Was anyone else impressed with Christensen's performance as Bob Dylan? I didn't realize Dylan's hatred towards Andy Warhol. Christensen nailed it IMO.

Here's the the movie that he played Dylan in LINK

Awesome very underrated movie, especially if you're interested in the 1960's drug scene.

it is neither awesome nor underrated. Its terrible. Miller and Christensen are both awful.

Of course it's an opinion. However, the movie was lame. And I'm very much invested (and interested) in the pop culture of that era. And Edie Sedgwick was a sad character.

On the other hand, Sienna Miller is pretty hot.

Hayden Christensen was terrible as Bob Dylan! Are you kidding me? It was like he thought he was in a bad SNL skit.

Thought the movie was great, he was in another good movie with peter sarsgard called shattered glass. People tend to hate on teenage darth vader because he "ruined" star wars.

I haven't seen it, but now that you bring it up, it's at the top of my list. Dylan didn't altogether hate Warhol, he did some pictures for him once. Dylan had a fling w/ Edie, but then had a falling out or something as she wasn't into the "being noticed" scene as Edie Sedgewick was. If you saw "I'm Not There" she was portrayed sort of in a dim light.

Actually, I thought he was okay. Certainly not the main problem with the movie.

Me too. I loved it. After watching footage of the real Edie Sedgwick I also think Sienna Miller did great.

Oh, sorry. Didn't see this one.

Hayden Christensen is a pretty bad actor, though.

That he is. And I don't think he ruined the prequels. George Lucas took a nasty hangover dump on his own empire with casting Hayden and directing him to act robotic.

I can't think of anyone who wouldn't have been generally unlikeable given that moronic script.

Maybe Al Pacino.
