Lindsay Lohan's exotic dance in I Know Who Killed Me (Rapidshare)

It has frequently been repeated that she played a stripper, but that's not precisely correct, since this is a three-minute dance number in which she remains dressed as she began, so I guess we should call her an "exotic dancer" instead. Or perhaps she is a Mormon stripper, and this is as close as they get to the wild side unless they sneak a decaffeinated coffee!

If you have been paying attention you know that this film is supposed to be a thriller. Given that, you should probably have some reservations about the sense of pacing of any director who interrupts the flow of a thriller with a three minute dance number in real time. Not only does that mean that the film doesn't advance for three minutes, but even the strip doesn't include its own normal forward progress, which would be actual clothing removal.

I would normally accuse the director of ruining the script, but given this script, Orson Fucking Welles couldn't have made a watchable movie. Imagine a grade-B torture porn version of a David Lynch film and you get the general idea. 6% at Rotten Tomatoes, and a perfect 0% from the top critics.

Weep for the career of poor Julia Ormond, who once co-starred with people like Brad Pitt and is now playing third-fiddle to the likes of Lohan.

The linked film clip is not especially good quality but, hey, it's three minutes of Lohan dancing in a skimpy bikini-like outfit, so ...
