^Ohhh thank you!! They show a lot of rare pictures at the part when they show the slides, also on the DVD if you go to the gallery they have a lot of rare ones, could you make screen caps of those by any chance?

oh lord, what a boob job

damn, those things stand straight up by themselves!

I always thought "I Shot Andy Warhol" had some inspired casting. Michael Imperioli was a perfect Ondine. The actors playing Brigid Polk and Viva were also really spot on. Warhol wasn't right, but I guess it's probably hard to imitate someone whose looks and mannerisms are as particular as Andy Warhol's. It was weird that they threw an Edie-like unnamed character in there, probably for appearance's sake, but Edie was long gone by the time Valerie Solanas and Candy Darling were in the Factory.

I still need to see "I Shot Ansy Warhol" i really want to though.

 

[babydoll1125]

I agree. That is a rude thing for MK to say. But she still doesn't answer the question - so does that mean she is going to play a skinny Brigid?
This movie is doomed. Because it's Hollywood, I just know they'll play up the drugs and sex, when they should focus on Edie's sad upbringing and all the tragedy in her life.

I know, they could make a movie about Edie's life that could really move people, it's not fair to lead everyone to think Edie was just a rich kid who was sad and did drugs at the factory, there's so much more to the story they're leaving out!

I wish they could end the movie the same way the book ended, maybe have the guy who talks about Edie while his in India read that end part of the book while they show slides of her, or even show him and his friend at the bar in India and then have Edie pop up at the end, because the ending of the book was really moving and sad, it basically summed up Edie.

Here are more rare pictures i've never seen before from livejournal,

You can see her dancing in this picture

though when she was dancing, if u'd call it that, in ciao, it was not a good sight, but my guess is that's how they danced, esp if they were f*cked up on a lot of drugs. kind of weird though. it the opposite of sexual when i see it. jerky movements, odd twists and turns, swaying to the music, but seemingly more drug induced than rhythm. anybody else think this or know if that was the actual style of dancing? kind of a stupid question, but i'm curious

Don't feel stupid, I actually wondered the same thing. I read somewhere that Edie was a really great dancer (and David Weisman says she was a 'natural' dancer on the Ciao! commentary) but that even her friends thought she danced rather odd. They called it doing The Sedgwick so I guess she just danced weird or shall I say, to her own drummer? Oh yeah, and I do think people just danced a little jerky back then but Edie's dancing in that scene in Ciao! was way out there and it looks like a bit druggy.

*please do not quote images*

Those are great pics! Karma for you !
I plan on adding a lot of stills from Ciao! Manhattanas soon as I can borrow my boyfriend's camcorder again. I keep forgetting to get it. But I am still working on cropping and editing dozens of other stills I took with those others. I just wondered if I would get in trouble for posting pics of Edie topless? There are just so many - because she IS topless for most of the movie. If anyone can let me know if topless pics are okay to post, I would be forever thankful!

^ Hm i dunno - maybe you should ask one of the moderators, send them a PM or something? I wouldn't mind seeing such pictures but maybe it's against tFS policies? i really don't know though..

 

[odelay]

I got the Ciao! Manhattan DVD hoping to make screencaps for all y'all but my computer doesn't have DVD decoder included. Anyone know of a downloadable decoder? I could take screencaps with my digital camera but they'll probably look like sh*t.

 

[babydoll1125]

^It actually works well with a digital camera. You wouldn't think it would but they turn out okay.

I just saw a Velvet Underground 'documentary' last night with footage of Edie dancing. It's the first time I've seen it on film. I liked the way she danced, compared to Ingrid Superstar who just copied her later on.

Have any of you seen this? The website is Factory Made, like the book, and the footage they have is of chuck wein talking about Edie.

"The restaurant is practically ready for landmark status. The original ''Casa B," as Harvard undergrads used to call it, was a seedy bar that attracted the likes of Jack Lemmon, Julia Child, Norman Mailer, Globe columnist George Frazier, and '60s ''It" Girl Edie Sedgwick, who ''set up court underneath the Brattle movie theater in the Casablanca bar, where everybody went," according to a family memoir authored by Edie's cousin, John Sedgwick. ''She had her first legal drink there the day she turned twenty-one and came into her grandmother's trust fund." (Sienna Miller will play Edie Sedgwick in a forthcoming movie, ''Factory Girl.")"

What was the documentary called?

You can also see her dance a little bit in Nico Icon, for those of you who havn't seen it.
