Van Sant Kurt Cobain film

[tpfkabi]

in Film Comment it said that Gus Van Sant was looking at doing a film on Kurt Cobain, shot in the house where he killed himself.
anyone know any info on this?

:puppydogeyes:   Goodness, why do people sweat that hack so much? (Cobain, that is)

Im still deciding on whether this idea is creepy and interested or disrespectful.

[snaporaz]

i think it sounds alright.

it'll be good, as long as they dig up his corpse and string him up weekend at bernie's style.

I don't think I've ever disagreed more to any statement I've ever read.

Van Sant + Cobain = My, from this moment on, most anticipated movie in the works.

bigideas, wanna transcribe the article or comment?

I have little doubt that the movie has great potential (and Van Sant's pretty awesome, in my humble opinion), but I just don't see why people see this druggie mumble lyrics and play power chords, and think he's the Messiah.

But I suppose that's a conversation for another forum  

(yes, I realize Lennon [my avatar] was a druggie too     )

 he also knew how to write beautiful songs,  had an hypnotic,  inimitable voice,  was a Beatle ,  british,  and most importantly  , had a hot asian chick .  


felt weird writing that...

i love it when people have 'corpse' in their conversations. anyways, there's no way that they can shoot that movie in his house because it doesn't exist anymore. it was torn down after courtney and daughter moved out.

As a side note, Lennon rocks my hizzy (literally).

Maybe not, but his music and voice conveys pain like no other musician I've ever heard. And when you're a teenager I guess that's all you need, something to sing along to when you're way down. I can understand people who dismiss Nirvana as druggie mumbling, but they touched me.

Agree with you on Lennon, though

When Nirvana was still intact...They were my favorite band...they could do no wrong. I was truly upset when Cobain died...Then several years older and wiser I watch the Documentary Kurt & Courtney...and I was dumbounded!...

Everyone in that doc sounded fucking retarted. Literally no substance to anything they said. Bunch of heroin addicts posing as artists....then the Cobain interviews....I just realized that the man wasnt full of much else either...people thinking they are deeper than they truly are...I dont know about anyone else...But that documentary made me lose alot of respect for Nirvana...it made everyone in the band and surrounding the band in Seattle to be complete morons.

That kinda tainted my view of him.

Yeah, seriously, fuck...
