Courtney Love Eyes Johansson, Gosling for 'Heaven'

Why support a movie about a man she killed? BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE!

Why support a movie about a man she killed? BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE!

Kurt Cobain was a no talent slob who wrote crappy songs made a million dollars and couldn't handle it. "Look at me, I'm the pained rock star." He should have put the guitar back in it's case and stepped aside for someone who did want it. The guy was actually living in the streets when Nevermind came out. That whole Seattle thing sucked anyway. Last thing we need is a movie that's going to make Courtney money. Cobain knew his career was going to tank in a few years so he blew his head off to become an icon. And all the suckers out there bought it. All you teenage angst people back in the day who oh so hated corporate America grew up and are probably working for corporate America now. Sell outs! Get Oliver Stone to direct this masterpiece of s***

"KURT RUSSELL, the same guy who played bad-ass Stuntman Mike in 'Death Proof,' "

Wow, lmao!! I saw that movie for the first time about two weeks ago, and poor Kurt is anything BUT bad-ass in this movie. He totally wusses out at he end! Even my muscle car obsessed guy friends even hated this movie, it was damn awful.

I think it is deplorable that HOLE Courtney Love, who very well (like O.J. - if he/she didn't DO IT, he/she knows who DID!!!) may have had something to do with Kurts death (I mean more than just contributing to the overwhelming depression that drove him to such a desperate act as suicide) now gets to put on 'silver slippers' and sit in the Exec. Pro.'s chair on this biopic... True, it is to her credit that she hasn't tried to solve her (DRUG CAUSED) financial problems by cashing in and making LOTSA Kurt movies sooner, but she is still more than just a MEDIA wh*** [euphemism for prostitute]... Just my opinion, and you KNOW what they say about opinions... Like a certain unmentionable part of the anatomy, everybody has one, and everybody thinks that everyone else's STINKS but theirs!!!
Can I ramble off this box of soap now, PLEASE?!?!?

courtney love should play herself since she is still alive. she can't screw up playing herself just give her a couple of lines and a drink and say "action".

Courty love came from a privilaged background much to many peoples surprise. She does what she wants, like it or not.

I couldn't agree with you more. I remember the day he died. I was driving to a meeting and I heard it on the radio. I was wearing a pair of jeans and in the meeting I wrote,"I don't have a gun" on them. My bosses didn't understand why I was so devistated. I guess they didn't listen to music. I guess they didn't understand that Kobain had changed music as we knew it. I know this is a terrible thing to say, but I think she killed him. Not literally. She knew he was in trouble. She could have kept him in lock down. As his wife she could have legally had him committed. But she was too busy sucking on the marrow of his genius. She wanted fame in a bad way. Here's a little but of cinematic history for you, she had one line in "Sid and Nancy" at the very top of the movie. It was before all her facial reconstruction, but if you watch it, the camera passes her as she says her line. I know how hard it is to deal with a junkie, especially if you are one yourself. But she only became famous because of him. He was the talent. He was an artist who bared his soul at a high cost. He was a sensitive kid, he was ill a lot of the time with stomach issues and she didn't take care of him. She let go of him and we lost him. I harsh on her this way because she could have wrangled his parents, the band members and whomever she could to keep an eye on him 24/7. I'm sure he spoke of suicide. He wrote about it. Maybe he was too fragile for this world. She should have known that, instead of watching out for him, she plotting her own fame with that wretched band, "Hole." How did she miss what a gift he was to the music? How does one not treasure that? How did it all become about her? Her and her f--k you attitude were not nearly as important as her husband's artistry. They were only important to her because she is a hole, a dark, vampirish, hole. Apt name for what she called a band. I remember when she read his suicide note to a huge crowd holding candles outside her house, I guess. Again, it was about her. She could have gone to a magazine like, "Rolling Stone" and given it to them. But no, she had to have an audience, chock full of TV cameras, because his suicide was her ladder to fame. If she was at all talented, if she had something new to say, if she hadn't hooked up with the A crowd and watched the runway shows in Paris, I probably wouldn't have so much disdain for her. We lost Kurt, the authentic poet. We are left with her. The authentic poser. Who did she help? Who did she speak out to? He spoke to all of us. I was in my thirties when he died. I'm not a kid. He spoke to me. He opened his heart to strangers and he changed music. What has she changed? My only hope with whole movie thing, is that now, in her later years, she sees her culpability in his death and wants to cleanse herself of it. But that's just a hope. The reality is that it's not a film about him, it is a film about THEM. I wish she could for once understand how deeply he effected us all and get out of the way. But -- "Wishin ain't gettin."

They weren't cokeheads, they were heroin addicts.

As for "why these two idiots" should have a movie made about them, hmmm..... maybe because Nirvana, love them or hate them, changed the landscape of popular music in the early 90's, paving the way for bands ranging from Green Day to Korn & beyond to achieve mainstream success and provided a rock & roll alternative to other "heroin addicts" (& "cokeheads") like Guns N' Roses, Poison, etc. And they weren't just a quick flash in the pan like the Sex Pistols either.

If you're not interested, fine, but to say it's pointless is just ignorant. Have you accomplished anything of enough significance to warrant Hollywood wasting celluloid on YOUR life story?

i cant believe kurt and courtney are being compared to the modern day sid and nancy. kurt was and will always be regarded as a brilliant musician who no doubtably changed the course of rock n roll for the good. sid couldnt even play the fucking bass guitar when he joined the sex pistols. by the way, people who refer to kurt as just simply a drug addict are completely ignorant. for fuck sake, even john lennon was a junky at many points during his life. kurt was a brilliant songwriter. definetly one of the best ever. and by the way, i hope to god they dont go through with this movie. kurt would roll over in his grave. please leave it be.
