Quentin Tarantino's Manson murders movie

Would pay to see Tarantino's Dr. Wu movie.

my brother-in-law told me when i last saw him that he's editing a new movie starring dr. who as manson. directed by mary harron.

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.

you can get one for 20+ on ebay. i just checked.

Thanks. For me, it'd actually end up costing more than the $50 after postage ($15) and exchange.

Google Books To Rescue: Google Books To The Rescue!

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.

"trial"

Agreed, Manson's trial was a sham

It was a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham of a tril.

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.

Also, becasue I keep seeing this on Buzzr every few months, here's Jay Sebring on To Tell The Truth in 1963:

Only interested in the Tarantino movie if Polanski plays himself.

I have a really bad feeling about this

Let me know how you feel about the Tarantino Star Trek movie which apparently a go now.

I feel like that is not a good idea

Yes, that's the answer I would've guessed.

there's plenty of other shitty franchises that would deserve him taking the ax to, but that one's not among them imo

shit, p much *any* of the big franchises - Star Wars, Fast and Furious, Bond, Marvel, DC...

He really shoulda just directed a season of Justified.

Scotty, warp speed motherfucker.

Practically writes itself.

he'll have to invent some slur for Vulcan for every crewmember to casually utter

Uhura will kill a couple Kingons f'sure

but anyway he's a straight (maybe) white male, he has 5 years left where he's allowed to make films, at best

He's said he's only making two more (& Star Trek doesn't count), so might just squeeze under that wire

promises, promises

oh so all of a sudden the Star Trek doesn't count? boo

Crimson Tide and It's Pat aren't counted either

This will be extra missable!

Uma's daughter is interesting casting... "You almost killed my mom" not the dealbreaker it used to be.

Musso & Franks, i been dere

Tarantino is turning into old Robin Williams

Brad Pitt is 55, huh and wtf

well, he was a young actor doing guest shots on thirtysomething... 30 years ago

I mean I *know* he’s 55 but I also know Sean Connery was 58 when he filmed Last Crusade. I mean Brad is aging extremely well. Or photographing well.

old guys got old faster

i mean, when Spencer Tracy was Bruce Springsteen's age, he was dead.

is the title really going to be stylized as Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

Boo

I wanna see Lena Dunham

Added ellipses because even his titles have to be unnecessarily long.

this is coming out soon as well:

I thought for a second that all four of them were in the movie and those were set pictures, then I remembered the latter two were in a Starsky and Hutch movie.
