So this past Tuesday was the 17th death anniversary of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, and for me, it kind of passed without much notice. My husband is a hardcore Nirvana fan and I am not (sometimes I wonder what I see in him at all – I’m totally kidding, he’s really great in bed), and we were talking yesterday about how fucking old we both felt knowing that Kurt Cobain was made to eat a gun almost two decades ago. Old, right? OLD.
Anyway, 30 Seconds to Mars’ Jared Leto (or if you remember Kurt Cobain’s ‘suicide,’ My So-Called Life‘s Jared Leto) did some kind of pseudo-audition tape for a Kurt Cobain biopic that he’s hoping will be made so he could star in it. This? Was the result. I actually thought it was pretty good.
What do you guys think of Leto as Cobain? I mean, I always thought Jared was a pretty OK actor, and really, who would do nineties-grunge better than Jordan Catalano (aside from Kurt Cobain, but guys? He’s dead). Love it? Hate it? Are you still crying about Cobain today?
that was good! I can’t think of anyone better for the part. Totally miss Kurt, I love rocking out when his songs come on the radio!
I think it’s impressive. Damn impressive if he learned how to play left-handed. I’m guessing the footage was flipped though; the camera seems to avoid any letterforms (like the end of guitar’s headstock).
Awesome!
I thought it was fantastic. And you’re right, if anyone is going to play Kurt Cobain it should be Jordan Catalano.
I think he was on the mark for sure. Who else do you guys think would be good fits for a cobain role?
h*cking awesome . . . I had to pull the car over the day Kurt Cobain died. Still find it so absolutely sad. I can’t imagine anyone else playing Kurt Cobain . . . Chloe Sevigny for Courtney Love?
no. just no.
it was good singing, but michael pitt already did “the last days” and i dont think they can do something differen.t i mean one kurt movie was enough to exemplified his life. if this happens i’ll feel like im watching a do over
