"Biel would play Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges.” I’ve seen this movie before, usually on Showtime, late at night. It was good, but for some reason none of the women ever wore tops.
Lest you think this is just your run-of-the-mill softcore porno written by a former Vice President’s daughter, they’ve mixed in some political mumbo jumbo. Apparently Joyce takes her super-horniness to Washington in order to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured. There, she meets an immoral congressman played by Gyllenhaal and screws him, and then uses her screwing him to benefit her crusade and start a career in politics. It was either that or porn. Politics was probably the better choice, though the difference between the two is rather minimal.
Side note: Jake Gyllenhaal is now officially the luckiest dude on the planet. I would literally be willing to sleep with Heath Ledger if it meant being able to play his role in this movie. Perhaps that was his plan all along.
I also want to go on record as saying that this will be the best movie of the year, whichever year it ends up getting released in. It’s also fairly realistic. Just imagine all the good Jessica Biel could accomplish in the world if she ever actually unleashed her out of control libido. Her hotness has already fooled the world into thinking she’s a great actor, she should take it a step further and go into politics. Why not negotiate Osama’s surrender or use it to reduce the national debt? Success is inevitable. She’s irresistible". Source: www.cinemablend.com
"Emile Hirsch, who plays skateboarder Jay Adams in the movie, gets ready to demonstrate one of his key moves. "Mike!" he yells to co-star Michael Angarano as he attempts to slide his skateboard across a narrow metal rail and then land with his feet on the board. "This is what I spent years working on."
"Or not," Hirsch concludes as he botches the landing. The ultra-relaxed on-set vibe helped.
"Heath doesn't hide out in his dressing room," Alva says. "He built a camouflage tent, we had easy chairs, bongos, acoustic guitars, all the cutest chicks on the set."
Hirsch adds with an appreciative laugh: "It was like Woodstock."
The guys had skate doubles and play down any skating-related injuries, but the most serious one befell director Catherine Hardwicke, who fell and fractured the orbital bone in her face. "And I pulled my back during training. It got inflamed," Hirsch says.

"Gemma Arterton is everywhere at the moment! The young actress is inescapable whether heading to the cinemas – she currently stars in Richard Curtis’s new comedy The Boat That Rocked – or opting for some home entertainment snuggling up to James Bond (Daniel Craig) in Quantum of Solace new out on DVD. She recently picked up the Best Newcomer prize at the Empire film awards and has just wrapped shooting video game adaptation Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal. Whoa – I’m exhausted and need a little lie-down just thinking about it all. But Gemma has made time in her busy schedule to help launch the Virgin Media Shorts competition, an opportunity for aspiring filmmakers to get their work seen by important industry bods. And for the occasion, she has sought inspiration from one of her onscreen idols, emulating the immaculate Elizabeth Taylor in 1958 classic Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.In the MGM adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play, Taylor oozes irresistible sex appeal as Maggie ‘The Cat’ Pollitt, who draped on a brass bed and dressed in a white negligee tries to attract the attentions of her boozing hubby Brick (Paul Newman). And Gemma has faithfully recreated every detail of the scene, from the skimpy clothes to the alluring look". Source: boxwish.com
Scarlett Johansson and Jake Gyllenhaal at the MTV Movie Awards, on 5th June 5, 2004. "Scarlett Johansson is denying comparisons to the late Marilyn Monroe, and is insisting she shares very little with the former screen star. Johansson was compared to Monroe after an advertising campaign for Dolce & Gabbana was revealed last month, in which the actress poses seductively across silk bedsheets wearing just a corset. But Scarlett is adamant she wasn’t trying to channel Monroe in the sexy photos. She explains, "We really weren’t trying to recreate any particular image. It was just their idea of the iconic blonde, and naturally people think that’s Marilyn Monroe. "Having said that, I love Marilyn. I think she was incredibly beautiful and a very underrated actress. I am a curvy woman who is blonde, and perhaps we are both comfortable in our femininity, but I think that is as far as the comparison goes." Source: www.theinsider.com
"Beauty No. 2 premiered at the Cinematheque on July 17th and her onscreen appearance was compared to Marilyn Monroe's. As a result of her popularity, she was getting a lot of advice from people to leave Andy and become a proper star. One of the people advising Edie was Bobby Neuwirth who has been described as "Bob Dylan's right-hand man". Source: www.warholstars.org
"Edie's presence was magnetic, remembers John Cale, co-founder of The Velvet Underground who had a six-week affair with her. "Although desperate and on her last legs with Andy, she still possessed all the elemental magic, frayed beauty and presence of Marilyn Monroe." Source: www.independent.co.uk
"There seemed to be this almost supernatural glow to her that's hard to describe," wrote playwright Robert Heide. "Literally there was an aura emanating from her, a white or blue aura. It's as if Edie was illuminated from within. Her skin was translucent — Marilyn Monroe had that quality."In early 1965, Edie, who had just dropped out of art school, met pop artist Warhol at a party. "His x-ray spex saw through to her core and recognized there was a quark of great charm and spin," writes Dalton. "As a collector of damaged and luminous souls, he wanted to capture this rare creature on film.""She was just enchanting, and we were all in love with her," said journalist Danny Fields. "But you knew she was such damaged goods by the time we found her." Both Sienna Miller and Kate Moss have been responsible for bringing back the Sedgwick style recently — tights, boots, minidresses and chunky jewelry.
"All those girls are Edie prototypes," Dalton said. "The fascinating, doomed temptress that you can't resist".
"In the pantheon of American mythology, Sedgwick was one of the Tragic Muses, those women who did not so much make things happen as stand still and allow things to happen to them. Zelda Fitzgerald was one, Marilyn Monroe another.Edie Sedgwick as Susan in "Ciao! Manhattan". Natalie Portman photographed as the Factory's star.
"Ciao! Manhattan" is ultimately a testament to the odd, elastic nature of the '60s. The juxtaposition of Ciao!'s images illustrates more than the black-and-white/color, East Coast/West Coast dichotomies of its surface. It also shows just how fleeting and disposable were youth and glamour and La Dolce Vita in an age that supposedly prized those elements the most. That's what Warhol meant when he tossed off his greatly misinterpreted saw about everyone being famous for 15 minutes -- not simply that all of us will experience fame, but that the nature of fame is to use people up and spit them out in short, perfunctory order. In the end, Edie understood this and left us this assortment of before-and-after pictures as her epitaph". Source: www.popmatters.com
