Hi Vincent -
I never know how to feel about this comment. I hate to feel like a blind fanboy - but to label suicide as a cowardly act seems cold to me. I mean, to anyone outside of it, it sure seems that way. But I think if you hate yourself that much that you are going to erradicate yourself so violently, i think that you're mindset is pretty damaged. If you think yourself to be so terrible that you would try repeatedly to do that, you probably think you're doign the world and your loved ones a favor by getting rid of yourself, you know? I guess the whole thing leaves a sad taste in my mouth - mean here's a guy who sang about suicide, posed for pictures with a shotgun in his mouth, threatened suiced repeatedly throughout his career, and wore shirts saying ' i hate myself and i want to die'. Talk about begging for help - a week after he dies every frigging doctor on tv is goign oh yeah, an obvious case of manic depression - yet while he was alive no one really did shit. Anyway, just a thought.
I hope things are going well. I thought A Better Place was amazing. I actually tuned away when he goes to shoot himself at the end, have forgot to count the bullets completely! Really well done flick. Can't wait to see the next one. BTW, do you post for crew applications anywhere? I know the philadelphia film office has a hotline, and i didn't know if you used a similar one in jersey. Thanks,
tom
: Courtney may be an oppurtunistic skank, but she didn't kill Cobain- he was a depressed junkie who took his own life. A shameful waste of an immense talent, but that's what it was- a simple, cowardly act- suicide.
