Grey Gardens The Movie - pics!

FIRST DAY OF SHOOTING - and all they can talk about is Drew's cellulite

---

I think she looks great!

Such a beautiful woman, and I think she looks perfect for the role.

I'm really hoping she pulls this off!

---

Do we know when it will be released?

---

Now this is her as Little Edie in earlier days, right?

---

I wasn't looking forwardto this at all, but I like the pictures and, if you're right, best12, it could be an interesting movie.

---

I didn't think I would buy Drew Barrymore in this film at all (I was pulling for Toni Collette), but those pictures look astonishing and she seems to capture the air of Little Edie. Hope it's a good film.

---

Drew looks great, and it's a role that Lange can obviously nail, but I'm still worried about Drew's acting chops. Furthermore, Little Edie did not have a pronounced lisp (or any lisp at all, for that matter.)

Furthermore, Little Edie did not have a pronounced lisp (or any lisp at all, for that matter.)

Maybe that will finally give her reason to be taught to speak without it. I mean, I know it's kind of her trademark, but if it affects the character she needs to learn when to use it and when to lose it.

I didn't say it could.

You have to go through speech therapy. Something she should have done long ago.

Not that her lisp is something she should be ashamed of. But, as an actress, she should train herself to know how to control it.

---

Get back to us when you manage to pull that stick out from deep inside your ass.

---

I'm interested to see if her accent evolves throughout the movie, rather than starting out chewy. I'd love to see it shift from Park Ave socialite who summers in the Hamptons and schools in CT to that really twisted version that 30 years of isolation can bring.

---

I think it's common to take on the accent of a new environment. Ten years in San Diego drastically morphed my Rhode Island accent into something new and different. Being back in RI for fifteen years has morphed it again into something even stranger.

I don't know of any recordings of Edie as a young girl but she grew up on Park Ave, not Long Island. I'd guess that she had a much more refined finishing school accent, probably closer to Jackie and Lee's, that became mixed with that distinct Long Island accent. I'm just supposing. Bit I can't imagine her speaking that way at Miss Porter's school and getting away with it.

There is one thing I find very interesting about the way Edie and her mother speak. Everything is described in absolute terms. Everything is "completely wonderful" or "completely awful" or "absolutely brilliant" or "entirely wrong." It's all extreme black or extreme white, nothing is just okay or a little annoying. It's either a disaster or it's the best.

I wonder if that's a class thing,where everything had to be perfect or it was unacceptable, which is ironic considering the conditions they lived in. Or is it just the particular penchant these two had for high drama.
