My Week With Madonna

Imagine?

That's kind of what I initially felt when I first saw the publicity photos of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe for the film, My Week With Marilyn. Overall an entertaining movie, Monroe enthusiasts may take some issue throughout the film.

Last night while watching, I was having flashbacks of Innocence Lost. "I'm not a Model T, you can't just crank me up", screams an erratic Marilyn Williams using a Monroe quote from her final interview with Life Magazine's associate editor, Richard Meryman, 5 years after the filming of The Prince and The Showgirl. That kind of shyt always bugs me out.

I was excited to see it. I liked the movie, didn't love it. For a few (brief) moments, I saw Michelle looking like Monroe. Those are tough shoes to fill, she was pretty good and that's all I will say about the movie.
