Courtney Takes Aim at Kurt’s Biopic

By Mr. Atoz in Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain

courtneyCourtney Love, aka “the grunge version of Yoko Ono,” has found yet another way to endear herself to her hordes of fans. The largely talent-free trainwreck has signed on as an executive producer for a planned Kurt Cobain biographical film based on Charles Cross’ biography Heavier than Heaven. Courtney’s attorney Howard Weitzman is another executive producer, just to make sure this puppy is nailed down tight.

Not that Courtney has any reason to expect problems. The later portions of Cross’ book were widely viewed as a collaboration between Cross and Courtney, and one friend of Kurt’s described it as “the Courtney-sanctioned version of history.” Also, the book is being adapted for the screen by David Benioff, whose previous ventures into biographical screenwriting include the eagerly awaited X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So we’re unlikely to see a repeat of the problems that led Courtney to crush Nick Broomfield like a bug when he suggested that Courtney was a less than model wife in a less than storybook marriage. And, after all, a sanitized and highly favorable screen bio is all Courtney needs to clear up her image problems, isn’t that right?

Jesus fucking Christ.

For the record I don’t think she had anything to do with his death, but this is just incredibly tasteless.

Also for the record, I don’t think Courtney actually pulled the trigger or anything. I just couldn’t resist the double entendre in the title.

Courtney didn’t pull the trigger . . . but her accomplice probably did.

Geez, I feel like one of the Lone Gunmen today.

These underline ads are ridiculous. One of them just asked me if I wanted to buy an executive producer on eBay. (And worse, there was one for sale.)

If you see a Senator for sale on there, let me know. I could use one of those.

As for Kurt, I don’t think he needed any help doing what he did. The tortured artist blowing his brains out with a shotgun is a bit of a cliche at this point.

You COULD argue that she would have seen it coming if she wasn’t such a self-absorbed bitch / drug-addled slut / whatever, but that’s not what most people mean when they say these things, I don’t think. And really, I didn’t know them personally and neither did the people who say these things.

I do know Kurt’s music was full of pain and loneliness and alienation and all those happy things that make people put a gun in their mouth. I was not surprised when I heard. Sad, yes.

Sorry the ads are such a pain in the ass. They do make up for the costs of running this site.

I don’t mind the ads, although I wonder if they ever result in anyone buying anything. I suppose they must.
