Leaving aside the fact that there already is a perfectly good Kurt Cobain movie – that would be Gus Van Sant‘s spooky, beautiful Last Days, which didn’t refer to the Nirvana singer by name but was totally all about him – the ’90s are in right now, so that means it’s time for Hollywood to churn out an unnecessary biopic.
“[The] boys are so pretty, so cute,” she told an interviewer. “I won’t name names because I don’t want to jinx it for anyone but these are 25-year-olds who are blond, gorgeous and the new Brad Pitts. There’s a ton of those. Some are really good actors, not just pretty faces. I don’t want to be the person who makes that decision. Let’s leave that to the agents; I have great agents now. But I will have a say in it.”
Now, let’s not throw too much shade Courtney’s way – Live Through This is a fucking kickass album, and rumours of her involvement in Kurt’s death are at best mean-spirited and at worst total crazypants – but the lady is a loose cannon, and letting her anywhere near something like this just seems like a recipe for trouble.
