Type in "Manson Family documentary" and you'll get a longer version (1:20) of the same thing.

The longer version loads fine.

btw is there a consensus on the best book to read on the manson murders? i've somehow never read helter skelter -- assume that's a good place to start?
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Thursday, 13 July 2017 00:33 (six years ago) link
yeah Bobby Beausoleil/Jimmy Page are one degree of (Kenneth Anger) separation, wiser probably to steer clear of these guys

J.D.: If you want just the murders, probably Helter Skelter or Ed Sanders' The Family. If you want a wider view of Manson's whole life, the book I mentioned a couple of times earlier, Jeff Guinn's Manson, is excellent. (I read Ed Sanders' Sharon Tate book last year and thought it was just okay.)

LDR revealed in the one interview she did for Honeymoon that she actually had been approached to play Sharon Tate in a movie, but iirc she turned it down for being too "On the nose" or something.

I get the feeling a big part of this film will swing on a debate re: the merits of Tate in Don't Make Waves vs. The Valley of The Dolls.

I think Longworth's podcast series underlined how much of an LA story the Manson Murders are: the habitual criminal with dreams of a rich easy life as a rockstar who tries to break into the music biz, ultimately rejected by the inner circle & then takes his horrific acid-fuelled revenge ... his pathetic motivations are pretty effectively buried under the flash-bang of his rhetoric & the entourage & the legitimately shocking, horrible murders
There's totally a Tarantino movie here.
or imo it could work in the way the Summer of Sam worked. It doesn't have to be ~about~ Manson directly
but i am also a qt apologist & true crime fan so obv my bias is distorting my judgement

Just watched the 1:20 Manson on youtube, I had seen some of the 3-girls-with-guns footage before, but didn't know there was this much of the family in general. And damned if I'm not now watching the ABC 20/20 doc from March of this year (also 1:20). It's actually very watchable, not sensationalized as much as I feared (no John Stossel). Long segment on Sharon Tate, and some more recent interviews with some of the involved parties.

That is very ominous if true. And suddenly makes me think there'll be a spot in the film for JFK Joe Pesci.

I've heard of The Second Gunman, "Raoul" in Memphis, and Capricorn One, but Manson family not responsible for Sharon Tate's death a new one.

He never questioned whether or not the members carried the crime. Here's audio. (Starts around 12:30.) https://t.co/aGjXzLGu9v— Lindsey Romain (@lindseyromain) July 14, 2017

― jmm, Friday, 14 July 2017 03:47 (six years ago) link
His question is if Manson conspired to murder everyone except the victims at Cielo Dr. He's wondering if, in that one case, the family members committed the murders then informed Manson after the fact.
That is the dullest interpretation of these well-worn events I can imagine.
― sciatica, Friday, 14 July 2017 03:58 (six years ago) link
Well, he's just asking a question of the documentary director, not offering some fully worked-out interpretation. We don't know whether that's the basis of the movie.

I liked the Aquarius series on NBC (w/David Duchovny), which covered that scene and LA in general, but it looks like it's been cancelled.
― nickn, Tuesday, July 11, 2017 5:07 PM (three days ago)
this series is pretty good. It looks like they could wrap it up in one more season ... it would be sad if it got cancelled now, they hadn't gotten to the LaBiancas yet.
― sarahell, Friday, 14 July 2017 07:12 (six years ago) link
At least he's not making another Western. I sort of wish he'd make a film that didn't have a period setting. When was his last one set in the present day – Death Proof, if that counts?
― Alba, Friday, 14 July 2017 11:00 (six years ago) link
Ok, I started watching Aquarius after the mentions in this thread. I remember hearing about the Rob Zombie series not getting picked up over it, but never checked it out. About 4 minutes into the show, a familiar bass line appears...The White Rabbit! Before I take this any further, can I get a confirmation from anyone as to how many times exactly White Rabbit will be played over the duration of the series?
― how's life, Friday, 14 July 2017 11:57 (six years ago) link
That's funny. Even as a huge Jefferson Airplane fan, I've been saying for a while that all hippie-related movies have to ditch "White Rabbit," "Purple Have," and "For What It's Worth" forever, and start using things like the Mothers' "Trouble Every Day" instead.
