Is there anyone, other than the Lifetime executives, that thought this was a good idea?

/is Bonnie Hammer running Lifetime, too?

What once was.....

I thought the "kitchiness" of Lohan was entirely WHY they hired her.

Diogenes		2012-11-16 04:26:35 PM

It would be one thing if she had the looks (for that role) or the acting chops. She has neither, so I don't get it.

Such a waste of potential in that girl.

Diogenes		2012-11-16 04:27:11 PM

Oh - I feel compelled to add - I'm totally watching it anyway.

groppet		2012-11-16 04:36:10 PM

I saw a commercial for it and just kinda stared at it and said "WTF" and had a giggle.

Turfshoe		2012-11-16 04:39:00 PM

I like how the tab on my browser says "Lindsay Lohan gets slammed"

It's a beautiful double entendre, too.

Every time I quote Mean Girls after a line and it makes sense. +drink.

Rhypskallion		2012-11-16 04:54:24 PM

Whoa whoa whoa--Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were an item???

She still has potential...as a spectacular suicide. Maybe she'll swallow a stomach full of gummy bears and blow herself up like a pinata.

ChubbyTiger		2012-11-16 04:56:19 PM

I never really understood drinking games. If I want to get blitzed, I hardly need a game for it, and if I want to remain sober(ish), then therer also bad idea. I think I'll drink heavily and then wank to the thoughts of one-upon-a-time Lindsay (see pictures above).

brap		2012-11-16 05:04:19 PM

I will watch anything that has anything to do with Elizabeth Taylor, no matter how ridiculous.

Seriously?

I hope there's a Fark thread for this when it airs.

Summoner101		2012-11-16 05:08:17 PM

The truly sad thing about Lindsey Lohan was the already low amount of red headed starlets was decreased by one

Liz & Dick sucks

ConConHead		2012-11-16 05:20:42 PM

I need to go watch Taming of the Shrew again now.

/I was the one who won the wager, though you hit the white.

Jiro Dreams Of McRibs		2012-11-16 05:20:46 PM

Benny Hill did the best Liz and Dick spoof. Lindsay has nothing on him.

Do not speak that name lest a pit opens beneath you and you descent into the netherworld.

Great Janitor		2012-11-16 05:29:00 PM

Not surprised. Also, with the amount of shiat the film crew had to put up with from her, I wouldn't be surprised if this was her last movie role or if the next one was a direct to video flick or a Syfy channel original movie.

Maybe she could star in "Bearantula"

Oddly enough she was probably more like Liz off camera.

Diogenes		2012-11-16 05:39:45 PM

Joan Rivers played her better.

fastfxr		2012-11-16 05:40:15 PM

I just wish she'd get nakeder...

Zombie DJ		2012-11-16 05:43:03 PM

I actually thought it was a SNL bit.

uncleacid		2012-11-16 05:52:56 PM

Let me guess, the movie ends when she crashes her car and dick is ejected.

She had a bit part in Scary Movie 50 ? something like that. She was accused of stealing some of the wardrobe when she left.

Flappyhead		2012-11-16 06:56:21 PM

Pretty much. It's a Lifetime movie, you can't expect actual star power. Cripes the only way I could see her getting the role in a full on Hollywood movie would be via a giant gangbang with every producer in California.

windowseat		2012-11-16 07:29:10 PM

Help me John Waters, you're my only hope.

epoch_destroi		2012-11-16 07:42:08 PM

Actually...

I got to see a screener for this as part of my volunteer work with my college newspaper.

Lindsay did shockingly well....I think she's well on her way to being a star again if she keeps this up.

What college do you go to? I was EIC of my college paper, and we didn't get shiat.

It's a Lifetime movie, let's back off on this "star" talk until she moves up to MTV.

mjbok: It's a Lifetime movie, let's back off on this "star" talk until she moves up to MTV.

More than one person said that she was a good actress, back when she had her shiat together.
But that won't help her if she keeps being such a trainwreck.

/I mean "people" as in reviewers and other actors.

I would agree, but I think it was more potential (since she was younger). I would say that ship has sailed.

Kenny B		2012-11-16 11:12:54 PM

I'm pretty sure this won't be the last movie she does with the name "Dick" in the title.

Haha, that's true, I'm being a little overzealous. Still, it was a refreshing performance.

Did you go to college from the 90s to now? That was the only way to get chicks drunk back in the day!

Cornelius Dribble		2012-11-17 01:39:51 AM

The author makes her living writing reviews of reviews (of tv movies). That makes her the only person I can think of whose career is in worse shape than Lindsay Lohan's.

Begs to differ.

The My Little Pony Killer		2012-11-17 02:25:29 AM

I saw a trailer for that when I went to see Man with the Iron Fist. She sounds like absolute shiat.

Type40		2012-11-17 09:02:52 AM

Well, she looks the part, and she's on her way to being as crazy as Taylor so I don't think she's such a bad choice, I might watch this, on Love Film in a few years.

Mark Ratner		2012-11-17 11:10:39 AM

Actually, I think she does look enough like Liz to make it believable.
