Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle: Resume

[RatedArggg]

I saw this movie and thought JJL was SO good - now I don't remember why I thought that.

[spunkypunkchick]

huh i see why u referred me here harmon she is like me 8D

[Blaqueheart666]

I have heard the actual recording the Glorious Lady Parker had read of this tome, in later years. Quite the mark, I would say. And true to those who know, regardless of how the words are spat.

[TheAnatomyofLove]

her accent is THE WORST EVER. I had to stop watching it because it bothered me so much...

[AestheticallyWitty]

I love dorothy parker!

[wisesatyr72]

ugggggggggg I hate the way modern cinema portrays the 1920s and 30s. Awful, simply awful

[LouisVideosInc]

@MGMingenues3 Thank you for saying this! So many of my friends think this is a brilliant film but I am baffled by the absurdity of the extent to which the dating takes place- suddenly everyone in the 30s had a drawl and dressed like that? It's a cheap technique to give the illusion of superior film-making and distracting from the plot and characters.

[MGMingenues3]

@LouisVideosInc Exactly!! I watched 15 seconds of "Amelia" with Hilary Swank and had to turn it off because of that imaginary drawl that supposedly everyone had in the 1930s. Everyone is trying to hard to do a variation of Katharine Hepburn. It's embarrasing.

Girl, Interrupted!

[pepprrr]

critisism aside.. by far my favourite DP poem.

[tinglywoowoo]

For the most part, I thought the movie was a delectable thrill ride. JJL served up the Parker role with just the right amounts of insouciance and unsheathed candor. There was no mawkish effort made to try and varnish over Parker's corrosive style. She suffered no fools gladly, and one so intellectually endowed would be certain to see the world as being rife with offenders.

[JakeDonaghue]

she does very well her voice! that must have been difficult!

LOL

What is the name of this movie?

[ranidekoning]

Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle

[phryedbanana]

One of my favorite movies. What a cast! Mizz Parker is one of my most adored. And the script from the movie weaves in lines from her poems and short pieces. Fantastic little snippet.

[degenericni]

she said it horribly

[johnirishhere]

indeed.

[calebtravers]

she was portraying her character as drunk and apathetic... I thought it was a fine depiction of both...

[degenericni]

it's too theatrical

[miasma9]

[egiappaige]
