and so so is Cate Blanchett. granted Bob Dylan is considered a legend but wtf? the scene is just stupid. who really enjoyed that scene?

I actually couldn’t watch until the end it was so stupid. There’s nothing worse than squares being into something you love; like finding out that guy you hate at work loves all the same bands as you

Cate Blanchette is a genius, i felt the thrill of the Ginsberg meeting

Who knows if this scene will even be used in the film… I’m just as excited as all hell for the film… it’s not going to be just another stale bio-pic

I can’t wait for this movie.

Hah, I wonder how many other little references are slipped into the script. “See You Later Allen Ginsberg”, for those sad enough to not be familiar with the complete basement tapes, is a recurring line in a tongue-in-cheek jam from those sessions.

who is supposed to be Lennon in that? no good.

Maybe you’re square too, Ghost Mutt.

That is not Lennon. But a fairly convincing Dylan, especially by the opposite sex.

Blanchet has D down pat. The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face.

Gruff voice? Sounds like dylan would sound after sucking some helium…

The critics may dig this film, and I may dig this film, but the ticket buying public is going to hate it. This is too eclectic and experimental for a straightforward bio-pic like “Ray” or “Walk The Line”, and audiences will not show up. Dylan deserves a better bio-pic.

Don’t laugh, but I think Adam Sandler (alone) could have made a Dylan bio-pic into a popular and respected film. He’s been looking for the right dramatic vehicle – plus he plays guitar, has a reedy & nasal voice, and did you see his haircut in “Reign Over Me”? He looks just LIKE Dylan!

Voicedude, as you so, err, cleverly call yourself:

Have you seen the whole movie? Let me stop you there: no, you haven’t, nobody has yet. It wasn’t ready for Cannes and, per my understanding, isn’t even finished yet. It seems highly presumptuous to claim that Dylan deserves a “better” biopic, when you can’t say with any certainty how good this one is.

What I DO know is this: Todd Haynes is an amazing filmmaker. And I personally could do without another streamlined, conventional biopic. “Ray” and “Walk the Line” are competent, respectable, modestly enjoyable efforts that say little to nothing particularly relevant about the men they portray. “I’m Not There” looks like a genuine attempt to understand and dissect the Dylan mythos, and paint a picture of the man and artist that’s as complicated as his vast body of work. You want a straightforward version of his life, seek out one of the several documentaries that have been made about him.

Will audiences stay away? Probably, but what bearing does that have on the quality of this experiment? Me, I’m going to give it a shot.

Anyway Voicedude (it hurts me even writing that misnomer of a moniker), if you do indeed end up “digging” it, who cares what everybody else thinks? Just wondering.

I can’t believe they have a girl playing Bob Dylan! She may look a bit like him with the glasses and stuff, but you can tell by the voice; it’s definately not a guy – and the cheeks are girly.

John Lennon is supposed to be the guy who says ‘Do you suffer from sore eyes, groovy forehead, or curly hair? Take Zimdon!’ I’ve seen the actual video this is based off, with the real Bob Dylan and John Lennon in it, onn YouTube. You can tell Bob’s plaed by a girl, the cheeks are too high, and the hands are definately a girls. If it had a better portrayal of Dylan, I would maybe see this. But come on, I mean, a girl playing Bob Dylan? Get real.

Are you kidding me Hollywood? A girl playing Bob Dylan, wtf is this world coming to?

It’s actually pretty remarkable how much this matches footage from “Don’t Look Back.” The speed-laced hand movements and face rubbing are right on. This will either be great of awful, either way I’m buying a ticket.

Why is David Cross playing Rick Rubin?

This is absolute trash. When are people going to realize that no one will ever be able to play dylan. And to top it all off, cate blanchett?? Am i the only one who see’s this as a piece of trash from a pop headed director who wants to jam something down our throats? Plus we already know this film sucks becuase if it worth anything other than my shit, a better director would have done it.

This movie should be musically somewhere between Rick Springfield in ‘Hard To Hold’ and Lea Thompson in ‘Howard The Duck’. How exciting!!

If any of you had been around for the beginning of the Dylan era you would know that is a joke being played out…seems like you all bought it, pro or con. man

I can’t believe some of you people. So what if it’s a girl? They’re really not trying to hide it. It’s called “I’m Not There” and there are 6 (or 7) different people playing 6 (or 7) different sides to Bob Dylan. It’s not that hard to grasp. Don’t bother watching it if you’re expecting crap like Ray or Walk the Line.

CB looks like a good Dylan. But if that was supposed to be Lennon, then someone totally screwed up. Did he even have a British accent???

I’ve been really looking forward to this flick…but that clip was just awful. I seriously can’t think of anything good about it.

And that was supposed to be John Lennon?! What?!

Bea Arthur is a serial killer.

I’m pretty sure that was not supposed to be John Lennon.

he really does

it don’t matter wot you think .. that’s the point ..

Dylan knew Ginsberg way before 1966, how could they screw that up so bad

did you people watch the clip? they say it’s Allen Ginsberg probably 3 times. i really don’t see how someone could think it was John Lennon.

You could totally tell that was a woman. Why did they do this sort of casting?

Cate Blanchett is a great actress but COME ON!Look for Wynona Ryder as the Boss in Born To Run:The Bruce Springsteen Story at a theatre near you.

That was horrendous. She is much to feminine to play even the most asexual, effeminate of characters- in fact, any man. They also had Ginsberg’s looks down but that’s about it. And I figured that was Alan price of the Animals, not John lennon being portrayed. I’m tired of the idea, started by the great Dylan himself with “Renaldo and Clara”- of different actors or singers in the same piece playing Bob Dylan.

This BOB dylan and
Zeitgeist movie
interesting stuff to see.

That was fuckin horrible

Well, well…..I’m not…so there “Dickie”

you people are all f***ing idiots!

Next: Metallica’s James Hetfield played by an 12 year old Vietnamese. Just kidding, I think the Bylan biopic sounds interesting.

i really thought todd haynes wouldnt make dylan into a charicature in this film, but i guess i should have seen this coming seeing his work on velvet goldmine… what the fuck was dylan thinking approving this… hopefully christian bale can atleast make this worthwhile… he better be the bornagain dylan i love

That was dissapointing. Cate Blanchett is a gifted actress, but it’s almost unheard of to cast a female in a lead male part in modern cinema. It works better in theatre, where the aesthetic and acting properties are much less centered around reality and more grounded in fantasy. It looks like she can barely breathe trying to convince us that she’s Bob Dylan. Her dialogue is hushed and barely audible, not in the least convincing. Though her appearence is a little convincing, so I’m sure this part could pass as a cool cameo in the finished movie. I’m baffled though, as to why they couldn’t have leaked a scene with Heath Ledger or Christian Bale, both of which seem like compelling and convincing choices to portray Dylan.

Huh?

That’s not supposed to be John Lennon, it’s Bobby Neuworth who was Dylan’s tour manager/hanger-on in the mid-60’s.

Dylan w/tits! Too bad we couldn’t have at least seen them.

I’m glad that dylan is so confident with his own work that he only wants people doing nutty stuff like this.

why would anyone want to see some actor try to be dylan in a formulaic “biopic”?

this movie, regardless if it’s good or bad, is part of dylan’s art.

good for him

Zeitgeist movie

There seems to be a constant scourge at what Dylan was and is, Dylan isn’t worried at this and so it should be. The luminaries of popular ‘culture’ seem to thing that by presenting such work to the general public in order to entertain they might spark a verbal conflict between the ‘Faux Dylanites’ and the ‘Dylanists’ I see them laughing all the way to thier safety deposit boxes, bless thier little stone cold hearts.
Dylan is in you and without Dylan there is no conflict, Dyla has become commoditised, branded, shelved and institutionalised by all who claim to beautify him. Dylan is Dylan and yet he is Zimmerman in Dylan clothing, beware all who cry Dylan!
Peace, Love, Freedom
Tom O’Rourke

I’m pretty sure the worst part of this scene is not Cate Blanchett but the girl who says, “Oh my god! It is!”

Has anyone mentioned that John Lennon is being portrayed in this scene as well!?

This movie looks interesting.I hope it gets a wide release,I’d love to see it.
