OK: Albert Maysles and Fall Out Boy hanging out.
Tell us, what is glaringly wrong in the aforementioned sentence and above picture? Well, apparently the noted legendary documentarian (who directed the Stones infamous Altamont concert doc “Gimmie Shelter,” and is generally regarded as one of the greatest American cinéma vérité cameramen ever) is apparently following around the emo-rockers around on their tour bus for a new documentary.
Maysles is now 80 years old. Can you imagine him on the Fall Out Boy tour bus? Wonder what Ashlee thinks about the old guy who smells like a closet and canned soup. Apparently they’re all getting on like a house on fire. “The band is having a great time hearing all his war stories about the Stones, Grateful Dead, [Fidel] Castro,” said an insider. “They’re really getting along, and they really like each other.”
Maysles, with his now deceased brother David, made the kooky Beale sisters – relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – famous in the “Grey Gardens” films, recently acted as a cinematographer on Martin Scorsese’s upcoming “Shine A Light” Stones concert, shot a ton of films about the artwork of Christo and also did a documentary on the making of Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums.”
We can just picture Pete Wentz whipping out his dong and going, “Al, film this! Woooo!” [New York Post]
