Factory Girl

watching Factory Girl. i 'was' Edie for Halloween so i felt like watching it. not that i haven't seen it before, i love the film, i've just never been a fan of Warhol. he's completely overrated and a big bore to me. like, i know one *should* like him, it's pop cultures biggest no-no (besides not pretending to like all the old, 'cool' bands and icons no one gave a shit about until it was a rule to like'em, hipster-style. kinda like when you started smoking as a teen) not to praise him. but i can't find myself enjoying his character nor his art. Edie, however, intrigues me. i feel so bad for her. or now she's ashes, but when she was of flesh and blood. now what an asshole everyone was to her. all the 'men' (maggots) she surrounded herself with. yes Bob Dylan, i'm talking to you, amongst others. i'm surprised Manics haven't written a song about her. she seems like their type of gal, like Monroe and Traci Lords. 

Dylan, Lou Reed (Velvet Underground), Warhol and all the other men who fucked her up, well done!
anyways, she seemed so fragile and lonely. some things she sad i can/could relate to so much, or more or less.
'When you start at 20, you have a lot of nonsense to work out of your system.'
'It's not that I'm rebelling. It's that I'm just trying to find another way.'

'The very things I might have given in to, that demanded, that said, this is your life. I mean, this is your only way to survive, are the things I fought hardest to end. I can understand other people's situations in their own terms, but "they" still can't understand mine.'

'I act this way because that's the way I feel like acting. If people like it, fine. If they don't, that's their problem.'

whatever, whatnot.
I, obviously never knew Warhol, but this is my take on him too, with Edie's words.
'The way those sons-of-bitches took advantage of me. Warhol is a sadistic faggot.'

'I'm a little nervous about saying anything about the artist, because it kind of sticks him right between the eyes, but he deserves it. He really fucked up a great many people's, young people's lives.'
