it's a film tho...:shock:

yes but obviously it blurs the line between reality and representation. unless someone has proof that david weisman wanted her to be totally zoned out, and also scripted the scenes where she talks about very personal experiences... there's no way that film was totally fiction. but that's just the way I see it. who knows, really.

babydoll, do you remember where that was from? it's alright if you don't, but that's really interesting...
 
I forget who said it but i remember someone saying that it was "her new drug." It was probably in the Jean Stein book if someone wants to look it up. I would look it up myself but i lost mine :(
 
I'm really sick of all these speculations about her, it's so annoying IMO
 
Thanks for posting loonaka! She looks so perfect in that picture she almost doesn't look real!
 
It would be great if Gerard Malanga starts his own TFS account and posts on this thread. Anyone has the guts to send an email to info@gerarmalanga and ask him that?
 
Thanks for the scan loonaka!

Don't know if you guys are interested in this, but I'm doing a project on Edie from my film class and I've made some transcripts from PLRG. I know alot of people complain that they can't hear what's being said due to music, so I figured this would be useful. I'll post it in sections and I'll try to find YouTube videos to correspond.

In this section Edie is getting ready to go to a dinner party honoring her brother. I couldn't find all of it on YouTube but here is most of it:

What's being said: (A=Andy, E=Edie)
A: Well if we're going to go to this dinner..
E: Oh I got to get ready...
A: Do you mind if I listen to some rock and roll while you get ready?
E: (shakes head) I'm almost ready anyway.
A: Well last time you said you we're almost ready too.
E: (laughs) Well I feel almost ready.
A: You feel ready?
E: Um..that isn't what I said. Is (can't make out name) coming?
A: Well if I say yes you'll be very unhappy and if I say no you'll be very unhappy, so what should I say?
E: Uh I don't know really, that's a perplexing question.
A: You look different.
E: It's because my hair is gray. I feel like trying, experiencing (or it might be experimenting). Well how do I look different?
A: I'm just saying that, I don't really think you look different.
E: Oh.
A: You don't look any different than you did yesterday.
E: Then I look different than when I did..
A: Last week, but that's not so bad.
E: Somebody told me that I change so much each time they saw me that they didn't recognize me. Do you believe that? I don't think it's true.
A: If they see you at different times of the day I could understand. You look look different when you come out in the evening than when you wake up.
E: Really? That's scary.
A: We could skip the whole thing and go to the movies for 8 hours and just walk out of one movie and into another. We've been wanting to do that all week anyway..
E: From one movie to another? I want..um..
A: We can go see horror films, we can see old films, new films...
E: Yeah, I aught to go to the (name of theater) and see some films.
A: Yes. (They both laugh)
E: But if I do that..
A: Then we can just go to the dinner anytime we want.
E: Well I sort of have to be there. Well if I'm not there..
A: I don't remember what it was for. What was the dinner all about?
E: Oh people you wouldn't even bother.
A: Oh how grim.
E: Well it will be people like (lists name) and (lists name). You think that will be too bad? Oh I don't know..
A: As long as you don't have to talk to them it's alright.
E: Talk to who? (lists name)?
A: Anyone.
E: Well (lists name) will do all the talking.
A: Well as long as you can drink and eat..and eat. (laughs)
E: That's the trouble.
A: Well let's go the movies.
E: Well I can't, uh, well if I eat anything I ruin it, don't I? I have to eat everything at once. And otherwise I can't eat at all. Do you understand what I mean? (laughs)
A: You have to eat everything...
E: Well I do eat like a pig when I eat. Oh can I eat. Isn't that awful? It really is. I was thinking it was because of (whispers some word).
A: Don't all these people know that?
E: Yeah it was Dorothy's idea. To get out instead of post..
A: Well she is on the dubious side isn't she?
E: Post mortom, is that right? Is there such a thing?
A: Are you celebrating for the..
E: Celebrating for what?
A: For what's her idea, that the person who died might want to be celebrated.
E: Um.
A: But it is good that people really get the most out of everybody else's death.
E: Well yeah, but I don't think I do.
A: I didn't mean you.
E: Somebody else?
A: Well why don't you put on..I'll help you get yourself together.
E: You will? You will help?
A: Yeah well why don't you, how about wearing this? You could try this.
YouTube, transcript by me
 
Thanks so much for the transcript.

Edie looks so funny with the bunny. I would love to know what she was thinking. It almost looks like the bunny is giving her a hard time.
 
I appreciate that so much. I actually watched a video of Edie a while ago and she mentioned something about beauty, and maybe something along the lines of not knowing what pretty means; but I couldn't really understand it :(
 
Me and my boyfriend went to the movies last night and saw Poor Little Rich Girl^^
 
thanks for taking the time to write that out, Scarlett! however she was actually talking to Chuck Wein, I think.
good luck with your project :flower:
 
I'm so sorry, ha ha I knew that. I was thinking about that picture with the bunnies when I was writing it out. lol

I have some more I can post if you're interested.
 
Someone asked about the video where she talks about being pretty. I tryed to transcript in, but it was hard. Alot of it was inaudible and I don't have time tonight to really investigate. It is interesting though, if someone wants to help fill in the blanks that would be great.

Transcript:
E: Oh where is that thing..
C: What thing?
E: Somebody set it...did somebody take my lighter? By accident?
C: Yes, it's over there.
E: Hmm thank you. (There is a line before, but I can't make it out, it starts with "and what is this?")
E: But I don't think this is a very good ash tray, do you? It's wood, it will burn up.
C: Dump it back in there..no put it back...no the other one, so it don't hit the wood.
E: Oh I got you..I got you. I did it backwards AGAIN!
C: Now here..that's the one.
E: (laughs) Who..
C: Take it, it's your lighter, that's what you want. Why don't you understand? (I think that's what he says..)
E: I know it's all just plain..it's too sensible, that's why I don't like men.
C: If you don't listen to anbody you won't have anybody to blame. Then what will you do?
E: What? I listen, I listen to you! Like Billy Grahm on the morning t.v. show. He's on television. I fell in love with him once. I didn't think.
C: You didn't think(can't make out what he says). What did he say?
E: I was talking about God.
(Inaudible)
E: I said..ah..he was talking about God, but all because we had a Greek dinner and I got sick. I felt terrible.
C: That's the reason he was talking about God.
E: No, that's why I turned on the television, in order to see Billy Grahm.
C: Where did you eat?
E: At something called the (name of restaraunt), it's stupid Greek food.
C: Well that's great if your losing weight. Is that why you volunteered?
C: (inaudible)
E: Only because when you and me cut my hair off so short.
C: I know you cut your hair off.
E: You did, you did.
C: Well you told me your hair was very thin and something like it was knotty, and because it ended up, it wasn't bushy enough. And then you said I think I'll have my hair cut.
E: Well that's true.
C: You had it cut
(A few inaudible lines)
C: Well that's what they call the boyish bob of the 20's.
E: Well then that makes earring all the more neccesary.
(inaudible line)
E: Then what are you complaining about?
C: I don't know, I just thought it was very...I don't know you did ask if I loved earrings.
E: Don't you think they're pretty?
C: Yeah I was going to ask if you thought you looked pretty. I said you have them because you think you look pretty in them. Don't you think you look pretty in them?
E: And I said I though they looked just pretty.
C: Oh.
E: You're making it seem as if I use earrings when it's just that i appreciate the fact that they look pretty all by themselves.
C: Well why do you wear them?
E: It's a nice addition.
C: Well you do think you look pretty in the earrings.
E: (inaudible) about pretty, I hate the word.
C: Do you wanna try one of them on? I'll try one of them on. Do you think they'll do me justice?
E: Do you justice?

A new video of PLRG was posted today:

wow!
thank you for transcripting. it´s really all very different when you read it, you don´t really get the context otherwise.
 
awe thanks Scarlett! There was actually one where she says something like i dont even know what pretty means" or something like that. When the time comes i'll ask you what you think she says.
This was appreciated though! :)
