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.

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

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.
― clemenza, Friday, 14 July 2017 12:09 (six years ago) link
The Purple Haves and Have-Nots.
― clemenza, Friday, 14 July 2017 12:10 (six years ago) link
I love White Rabbit. Hearing it in a TV show or movie almost always takes the scene down a couple points for me though.

Brilliant song that's been stripped bare. (Ditto "Somebody to Love.") There are 10 other Airplane songs just waiting there for anyone with a bit of imagination: "Mexico," "Blues from an Airplane," "Saturday Afternoon"...).

Is the documentary everyone is watching on YT the one made in 1972? Because that's the one I'm halfway through and wow.
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Friday, 14 July 2017 13:08 (six years ago) link
I thought it said 1973 on the YT I played, but it's the one with Vincent Bugliosi talking in a courthouse and lots of self-shot footage of the family at their various locations. Some footage of Fromme, Goode, and one other (Krenwinkel?) in a dark room, each holding a rifle or shotgun. Some looks like it was shot before the murders, and some after.
― nickn, Friday, 14 July 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link
Just checked, it does say 1972 on the first one I found (posted by SpainyB but I think I watched a different upload), but that's the one.
As for the Aquarius soundtrack, I feel the same way but I guess I'm better able to roll with that kind of easy reaching.

Starting to believe that a Tarantino movie about John Phillips (set against the Manson era) might actually work - holding off until the inevitable script leakage and tantrum.

I watched Valley of the Dolls the other day for the first time, it was p good... Sharon Tate had a very dated line that totally caught me off guard, talking to Neely O'Hara, complaining about her hairdresser: "Oh Neely, I wouldn't worry. You know how bitchy fags can be."

So anyway:

Sony Pictures has won the showdown for the right to finance and distribute Quentin Tarantino’s next movie, which has the working title #9.
The "working title" is encouraging, as it suggests that there is a small hope that he might not actually be doing this Manson thing, right?
