Its been a long time since ive heard anything about this biopic proceeding.I have mixed feelings about this movie.The good:he made the “kids that dont fit in” feel like theyre not alone and that he made rock resurrect itself.The bad:Courtney Love(self explanatory) shes gonna have the say-so in how the story was (supposedly) told.I think Dave and Krist should tell his story cause they were with him far more than Love especially if the story is going to be told mainly about the music he created.With Love directing…expect a story like Titanic,a love story ending in a tragedy.I wonder if Love will mention El Duce near the end of this movie.

I like a lot of the Nirvana stuff, but I am not sure whether a movie about Cobain would be enjoyable as he was such a miserable S.O.B. I have seen Stone’s Movie about The Doors and I must say that if had ever spent more than five minutes in a room with a drunken Jim Morrison I would have punched him out. Like the music, don’t need to know everything about their personal lives. Make a movie about someone truly interesting instead like 19th century explorer Richard Burton or the not so PC author Louis Ferdinand Celine.

how about we skip this whole movie. cobain was a loser and the only good thing that came out of nirvana was dave grohl.

Joe Anderson looks eerily like the late Mr. Cobain.

I vote for him.

I also vote to keep the Widow Cobain sedated and out of the picture until she’s of Medicare age. Maybe by then she’ll have managed to purchase herself a clue.

I think River Phoenix would have been great for the part if he were still alive

Joe Anderson is a great choice, so is Ryan Gosling.

Joe Anderson would be perfect for the role.

Who should play Kurt? The guy who played A.J. on Sopranos. Sounds weird maybe but do a google search and really look, he is a dead ringer. Noticed it in the last season.

whats the point, the movies only going to be kurt painting fetuses under a bridge for 2 hours id rather listen to them crooked vultures while putting cigarettes out on my arm.

kurt should be played by tilda swinton, willem dafoe or peter sellers.

you must’ve skipped their version of hey jude at the end of the movie, lots of rasp. plus a high powered growl is something that can be practiced and learned, unlike good tone and pitch.

I AM SO STOKED FOR THIS!
The thing about Joe though is that he’s got a strong, but soft voice. kurt cobain sang ….well not soft. raspy. literally pushing his vocals to the limit to every song he sang. but this is a hard choice. who do you get to play one of the most respected and influential musicians in rock history? Oliver stone did a good with the doors, maybe he can direct?
