I think what’s brilliant about their humor is that it is both incredibly silly and super clever, it goes to both extremes. Always irreverent and unique which is why they are so endearing. Always eager to put on terrible wigs and have Yauch give interviews as Nathaniel Hornblower, his fictional Swiss uncle who’s credited as the director of their music videos. Their true brilliance was that they were always committed to doing their own thing and their music is unlike anything else as a result.
If you werent alive when Kurt was alive let alone when he died you dont have 0 oz of critical thinking or any educated know how to even speak on the matter. There was 8 ppl in the home most being addicts when Kurt "offd himself" he was in the process of getting divorced and had asked to remove her from his will he also had a prenup. But at the fact hime dying she got everything went to her ovee night. Their child nanny was an addict. Courney paid off ppl after Kurts death bought some of them a home, paid for their rehab. I find it hilarious a YT journalist critizing an actual journalist with with a huge track record. Keep trying to be even half the legacy as this guy by sitting on your actual ass critizing how others have actually gotten off their ass to create something. Edit: noticed this creator is a failed journalist hasnt posted in 7yrs well look at that 😂😂
I totally agree w you, i was thinking how can you trust what these leople say. Most of them are are drugged up. The people he interviewed i couldnt believe did. What a shit show lol i just watched it. Then came across your video with my same thoughts
I remember that Biggie & Tupac movie being so boring but I was only 14 and didn’t know better so I slogged thru the whole thing. Not only that, but Nick ended up apologizing to Suge Knight years later about the film blaming him, so it was all a waste of time anyway
“Trying to sell you something” - while showing Hank Harrison, Courtney’s dad, whose book he’s “trying” to sell clearly outs some of the real, likely killers and addresses Addamson (Culkin’s sister) where no one else does. The maker of this “critique” is a repulsively holier-than-thou wussy who isn’t even trying to address the murder thesis.
I actually like Nick Broomfield. Aileen’s was awesome. He’s just very real. He may be bland but that’s also what I like about him, he’s not all like WHOAAAA LOOK AT ME. he lets the characters shine themselves. He just missed the mark with this one I think.
Her "privacy" can eat a d**k. She's shady, her aspirations were shady, her "friends" are shady, the "scene" was shady, the timeline is shady, the funeral was shady, and her behaviour both before and post-Kurt's death was/is shady. All the physical evidence points to Cuntney being a ruthless, conniving, disingenuous diva, whom would have used any man to further her ambitions. "Become friends with Michael Stipe"?? How juvenile a thing, to even CONSIDER as a means to musical success. I had a contract from Phoenix Records for a "Spring Break Tour" at Lake Havasu in front of me at 16, and I was just a slightly above average guitarist, whom had an elite drummer as my best friend. Of ALL the schemes we pulled to make a name, "Becoming Friends with "X" Will Make Us Famous!", never crossed our minds. And these are the supposed "Seattle Elite", the "authentic rockers", the "90's avant guard".... What a f**king joke. Attention Wh*res + Drama Queens + alcohol/narcotics - Stir with Liberal Amounts of Media Attention. There. That's the synthesis of 90's Grunge. I've lived in Yelm and Tacoma, and made several passes through Aberdeen (It's a fishing town that despises it's connection to Kurt, and all citizens have agreed to pretend it's perpetually the 1960's. And it shows.) to see Kurt's childhood home (very sad), the tiny bridge where his first band "Anarchy" left some graffiti, and the (no longer existing) Medical Center, where Kurt would go sleep, in the waiting room, when his parents had their usual Friday Night Throwdown. There's no arguing that Kurt was clinically depressed, suffered from an anxiety *DISORDER*, and was horribly self-deprecating. Kurt felt many things, but the most frequent and inescapable was SHAME. How do I know what he felt? Because I've lived the same way, most of my life, 30 years of doctors, therapy, and medication, all because, to put it as simply as possible, my feelings are always dialed up to "11". While this makes you hypervigilant and even hyperactive for a time, eventually you're ground down to three feelings: sadness, anger, and perhaps most dangerous, indifference. There's a huuuuuge amount of guilt that comes with those diagnosis/ mental disease. You feel your "ill-made", that, "you are worthless" and ultimately, that "you are a burden to your loved ones, and things would be easier for them if I weren't around". America lashed out at Kurt, calling his death "an act of selfishness". I remember that douche-rag Rush Limbaugh talking sh*t I had to listen to, because of my Red State Parents (Yes, I'm glad the fat f**k is dead). Now that my mother has completely lost her short-term memory due to genetic mental illness and self-medicating, funny, he doesn't trear mental illness with quite the same cavalier attitude. He's had to live with a wife and son whom suffer from genetic mental illness, and now he understands why we sought self-medication, instead of writing his family off as "a couple dopeheads". Addiction is at a point now, I would be surprised to meet someone whom hasn't been effected by it, one way or another. We now know "addiction" is a BROAD term, that applies to food as much as drugs. If Kurt had died in the 2010's or 2020's, someone may have actually investigated his death correctly, by-the-book, instead of the super-easy "Depressed Rock Star Suic*de". I think about suic*de almost every day. That said, if I turn up dead tomorrow, I truly hope the police don't just take a few photos and say "case closed!" I'm sorry nobody took your stomach pain seriously, Kurt. I too live with it, vomiting bile randomly, with no medical explanation, even after both an upper and lower G.I. It's part of the mental illness, Brother. The anxiety disorder; I wish someone could've explained this to you, and got you on some anti-nausea meds like Zofram. I'm sorry for all the people in your life who used you, instead of protecting you. And just to lighten the mood, you had some great riffs, Brother, but truth is we BOTH could've used some, eh, professional guitar lessons, lol. Naw, I get it; there's a certain pride in being self-taught. I'm sure pride wasn't something you had in spades. Did all the compliments seem disingenuous to you, too?? I imagine so. How many trashed barflys told you "How awesome you were"? Slurring at you, "GrEaT sET MaAAaAN!!"?? Girls going to bed with you, "OMG, I went home with Kurt last night, he's SO sensitive!!"?? Yeah, that sh*t gets old, quick. Playing the same songs everynight gets monotonous. I think you knew fame was hollow, before you even fully got there. If you did choose to end things, I understand, and I forgive you, as I hope someone someday will forgive me. If your life was taken from you, at a time when you were most vulnerable and defenseless, may those responsible be cursed to live forever, and never know peaceful slumber nor eternal rest.
The documentary, despite not having the financing and being boycotted, seems excellent to me since it was the first to show the corners from where all that music, friends and those close to Kurt were born. He also planted the seed of doubt about an alleged murder today that is not at all far-fetched. I remember seeing it in those years and the suicide cover was even stronger. Today I allow myself to doubt since it is known that there were much greater interests. the money won..
Sorry but heroin addicts with money dont commit suicide. He was either murdered or he overdosed. No one gets high then kills themselves. Ask anyone' who's been a heroin user full time. Now if he was in withdrawal and had no money and was homeless rock bottom then yes. But he had millions of dollars. He would never have ran out of money. The drugs would have killed him before suicide
He wasn't even as bad an addict as the friends they kept around them there were 8 addicts in his house when he "offs himself" killdt Courtney then even tho going try a divorce and Kurt previously wanted off his will over night gets his entire fortune
Kurt and Courtney was great for the time, This video just seems like a hit piece on Nick Broomfield , really very sad, and the guy that made this was either put up to it or he needs help.
This is one of few movies where I believed more in the conspiracy theory before I saw it rather than after. Its really ridiculous how unreliable all the conspiracy promoters are in this movie.
She killed Him and like Her ex mentioned She will pay. Too many malicious intentions to not notice the why's. I hope they reopen His case so that finally He gets justice. I'm starting to think there's black magic being done so that a dark cloud remains. Hopefully the truth will soon reveal itself.
Actually, one things that is extremely interesting about this documentary is that it shows El Duche speaking of CL offering him $50k to kill Kurt and it updates us a little ways in that he was found decapitated soon after their encounter. That right there makes it pretty damn interesting.
This video was what got me into Elliot Smith when i was in high school. Im 22 now, and im still really thankful for that. Hope you're doing well man, miss your stuff ✌️
To be fair - if I had lost my husband in such a terrible way and I found out a movie like this was being made I’d step in legally too. It would be like a slap in the face.
You missed the whole point of nick’s style. He includes the making on the documentary while making the documentary so it’s like ur part of the squad investigating
