Hold Up!

🎬 I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! 🍿

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996)

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) movie poster

I Shot Andy Warhol is a 1996 independent film about the life of Valerie Solanas and her relationship with Andy Warhol. The movie marked the debut of Canadian director Mary Harron. The film stars Lili Taylor as Valerie, Jared Harris as Andy Warhol and Martha Plimpton as Valerie's friend Stevie. Stephen Dorff plays Warhol superstar Candy Darling. John Cale of the Velvet Underground wrote the film's score despite protests from former band member Lou Reed. Yo La Tengo plays an anonymous band that is somewhat reminiscent of the group. Initially intended as a BBC documentary, the screenplay was written by Mary Harron and Daniel Minahan.

Based on the true story of Valerie Solanas who was a 60s radical preaching hatred toward men in her "Scum" manifesto. She wrote a screenplay for a film that she wanted Andy Warhol to produce, but he continued to ignore her. So she shot him. This is Valerie's story.

***SPOILER ALERT***

solanas the butch
We Are The Night brought me to this movie; I had to know what Valerie Solanas was all about.
solanas amok
Aaaand the bitch was crazy. I'm certain that there is a lot of truth in her work, but that anger and hate inside of her was too much.
andy warhol the cool freak
Andy Warhol, you so freaky! Lili Taylor is great. See the actual Solanas acting down below, and you will see how close Lili got to the real thing.
