a film loosely based on the last days of Kurt Cobain's life...but not acutally about Cobain

im not sure how this will work but it sounds intruiging

it premiers at the cannes film festival and is directed by gus van zandt who directed good will hunting...the psycho remake and drug store cowboy among other films

the character is called "Blake" and is the Cobainalike

will it be any good?

I am looking forwards to it, be interesting to see what he has done with it, plus Asia Argento is in it

thanks for the response...i remember you are the only person who responded when i posted about "dead man's shoes"

could it be that me and you are the only 2 people who try and seek out unusual and non mainstream films?

i hope not

and yes...asia argento...hoooweeee

Looks pretty interesting.jm

Looks interesting. I would rather it be about Cobain though.

that movie is wrong about kurt cobain!
it's barely about him at all. That stupid french dude doesn't know a thing about kurt cobain or rock music.

He didn't know anything about High School when he made "Elephant", either. Go figure.

It's not a full on film about Kurt Cobain... it's a fictionalised version of his last days.

No, I just wish everyone would leave Kurt alone.. if they had maybe he wouldnt have shot himself.....

just saw the film thought it was a masterpiece. I think they portrayed cobain just right . he went from a articulate genius to a mumbling suicidal piss ant on the verge of suicide. id give it 9/10 if they took out that homo sex scene god that was gross. but i guess they wanted to show how cobain wasnt homo phobic or whatever. i thought his suicide scene was done well, its not as sad as i thought it would be.

Wow.

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't even want to waste my time reviewing it, but I might take the time to recollect the film in a day or two.

Elephant? Don't you mean "The Columbine shooting"? Why didn't they just call it that?

That movie was an insult to those guys, too.

this movie is an insult to most people cine.

You've seen "Last Days" already? It was only in 31 theatres nationwide, and I got the DVD last night. It's not even out until Tuesday.

I watched it a few days ago, after about halfway through I got bored and went to bed, on account I had charity work today for the homeless, and was worn out.

The old lady gets access to early released DVDs from a lady she works with at the hospitol, and she just so happened to pick this one up.

Good morning kmc.

I absolutely adored Last Days, really enjoyed it, filmed beautifully. Fan of Gus Van Sant films, good end to a 'trilogy'. Will be buying the dvd to add to Elephant and Gerry. I really do enjoy his experimental films.

I honestly don't know how anyone could derive any enjoyment out of something so incredibly trite. Van Zant's a one trick pony, which means his "Death Trilogy" was something he adopted from fans, masking his laziness to do anything 1/2 way original since "Good Will Hunting", instead putting his own spin on things he's absolutely clueless on, and tossing in homages to Gregg Araki with pointless "surprise" scenes of homosexuality.

I rarely get "angry" with films, but this one was so worthless. Why make a movie about someone when you're unfamiliar with the subject, and when said subject was totally empty? He could have made a film about a balled up piece of paper being tossed into a waste basket time after time, having never made it into the basket, and it would have had the same effect emotionally.

Tossing in the suicide scene at the end was sporatic and very empty. Like a "Hey, this was a movie about Kurt Cobain afterall, you guys!" kind of proclamation. Horribly flawed, IMO. I don't think I could bring myself to write a review about the movie, because I'd literally become angry.

I think what Van Zant did, aside from prove himself to be the most self-indulgent, hypocritical, pretentious hack in indie cinema was rape and brutalize whatever legacy Cobain MAY have had, by sharing his "speculation", which doesn't mean much to anyone anyway, given his lack of familiarity with the subject.

you'd be literally, literally angry.

Hated this movie it was nothing but boring pretentious crap..it was like watching paint dry

Looks interesting. I'll check it out, only because I loved Drugstore Cowboy.

I think we will pass. Waste of money.

I think Pitt's character killed himself because he was bored too.

A couple of question's.
1) What the hell did the Yellow Page salesman and the Church Dudes have to with anything?
2) Did I miss something in that forest shot?
3) Boys 2 Men video?

I have no idea what that salesman and the church guys were about.. other then to add dialogue to this very dull and boring movie.To me the boys 2 men video was the only entertaining thing about he whole movie ..well what i saw of it..couldn't watch it all the way through ..I think they just showed him watching that music video to let the audience know the time the movie was set in

I guess, but did we really need to see the whole video.

I heard it has little to no dialogue, therefore I won't be seeing it. Unless I pass it by on HBO.

Oh yeah, nothing aside from some guys singing the same song twice, about a song, yellow pages, religion with the mormons, a jet heater, and some girl (from sonic youth) ask Blake to go away from house.
Thats it.
Thats all the dialouge there is in the movie. Oppps, i forgot about the story of a magicean

I'll be renting this soon. My review will be up in The Vomitorium as soon as I see it.

wow thats brave of you..if you've got around over an hour and a half of your life to burn go for it .. seeing as your going to pay money to rent it.. I hope you make it all the way through...
