Now them's entertainment! But who plays Poneman and Pavitt? Jay and Silent Bob?

matt damon as kurt cobain would be the best casting choice ever

Only if he lives out the role completely.

You mean there's not one yet? I'm shocked. I thought one would have been made by 1995.

Well, there was that stupid Leonard Cohen Afternoon film I heard about, but that sounded like pure cheese -- two guys *on the road* to the tribute in Seattle along with a hooker. Sounds like the kind of plot dreamed up by a film exec in between snorting coke lines.

Jay and Silent Bob can be Pearl Jam.

Im not sure why Metalica should be in the film but I just had a vision of Silent Bob saying "Fire BAAD!"

"Nevermind Seattle - starring Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie" Jesus fucking hell - NO! I think Ethan Hawke would fancy his chances as Kurt with Drew Barrymore - if she wasn't already tight with Coutney.
What a fookin' nightmare.
Carnt wait.

Not as witty of an answer, but they might as well cast unknowns.

I think the film should be about Nirvana. Not as much so on Kurt and Courtney. But Kurt could be the centerpiece (seeing he was of the band). Matt Damon might be good, but I question his ability to play a mellowed out and depressed punk rock star who is scared of his own success. I would be more convinced of a Brad Pitt performance. He looks young enough for the part and I trust his acting skills a little more (he actually can act in some roles beyond those looks). Whoever you choose has to be imagined with dirty dishwater blond hair and a goatee. His complete face is somewhat hidden. Another crazy idea I had was Ben Stiller playing Dave Grohl. Any comments?

Even better then Matt, Leonardo Dicaprio if he could stop smirking.

Unless it's titled "Rape Me" I'll be staying the fuck away from this one.

billstevejim, Sunday, 1 August 2010 03:55 (thirteen years ago) link

uh, all the reports I can find of that "casting" are from Jan 2008.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 1 August 2010 04:11 (thirteen years ago) link

should be titled 'who's raping who' imho

ice cr?m, Sunday, 1 August 2010 04:17 (thirteen years ago) link

or maybe 'who's raping whom imho'
