Jared Leto as Kurt Cobain

From Jared's blog:

I heard today was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now…

People need to stop being Kurt Cobain.
[info]shanniesaysyo 6th-Apr-2011 02:17 am (UTC)
wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are (kurt cobain said that)
[info]nullteiler 6th-Apr-2011 02:24 am (UTC)
its so true :)
[info]numbereleven 6th-Apr-2011 02:30 am (UTC)
Hmm. That's a nice quote, but I personally don't agree. I think the people you want to be are a part of who you are.

LOL
[info]fuk_q 6th-Apr-2011 02:44 am (UTC)
seriously.
[info]efface 6th-Apr-2011 02:07 am (UTC)
Oh, ok.
[info]aubrella 6th-Apr-2011 02:08 am (UTC)
Kurt Cobain is overrated.
[info]nullteiler 6th-Apr-2011 02:10 am (UTC)
Is that Chris Brown in your icon!?

If yes - shut the fuck up!
[info]egowars 6th-Apr-2011 02:13 am (UTC)
keep hating trick
it makes chris even more famous
[info]parisdiorchanel 6th-Apr-2011 02:13 am (UTC)
Not really.
[info]skeet_skeet 6th-Apr-2011 02:13 am (UTC)
I don't even worship Kurt/Nirvana but your icon is of Chris Brown, your opinion is irrelevant.
[info]egowars 6th-Apr-2011 02:14 am (UTC)
i agree.
love a few songs but that's about it.
[info]numbereleven 6th-Apr-2011 02:31 am (UTC)
I agree, but I spent most of my adolescence shunning Nirvana because of it, and looking back... missed out on a really great band.
[info]anesthetics 6th-Apr-2011 02:08 am (UTC)
I miss Kurt =(
[info]aurevoir_olivia 6th-Apr-2011 02:09 am (UTC)
okay, jordan catalano.

no, but really.
that was kind of odd.

SHES MY SHELTER FROM THE STORM
SHES A PLACE TO REST MY HEAD
LATE AT NIGHT SHE KEEPS ME SAFE AND WARM
I CALL HER RED

"it was obvious who that song was about.."
"yeah.....my car."
[info]phookie 6th-Apr-2011 02:54 am (UTC)
"yeah, it's about my car"
[info]bitchsaintshitt 6th-Apr-2011 02:10 am (UTC)
Well, if there were to ever be a feature film about Kurt...I honestly wouldn't mind Leto doing it.

With that being said... I still wouldn't want it.
[info]blacklicorice99 6th-Apr-2011 02:16 am (UTC)
thought this comment said failure film about Kurt b/c honestly that's all i see when they start this biopic talk nonsense
[info]bitchsaintshitt 6th-Apr-2011 03:05 am (UTC)
Don't get me wrong, but I feel the film would still do well because many people are always interested in seeing things about Kurt.

However, I'm always on the fence about a full-fledged, true to life, etc movie. Because at the same time I don't think fans will react well to it.

IDKIDK lolol
[info]druggybridge 6th-Apr-2011 02:56 am (UTC)
Joe Anderson HAS to play Kurt. I don't like Jared Leto that much, and hell, he played Mark Chapman in a movie, so it'd just be insulting!
[info]publicfrenemy 6th-Apr-2011 02:10 am (UTC)
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?????????
[info]extremisttt 6th-Apr-2011 02:11 am (UTC)
..he could do it.
maybe. I think he's a good actor anyway.
[info]efface 6th-Apr-2011 02:13 am (UTC)
The urine is just sloshing around. LOL
[info]beautifulmonstr 6th-Apr-2011 02:15 am (UTC)

hmmmm..... DP
[info]beautifulmonstr 6th-Apr-2011 02:12 am (UTC)
I was 11 when Kurt died. It was devastating at the time, but now I'm just like meh
[info]efface 6th-Apr-2011 02:14 am (UTC)
I was 11 also, and couldn't care less. My brother was pretty upset, though. Kurt was, and still is, one of the most influential people in his life. He actually got to meet Kurt's grandfather, tour the house Kurt grew up in, and hold some of his gold records.
[info]onesilkstocking 6th-Apr-2011 02:20 am (UTC)
aw that's really cool
[info]infinitycluster 6th-Apr-2011 02:16 am (UTC)
I was a senior in high school. It nearly killed the generation.
[info]invisible_cunt 6th-Apr-2011 02:19 am (UTC)
i was 6 so i had no idea who he was
but i began listening to nirvana when i was around 10. i was really into the offspring and blink 182 too aha
[info]shahoney 6th-Apr-2011 02:22 am (UTC)
I was 8 when he died. I didn't know about him until a year after he died when my older sister, who was your age (11), introduced me to Nirvana.
[info]theartistprince 6th-Apr-2011 02:26 am (UTC)
I was four, but I knew.

My mom and all her friends were massively into the alternative and rock scenes at the time. My first love was Eddie Vedder. They were a wreck after Kurt Cobain died.

My uncle's friend was one of the kids that killed themselves after Kurt Cobain killed himself as well, which made it hard as well.
[info]yousaidlog 6th-Apr-2011 02:41 am (UTC)
I had just turned 3. I don't remember his actual death, but Nirvana is my first musical memory : )
[info]sessile29 6th-Apr-2011 02:59 am (UTC)
I was 13 when my friends told me and I was like, "Who?" But then I eventually discovered Nirvana became, like, a hardcore fan. (Nirvana lyrics all over my high school notebooks, KURDT KOBAIN, the works.) But yeah, if I never hear Nirvana again, it'll be too soon. I care more about Courtney now than I do Kurt. (I honestly wonder if I would've been so gung-ho about them had he not died.)

[info]wakiebakie 6th-Apr-2011 05:18 am (UTC)
I was the same age and it was devastating for me too
[info]jamie_frazzled 6th-Apr-2011 12:21 pm (UTC)
I wasn't really old enough to grasp the situation, but I still remember my Mum hunched over the newspaper that morning (his face was the front cover), and she couldn't stop crying.
[info]tink_1326 6th-Apr-2011 09:53 pm (UTC)
I remember exactly where I was when I heard he died. Walking to 6th grade biology class.
[info]supernature_971 6th-Apr-2011 02:12 am (UTC)
I don't like Nirvana. There, I said it.
[info]rebeljean 6th-Apr-2011 02:12 am (UTC)
I'd like to hear more of his version of "Rape Me".
[info]bitchsaintshitt 6th-Apr-2011 02:13 am (UTC)
I agree, Rob.

[info]parisdiorchanel 6th-Apr-2011 02:12 am (UTC)
Unpopular opinion, but I like it. If they make a movie, he should play him.
[info]onesilkstocking 6th-Apr-2011 02:14 am (UTC)
yeah I agree
[info]kyoumei 6th-Apr-2011 02:15 am (UTC)
I agree
[info]infinitycluster 6th-Apr-2011 02:18 am (UTC)
good choice TBH
[info]_teardust 6th-Apr-2011 02:21 am (UTC)
I totally agree. Just that little video... basically perfect imo.

[info]artvandellay 6th-Apr-2011 02:56 am (UTC)
they kind of already did with michael pitt. i dont think they'll ever get an authorized biopic with courtney alive tbh
[info]commabut 6th-Apr-2011 05:00 am (UTC)
agreed
[info]shanniesaysyo 6th-Apr-2011 02:14 am (UTC)
i don't want to look
[info]lith_ie 6th-Apr-2011 02:15 am (UTC)
I just finished watching My So Called Life, loved it! Pretty sure Jared is drinking the blood of virgins because he still looks f l a w e s s
[info]theguernica 6th-Apr-2011 02:49 am (UTC)
Someone asked him why he looks so young on Twitter. His answer? He's undead. lool
[info]blaqkelectriqk 6th-Apr-2011 11:28 am (UTC)
lol lame.
He thinks he's so ~mysterious and funny and it's like, no.
[info]onesilkstocking 6th-Apr-2011 02:15 am (UTC)
I don't like Leto, but I think he's a good actor even though his band is laughable and I think he could play Kurt if they did a biopic.

semi-O/T but thanks to the book About a Boy, whenever I read "Kurt Cobain" I automatically think "Kirk O'Bane" lol
