For those who say over-rated .. it's rather like saying a rose is overrated.
Especially true for those who have only seen a very few of her films.
A legend does not became a legend by accident. She was a legend even before her untimely death.

“Meh”.
I realize she has a rather dedicated fan base, and has for decades but I’ve always thought she was a rather mediocre actress and honestly kinda bland physically. Not unattractive by any means, but I wouldn’t look twice.
But that’s just me...

I grew up watching her movies. Some people just have different opinions. It’s incredible that it’s difficult for you to wrap your brain around that concept.

I, for one (and I think Bat would agree), don’t mind that some people have different opinions. I’m fine with the fact that you have different opinions. I do find, however, that many people who do not like Marilyn Monroe or who call her “overrated” have never seen a Marilyn Monroe movie. I have personally spoken to people around my age who have called her “overrated” who then admit to only knowing her from the popular conception and the Warhol painting.

At least I can express opinions without posting personal insults and quoting an entire post (including images) You need to ? Knock on someone else's door... not interested.

But it’s not rude to be condescending and just assume that someone who is familiar with her work might not be a fan? She isn’t some unknown actress. People of all ages continue to see her movies, and if they dislike her it’s just valid as those who like her.

Of course it’s valid, when based on having seen her movies, as you have seen them. It’s an invalid opinion when you only know her from the popular [mis]conception—in the same way that it’s invalid to criticize Citizen Kane when you haven’t seen Citizen Kane (as someone I went to school with once did).

Yeah, it seems he did. The “oh but if you don’t like something it’s only because you haven’t seen x,y,z” thing does imply that. You’re experience doesn’t give you the right to assume that everyone who criticizes something you like is unfamiliar with it. I SAID I found her acting mediocre, so obviously I’ve seen enough of it to be able to have that opinion.

I really don’t think you’re getting what I’m saying, pennypacker. Your opinion is valid. Of course. I still don’t think he implied that. But you can ask him for clarification.

He could ask, but the snarky "It’s incredible that it’s difficult for you to wrap your brain around that concept. " was un-needed and uncalled for, especially when my post was not aimed at anyone in particular. My dance card for dealing with the manners deficient is filled right now and there is a long waiting list.
I like Marilyn Monroe and have admired her work forever. If others don't … their loss ! -30-
