when i was watching i just saw lindsay... like not elizabeth taylor at all. but in her defense, the writing was pretty shitty.

Lindsay kept taking me out of the movie. I'd be wrapped up in one scene with Dick than immediately ripped out of it when "Liz" appeared.

Felt too much like watching Lindsay play dress up.

tbh that's how she's always been. she's never been a believable actress to me. all you see is lindsay lohan trying to play a role. idk sometimes it looks like she's about to laugh, like she's embarrassed reading her lines or something. a good actor/actress makes you forget about the person behind the character. she does not achieve that at all.

thats how i feel about how, before her problems and before her career sunk. i never found her attractive or talented in any way and the tone of her voice is grating.
