I've got three other posts in process right now, about various subjects, but this is something I really wanted to contribute my two cents on: Robert Pattison to play Kurt Cobain
Not that MY opinion matters, but I do not approve of this. At all.
I don't know who could play Kurt, really... But I am dying to point out the fact that Ronnie Vannucci was practically BORN to play Krist Novoselic. FOR REAL. He's, like, a CLONE. I am dying from his perfectness for the role. Compare photos of those two. Ronnie is absolutely perfect. (Even if he is Italian.)
But really. Robert Pattison? That sucks. I hope it fails miserably. Except it won't. And all the Twilight fans will be like, "Oh, well, Nirvana is SOOOOO awesome!!!!" and they won't even be sincere. This is seriously frustrating the life out of me, and I feel like such an elitist for it. YES! I am a raging elitist, okay?! I just really hate when people take something of value and turn it into profits.
Nirvana is by no means my favorite band, but I remember listening to Nevermind and so many times I'd think, "I'd love to learn to play that." "Oh, that sounds cool." "Dude, I have to learn guitar." It wasn't until then that I really got attached to the idea of actually being a musician. At that point, it was guitar. That fall, I saw Motion City Soundtrack + I Was Totally Destroying It, and I started leaning more towards keyboard, but it was with Nirvana that I first wanted to not only listen to music, but to play it as well. They're important to me, and something about the idea of 'Edward Cullen' portraying one of my heroes makes me slightly sick. Then again, maybe I'm just making a big deal about nothing...
I leave that to you to decide.

That's funny; I just heard about that project. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I mean who would'e have thought that Heath Ledger was going to define the Joker. On the other...
