Kurt Cobain Bio Pic

[chaseter]

I really don't care about Cobain and I think he is one of the most over rated dead musicians of our time.

 

[블라스]

Damn, lots of work to do

If that's ur opinion, fine, that's one of those comments you should keep to yourself. The guy is dead, no need for you to say he sucks ass. Just because his music may not have impacted you doesn't give you the right to ridicule it.

Yeah, that is my opinion. And I don't see why I should keep it to myself.
I know he's dead, but I actually felt like this from way before that.
I'm ridiculing the music? By saying it sucks ass?

Congrats, thats one of the most stupid comments I've read in quite a while... and on the hype, thats quite an accomplishment.

Perhaps you should visit oh, let's say....any of the boards in here. I seriously don't see why stating an opinion is considered "stupid"....oh yeah, it's because you probably like Nirvana and not liking them = stupid. Gotcha.

The AMAZING Dave Grohl? You must be high as a kite.

Nope, I don't take drugs.

Ah yes, where would music be without the two-chord melodies, off-key singing and simplistic drumming of the brilliant Dave Grohl?

But (save the drumming comment, which is wrong btw, as Dave is quite an accomplished drummer), you just described Kurt Cobain's music
Dave can play a live concert without sounding like the audio equivalent of a car crash during rush hour, something I can't say about Kurt Cobain and pretty much any of his live performances.

Nirvana changed music forever? Hahaha give me a break. Nirvana were easily the worst of the so called Seattle grunge movement bands. I mean, you had Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Mudhoney...

I have yet to hear Dave sing anything that is impressive. When I've heard him live, he was average at best. As for his drumming, he's far from the genius some devotees seem to think he is. Granted, Cobain wasn't the best singer or guitar player either, but he was able to connect with people through his music in ways that Grohl only wishes he could. And while I would certainly agree that other early alternative bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and STP were more talented, I also won't deny that Nirvana has been very influential on music.

**** Cobain, he doesnt deserve a bio pic.

I'm not a fan or really looking forward to this film, but the negative opinions and comments about Nirvana have no real place in this thread. It's rude and all it does is make the person bringing it up look pretty dick-sh.

 

[That-Guy]

Yeah, seriously. If you hate Cobain and Nirvana, fine. Don't go see the movie. Simple as that.

 

[Cinemaman]

I love most of their songs and I always admired Nirvana as athe ultimate music band of the first half of 90s, but unfortunately, the actor who would be a perfect Cobain is dead.

As for the director's seat, someone here suggested Richard Linklater, and I would like to see what he could do with such rich material.

 

[Drizzle]

Damn, lots of work to do

LOL at the sad face. You brought it on yourself. Did you honestly think you could make a comment like that without getting **** for it?

 

[Sawyer]

**** Cobain, he doesnt deserve a bio pic.

Watch it, noobie...

 

[Sawyer]

By that same logic I shouldn't be able to say anything bad about Hitler. Just because someone is dead doesn't mean a person can't like or dislike what they've done. You like Nirvana and that's cool, I personally think they're kind of crap and wouldn't be as popular today if Kurt had not killed himself. As you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion and they are also entitled to state that opinion.

Okay lets see here...

Hitler: Perpetrated the deaths of countless innocent people and killed himself
Kurt Cobain: Wrote/sang a few songs and killed himself

I guess those are kind of the same... yea--NO! You dont have to like what they've done, but, while saying Hitler sucks balls is appropriate, saying the same thing about Cobain is a bit harsh.

Really, Kurt had a planned album with the lead singer from R.E.M. that they were ready to start work on. And many collaborations down the road not to mention we didn't get to hear him for more than a couple albums.


How would he not be as popular? He was more popular then. Nirvana's music got us out of the 80's hair band mindless crap. And thank f***ing God for that! The reason his music is still played now is because it has inspired modern bands and they had a timeless sound.


Whether you like the guy or not you are way wrong that he is more popular because he died. Imagine the next album's sales, the collab albums, the tours...he'd have a bigger name.

 

[블라스]

Heh I got "pwned"? Okaaaay...
But whatever, I don't want to be accused of "not saying I'm looking fwd to this movie by stating my opinion" (you know, what you people call "trolling"), so I'll stop.

Edit: As to respect the topic creator, I won't make new posts, but...

"yes...if Kurt Cobain can 'suck it' (especially if he's dead) then you most definitely can get pwned."

Heh you sure showed me! I must love Nirvana, after that dead serious and super witty come back!
Man, you guys can be hilarious sometimes, seriously.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Kurt Cobain can suck it.
Nirvana sucks ass.
Only good thing to come out of it was the amazing Dave Grohl.

His music is as bad as Nickelback's. Nothing but catchy crap that sounds like the same song over and over. The only thing cool about Dave is that he is funny and was in Nirvana. I'm surprised anyone still listens to the Foo Fighters at all.


As for what others have said about Kurt's performance, read something about him and you would know that there was enough heroin in his system to make a bear tweek out so maybe he would have been rough on stage.

As for Kurt's respect, Thom and Johnnie from Radiohead have openly stated that if it weren't for him they probably wouldn't have pushed themselves to make it as well as they did with not doing mainstream style music.

Oren Moverman Takes Over Universal's Kurt Cobain Biopic

Oren Moverman only just made his debut as a director last fall, but when your debut is something as elegant and tight as The Messenger, the offers inevitably start pouring in. Fresh off a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination (shared with co-writer Alessandro Camon), Moverman has finally picked his next project, and will be taking over Universal's planned Kurt Cobain biopic.

The movie has been in development at the studio for years, according to THR, with plans to base the film on Charles R. Cross's 2001 Cobain biography Heavier than Heaven. Universal also purchased the life rights for both Cobain and his widow, Courtney Love.

Moverman will be working off whatever screenwriter David Benioff put together while he was on the project, though I wouldn't be surprised to see him take it in a completely different direction. THR doesn't mention when the project will get going, though given that Moverman doesn't have anything else actively lined up, he might even be casting by the end of the year. It's been 16 years since Cobain committed suicide; now sounds about right for reminding a whole new generation of his legacy.

 

[Bad Superman]

This project has been on the planning stages for a very long time. I doubt it will get done.

 

[redhawk23]

i just wonder how the film would portray him. theres all claims of him never wanting the spotlight and such, but at the same time he totally orchestrated a myth of himself. He fronted a very popular band, but also was supposedly very hard to work with at times (grohl has pretty much described almost bipolar behavior). He is considered by many to be very influential, but also killedhimself leaving his daughter to be raised by courtney love (not the most noble legacy).

number of ways it can go. should be interesting

 

[Darkness Falls]

Kurt Cobain can suck it. Nirvana sucks ass..

 

[DarkReflections]

This project has been on the planning stages for a very long time. I doubt it will get done.

Lets hope that doesn't happen.

 

[weezerspider]

It will be the Chinese Democracy of movies. By the time it does get made, no one will realize it or care. Sorry for bringin it up Axl lol

 

[I'm Old Greg]

Kurt Cobain was the last real anti Rockstar like Jim Morrison was about the music and the feeling not all the bullcrap that people usually play music for.
whoever says otherwise must listen to pretty goddamn awful music

i dedicate this to the haters.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Nirivana was one of the few bands of the last 30 years with more heart and substance than style. Cobain was a tortured genius and is sorely missed. Since his passing music has reverted back to trivial nonsense.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Ah yes, where would music be without the two-chord melodies, off-key singing and simplistic drumming of the brilliant Dave Grohl?

Yet it was far more memorable and soulful than anything popular music has to offer today.
