One of the survey questions asked if there were any movie critic websites that I regularly consult. Go ahead and thank me for my support.

I don’t need to look it up, I know the history. But the point I was making is that Christensen’s performance is not based on the person of Bob Dylan. The Christensen character is meant to be antipod to Pierce’s Andy Warhol. The movie is about the battle of personality between the two of them with Edie Sedgwick as the casualty of their war.
That might read as a little confusing but understand that an actor can play Bob Dylan without doing a Bob Dylan impression. One thing I like about Factory Girl is that is serves as the antidote to the literal minded biopics that are all the rage these day, like Walk The Line and Ray. I don’t find movies like that interesting because they’re just item by item inventories of the artist’s career.

I understand that Dylan is not happy with his portrayal in the film but I don’t know that agree that the film holds him responsible for Sedgwick’s fate.

Oh but of course he does.
He’s essentially playing Dylan, who had an affair with Eddie Sedwick during the 60s.
The movie portrays the rockstar/Dylan-character Christensen plays as being highly responsible for Eddie’s final death, a fact that Dylan even denied publicly. Look it up.

I love this fast teleport style… like nightcrawler :-)

Choosing good scripts and good parts. Hayden doesn’t seem to have any of that as far as I’m concerned.
And don’t throw FACTORY GIRL at me. Boring movie with an even more boring Hayden Christensen doing a bad Dylan-impression. Even Guy Pearce couldn’t save that film.

Any by the way: That JUMPER-flick (or at least the trailer), leaves me totally cold. Sam Jacksons presence is no indicator for quality whatsoever (XXX2 anyone?). He will turn up in anything. That CGI-jumping around gets tired the second time you see it and the leads seem totally unappealing to me.
On the other hand Doug Liman is a very talented director. He might turn this into something fun after all.
