xp I don't think he's directed a whole series before, but it would be amazing if he changed his mind and did that for White City...I mean, he and DiCaprio have openly discussed how hard it is to get big budget prestige films made, but the thing is, those projects haven't gone away, they've just moved to streaming and cable, albeit in multi-episode form. I'm sure there may be reasons why he doesn't want to - other feature directors have said that doing a series, even a limited series, is far more exhausting than a film, and Scorsese is 79 now.

Cornell 77, the beauty and the power of Garcia's solo on Morning Dew, many people prefer say the Europe 72 version. But for me it has never been equaled. pic.twitter.com/YIyPET3gwr— not the guy (@notnotnuanced) November 18, 2021

The scriptwriters, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, also wrote Ed Wood and My Name is Dolemite, so this gives me some hope, should it ever happen. The weird, mannered, almost gothic comedy in things like Wolf of Wall Street is the most interesting aspect of Scorsese's late style, imho, and god knows there's a comedy to be made out of the Dead story. So many great supporting parts to be cast - Kesey, Cassidy, Sam Cutler, Mountain Girl, Donna and Keith, Mickey Hart's father, Bill Graham etc etc.

This could be good if it was Hill and his crew (and Scorsese!) doing a stoner comedy about a fictionalized Garcia.
Actually, in all seriousness, this would be good if it was just about the Dead and the Hells Angels in the months and days leading to Altamont, ending right before it goes down.
FADE TO BLACK
TEXT: "In the end, the Grateful Dead never played Altamont, citing the threat of violence. The night ended as scheduled, with a performance by the Rolling Stones, during which fan Meredith Hunter was stabbed and killed by a member of the Hells Angels.
In 1987, the Grateful Dead released "Touch of Grey." It peaked at number 9."
"Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones begins to play as credits roll.

I actually think a movie about Jerry between, say, '82 and '85 could be interesting.

Yeah, I didn’t say it would be an uplifting movie, but it’s as a darker counterpoint to the hippie ideal I think there’s a story to tell and it could still have a more positive twist at the end, depending on where you cut it off. I just think the vivid imagery of the freebasing bust in Golden Gate Park would be striking.

Based on the LST doc, I think an easy film to make would be towards the end around 93-95 when he’s ruining all his relationships. Whirlwind of crappy Jerry behavior in 94 alone!

I'd rather watch a stoner comedy starring someone as a hapless assistant to Garcia tasked with getting him ice cream and heroin. Sort of a hippie "After Hours." Hill could still be Garcia, if they really wanted, but don't make the movie about Garcia.

Hill could still be Garcia, if they really wanted, but don't make the movie about Garcia. Yeah, or I too was thinking about POV---others to consider might be Mountain Girl, and/or another wife, gf, other female? Was always most interested in how the women and girls of The Sopranos cope w dinosaur male madness all around them-.But starting to have doubts about "stoner comedy" as main frame---Pete Davidson is voicing The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, who smoke a joint in 1969, wake up in 2021. First of all: bad timing X of all: bad timing. Pot is legal-decriminalized, to various degrees, in so many states now, and----so what, even as escapism (suppose they will visit a store w incredible edibles etc)

Although I say that as someone who came back to and gave up on *modern* pot a long tyme ago (it's too strong, dagnabbit)

My 4-yr-old commandeered my headphones for a while y'day, while I was listening to a Dead set... when she finally handed them back, after a few tracks ("I'm done"), I checked and found she was around 4:30 into "Drums." (kind of impressed she gave 'em that much of a chance)

xp - That really was a great show and one of the bigger surprises from the St. Louis box (I mean, I knew the '72 and '73 shows were going to be hot). The last few months of '71 have always been a weak spot for me and I have a tough time getting super excited about them, but 12/10 is great. Helps that Keith is high in the mix and really on fire.
