[bomp] boomer tripe... and an alternative
I think the WORST biopic was the DOORS debacle....I
loved how "Jim" talked in song lyrics...sooooo bad.
Doors MOVIE was so bad that it inspired Ray Manzarek to write his excellent
book LIGHT MY FIRE, which is really a good read. I encourage all who like the
Doors w/o the pretense shuvved all over 'em go to Ray's book. It's a great
band story told by the backbone of the group.
Oliver Stone is pretty much disregarded by everyone but the major studio
dollar people. He brought on the first major defense of the Warren Report thanks
to his loose-with-the-facts JFK movie. In other words, his movie had the
opposite effect of what he'd hoped for with that. It pitched Garrison's hard work
in a bad way. THE DOORS (which I'm in, BTW, standing next to L.A. mod DJ
Riley Elliot behind the Go Go dancers in the Whisky a Go Go "The End" scene) also
screwed up big-time. It's a really buried cameo, BTW.
