FAQ

Is there a way of learning more about the case?
Did Courtney Love really offer El Duce $50 000 to kill Kurt Cobain?
Doesn't the test administred by the doctor prove that Kurt Cobain could have picked-up the shotgun, even if he had all that heroin in his body?

Yes Courtney is EVIL, 17 November 2002
Author: captainky from Canada

I watched this film on satellite the other day. I have to say it came at an opportune time after the release of the lost Nirvana track, "you know you're right" After watching this odd,low budget movie I came to 2 conclusions. 1) Courtney Love is truly an evil, vindictive woman. 2) Kurt isnt a hero, he was kind of a loser. The footage of Courtney especially at the ACLU awards is surreal. Her father's disgust and rage is also bizarre. Critics of this movie have correctly pointed out that there were plenty of people other than the fringe group shown in the film, that the filmaker could have talked to in order to get a balanced perspective. The babysitter, Kurt's female( who is lying about the photos) heroin buddy and the Stalkeratzi guys turn the proceedings into a farce. None of these people are believable. You get the impression that they were all actors. The final part of the film that disturbed me was the phone threat that Kurt made to the British writer. If that is true, it really desanctifies Kurt as the gentle saint he was characterized as. In fact you start to see kurt for what he really was, A screwed up, pathetic figure, racked by stomach pain, addicted to drugs and incapable of dealing with celebrity. Sad...very sad.
