re: Motley Crue’s The Dirt

I enjoyed the movie. It wasn’t some serious, Oscar-quality film, but this fit the character of the band much more.

David Fincher was supposed to be the original director when it was a more sanitized and serious project at Paramount. Nikki Sixx said the squirting opening was a huge sticking point with Paramount and a big reason why they eventually went onto Netflix.

I thought the actors who portrayed Nikki Sixx and Mic Mars were good, especially Nikki Sixx. The actor is British but really got the vocal cadences down. MGK played Tommy Lee over the top, but that has also been his public persona so I get it. The weak link was the guy who played Vince Neil.

It was a fun movie to watch on a weekend night though.
