Very odd film, based on the final days of Kurt Cobain only it's not Kurt Cobain, it's a guy named Blake. It's a Gus Van Sant movie which means lots of semi-pretentious shots of scenery and people doing nothing in particular, but it's got a strange haunting quality - watching Cobain (it might as well be him) drift aimlessly around his abandoned mansion in almost complete silence, punctuated only by his incoherent muttering, is pretty eerie.
It'll stay with you for a while, but it's frustrating as hell to watch. Worth it, though.

Or, you could "watch it at the cinema" *wink wink* like I did...
That should hold up in court.

Sounds a bit like Gerry from what I've read. Which I liked, so I may check it out...on DVD.
Gus Van Sant owes me about £10 for both times I rented one of his ponderous attempts at being artful, only to leave me bored and mildly annoyed at myself for bothering.
Baz Luhrman is a more interesting big gay arthouse director, and he doesn't linger on semi-naked pubescent boys so much.

Apparently his manager was heard to say, after their Reading appearance, "I didn't even know they had an hour's worth of music..." Sums him up really. They would have been at the Oasis gig I went to but Pete was too busy getting a hit on a train (not hit by a train, which would have been preferable).
But yeah, strange film.

Oh my god, Pete Doherty's ringing his babyshambles outfit to me, here.
It could be my last chance to see him before he dies next year.
Assuming he lives long enough to make the gig.
Meh, I don't know if I care. Mostly I don't, but he's the biggest name to play here since before last christmas.

"I was too young to weep for Cobain when he killed himself in ’94, and I’ll be too old to cry for Pete Doherty when he kicks the bucket next year"
Hehehe, very good :^)
