Smells Like Alternative

So apparently Courtney Love is now a casting director after stating her decision for the actors to play herself and Kurt Cobain in the upcoming flick about the Nirvana frontman.

Love stated that she wants Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, The Notebook) to portray Kurt and Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Ghost World) to play herself.

Ok, Gosling is actually a good idea, but Scarlett Johansson playing Courtney Love? I guess she really is out of her mind or still on some sort of drug. Like most of Love’s comments you ignore it by telling yourself that 99% of what she says is absolute garbage.

Love, unfortunately, is also executive producer for the film based on the Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven written by Charles Cross (which is a real good read, I defiantly recommend it to everyone). Hopefully she won’t screw this movie up, like she did with pretty much everything that was Cobain related; and it’s about Cobain not Love, who seriously cares about her anyway?
