if he plays this "straight" (aka in the vein of Jackie Brown) and not like his exploitation movies I bet it could be good

Didn't he only ever play it "straight" (aka in the vein of Jackie Brown) in, er, Jackie Brown?

I'm not so sure. Every movie he's done since Jackie Brown (besides maybe Death Proof) has been a heavily stylized/high concept genre exercise or period piece. The fact that this is the first movie he's made based on real events, and that it takes place in the relatively recent past suggest that he'll take a more realistic approach to the material. I don't know how you can do this with cartoon characters. I have a feeling it'll be closer to Pulp Fiction than Jackie Brown w/r/t all that, which is fine by me.

I watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time in years, some if it has aged really bad (his Madonna spiel seems particularly repugnant now) but it really did show up his later stuff as being so flabby, so labored in accomplishing relatively little.

"A Manson friend and memorabilia collector"--I hope his claim on the body was motivated by the former, not the latter.

I will be very surprised if this is any good.
"I believe this just might be my masterpiece" was a sadly prophetic final line of dialogue, cuz it's been all downhill from there.

Burt:"Does this character have a name?"D.A: "His name...is Charles Manson--aka Charlie, aka Jesus, aka the Devil."Deputy D.A.: "His partner's name is Tex Watson."Burt: "Those are great names!"
I was in a used book store on the weekend, and they had the Manson Life magazine on the wall. First physical copy I've ever laid eyes on. I'm real cheap when it comes to used records and books--I'd pay maybe $15 for that. It was priced at $50.

Our family subscribed to Life at that time, but I'm sure it was tossed eventually, like every other issue.
― nickn, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 20:03 (six years ago) link
you can get one for 20+ on ebay. i just checked.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 20:19 (six years ago) link
Thanks. For me, it'd actually end up costing more than the $50 after postage ($15) and exchange.

FWIW, I'm a small-time dealer of vintage advertising, specifically old magazine ads, and $50 for that mag seems a bit exorbitant. They probably pulled it out and marked it up after Charlie bit it.

Thanks for digging that up (so to speak)--will make a concerted effort to read the article.
The Jann Wenner bio talked about the Rolling Stone cover story, and how the counterculture's view of Manson changed between the murders and the tril. Not sure where the Life cover story falls on the timeline, but Rolling Stone was originally going to publish a piece that basically presented Manson as a victim of hippie profiling. Something changed in the interim--maybe the Life story fits in there--and by the time they went to press, they had joined everyone in seeing him for what he was.

On closer inspection, that magazine is a trip. In addition to the cover story, there's Albert Goldman on the posthumous fame of Lord Buckley, a Richard Schickel movie roundup with a funny still of Hoffman & Farrow in John And Mary, a shit-ton of xmas booze ads, and two pages of readers letters about My Lai, which I heartily recommend reading.
In related stuff, here is the issue with their initial coverage of the Tate murders.
