Well, disregardless of the obvious, some “mysteries” need further investigation apparently. According to The Journal, a British-based production company has been given some scratch to make the upcoming documentary “Who Killed Nancy?”
The doc will apparently “explore the events that led to the death of Nancy Spungen, girlfriend of the notorious Sex Pistols’ bassist, Sid Vicious.”
Ok, Captain Obvious, good luck with that.
You’ll remember that Johnny Rotten fucking haaaaaated Alex Cox’s dramatized “Sid & Nancy,” but whatever, what has the twat ever liked? Revisiting his comments however, is always amusing (and likely more engaging then this doc can ever hope to be).
“To me this movie is the lowest form of life. I honestly believe that it celebrates heroin addiction. It definitely glorifies it at the end when that stupid taxi drives off into the sky. That’s such nonsense. The squalid New York hotel scenes were fine, except they needed to be even more squalid. All of the scenes in London with the Pistols were nonsense. None bore any sense of reality
The chap who played Sid, Gary Oldman, I thought was quite good. But even he only played the stage persona as opposed to the real person. I don’t consider that Gary Oldman’s fault because he’s a bloody good actor. If only he had the opportunity to speak to someone who knew the man. I don’t think they ever had the intent to research properly in order to make a seriously accurate movie. It was all just for money, wasn’t it? To humiliate somebody’s life like that – and very successfully – was very annoying to me.”
