Uh-oh. Does it mean it could really happen?

I respectfully disagree, as I think it was pretty well known even at the time that Stevie and the rest of the Mac were part of that debauched world of excess: all sex, drugs and rock and roll. She may not have spoken in detail about these things until later, but she was seen doing them.

I don't even like the Hohan that much, although I've never seen her in a film where she has stood out as being as terrible as everyone says (and I've seen all her films). I also think a movie about Stevie would probably be a mistake, but all the hypocrisy annoys me.

My pick to play Stevie would have been Drew Barrymore.

I didn't mean the wild, partying lifestyle, that was sort of a given, especially in that era. Nobody was questioning, nor surprised by those reports/sightings. I meant specific things like her relationships with married men, abortions, addictions...you know.

Oh - and none of them seems to have grown up with any sort of structure or parental guidance...though even WITH that...the young will a party

oh man - the fun
and the agony we'd have

but i do think there are actresses out there who would be much more DEDICATED in making it really ring true -
they are probably dying for a role like this -
i think lindsay only wants it to tag onto stevie's fame - which of course there is nothing wrong with wanting to get a meaty role but. . . .

i just can't help but think of faye dunaway as joan crawford -
a well-known playing a well-known -
sure it was great in a campy way -
but id hate to see this story told that way - (NO GREEN M&M"s EVER!!!!!)
and thats just how i think it would end up -

and just my opinion but i don't see the huge talent that others see in lindsay
- she gets a lot of publicity and that often is enough to draw people into the theatr ONCE- and thats what studios like and i think it is the gimmick that keeps her working instead of being put out for not being professional
- she is well known throughout america - not necessarily for her talent -

once again - im not trying to be mean - just don't see it -

and STRAND i love your pic
what about delta bourke in her hey-dey as la nicks?? without the machine gun except for once or twice

[trackaghost]

I think I'm going to bow out of the argument now, especially since I don't think this movie will ever be made.
They should make a movie about Peter Green though. I think that would be fascinating.

I know...do you hate yourself as much as I do for even getting involed in these arguments as much as you have

I think it's all for naught as well as the Hohan haters will remain so...
And yeah..I'm be very surprised if this project ever comes to fruition.

Damn, after saying I was gonna bow out...

But isn't that all we know about Hohan? That she parties too much with crappy people? Oh and she has a bad relationship with her dad. I'm not sure it's on the same level as abortions, using so many drugs you get a hole in your nose, having affairs with married men and marrying your dead best friend's husband. I know, I know these revelations came later! But Hohan's only young she still has time to do all these things too.

Stevie did almost all of these when she was in her 30's as I think she was like 28 when she joined FM - she just looked like a teenager.

Constantly. Discussing and debating is in my blood though and if I don't get a shot now and then I fear I might die.



Honestly, I don't think this project will come to fruition either, but maybe that's just wishful thinking... it's not really Lohan that's my biggest problem, the whole thing makes me nervous. I'd only want a story about Stevie's life if it came from Stevie herself, and even then the outcome could be questionable.

I'm not sure, I'll have to think about it but don't you think those early years in the band were weird enough to make an absolutely fascinating movie? The whole Jeremy Spencer thing too. I think it could be good!

We also know what her crotch looks like.

Yes! I just keep getting drawn back in! But I really doubt it will happen. It is funny though how the press has jumped on the story, but then there's been a Janis Joplin movie in the works for years and I think that's only happening now. I imagine a Stevie movie, if it does happen, will take quite a while to get going.

Oh I know..I remember in the early to mid 90s the talk was about Melissa Etheridge being in a Janis Joplin movie...never happened. Same for movies about Frida Kahlo...there was talk of that looong before it finally got off the ground...

So yeah...I'm sure this is not something that will coming out any time soon - and look at Lohan's pre-production schedule on IMDB...the girls packed full!
