"Soaked In Bleach" - Doc. on Death of Kurt Cobain - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

hostedbyrobertstack · 08-22-2015, 07:55 PM

I wanted to post this, I'm sure most already know, but there was recently a documentary released called Soaked in Bleach, about the death of Kurt Cobain. It is based on the investigation of Tom Grant and reveals a lot more than the UM case did, such as recorded conversations, more evidence, etc... It is currently available on Amazon, I know it didn't have a wide release, obviously, as "Montage of Heck" was released around the same time to take the focus off of this film. Again, don't mean to post if everyone already knows about it, I just hadn't seen any threads on this. Thanks!

Awful, and I like Nirvana without loving them. Disgracefully assembled.

Totally going to watch it.

I was involved in a pretty spirited debate on here a few years back about Cobain's death... I'm interested to see what the documentary delves into.

I'm not sure what the "awful" means, as the documentary was actually very well made (aside from some criticisms on the re-enactments.) It deals with on-screen interviews with Tom Grant, Cyril Wecht, etc... It really goes into a lot of what was in the 2 books about the case, as well as many taped conversations that I had never heard before (I think some are available on the website.) Anyways, it's a great watch...essentially an hour and a half long UM segment to me, ha!

wow I will check it out. it seems like just yesterday cobain died has it really been almost 22 years? now I just read that Love instagramed a photo of him with a love message. I do watch the cobain UM segment a lot. Although I do believe he committed suicide it was an interesting segment and well put together. it seems like if someone did want to kill him they committed the perfect crime and took advantage of his dangerous drug addiction/life circumstances.

Cobain's death was one of those "I remember where I was when I heard the news" moments, which doesn't happen to me too often.

I was at an all night (school) basketball tournament and came home in the morning and heard it on the news. I was 10.

What's really interesting is that after all of these years, Courtney and her PR team are still pushing to get this out of the limelight and to have people forget. When this film was about to be released, surprise surprise, Courtney pushed "Montage of Heck" to the mainstream, which she was involved with. This took a lot of the focus off of this movie. They have also threatened repeated litigation against Tom Grant, as well as the movie theaters that were going to show Soaked in Bleach. The theaters showed it anyway, and no lawsuits were filed. Funny stuff!

Well I don;t think she is stupid enough to think anybody is ever going to forget him -but yeah you can understand her frustration at having to live in the shadow of a dead person, wanted to push an authorised project over an unauthorised one, constantly being accused of murder & the effect it has had & will have on their kid.

I never stop being amazed that people find the idea of a guy, who had a major drug habit, a long history of mental illness, and talked about suicide in nearly every interview he gave, committing suicide to be so inexplicable. I mean, really?

Haven't there been conspiracies about pretty much every music star that died young? Didn't Gloria Jones deliberately kill Marc Bolan? Elvis was bumped off for whatever reason? Brian Jones was murdered by his builder? Same thing with actors & actresses-even recently Phillip Seymour Hoffman was bumped off by Scientology according to some. Hero worship is a strange thing-much easier to blame others for their heroes mortal failings, because they can never be mortal in the eyes of some.

I think those people are in the extreme minority...the whole point of this case is that it is an obvious suicide so the small chance that he was murdered should be investigated

How could anything be proven 21 years after the fact? There are no eyewitnesses, no money trails showing a hitman was hired by love.
