now that I think of it, I find it odd he didn't use the term "recently deceased" or "client" or who knows, anything other than "dead guy" would have been mildly more appropriate, all things considered), he opened the door and I remember the guy was a tall, bald guy, with pale almost yellowish skin.

It's an old LA-centric joke.
Q: Who was the last person to have sex with Marilyn Monroe?
A: Thomas Noguchi
Can you explain it for the idiots who don't understand the joke? I mean, you know, I TOTALLY get it. Ha ha. But for the others?
Google Marilyn Monroe Thomas Noguchi.
Make some reserch!
Yeah guys! C'mon, all of you. He was the chief coroner! I'm sorry Mike. Kids these days, eh?
Now YOU tell us a joke that only a Londoner would get.
Well, as you of course know, I'm actually from a small town just outside London.
And of course I have a joke specific for people from there:
Q: Why did the Baker's Oven close down?
A: Because James Corden moved out from the flat above!
HAHAHAHAHA
I'm laughing because I think it means James Corden is a big fat fatass!
That's more or less it. We have very little to do in my town.
funny, I was reading your post thinking, "Scarlett Johanson." And it seems you agree. I think she would be just about perfect body wise, but I don't know if she could pull off the role. I'm reading Blonde right now and Marilyn is really an extremely complex character. I definitely think Naomi has a better chance of nailing the personality.
