Maybe I’m completely off-base, but I think A Complete Unknown looks really good? Timothee Chalamet might even get an Oscar nom for playing Bob Dylan. I was sold on this as soon as Johnny Cash calls him “Big D.” [Hollywood Life]

Nope,, not seeing Dylan, I can only see Timothy Chalamet having a bad hair day
Bad? Do you have any idea how much gel it takes to make your hair look that mussed? 😉
I respect him, but I’m also a little fatigued on him.
I like him as an actor but he doesn’t have the charisma or mystery to pull off Dylan. He just doesn’t.
Emily in Paris is dumbly dumb. Get off my TV already!
As soon as it went from “having an Amazing adventure, creating the life and career of her dreams using/building skills she already had” to “Oh look! A boy a boy the boy the boy THE BOY!” will they won’t they nonsense, I stopped watching.
I want the clothes and glamour and friendships and career and lessons from her fabulous boss. F*ck that dude but stay focused, Emily!
Honestly, Timothee looks like a young Billie Joe Armstrong in the footer pic and he should play him next in a Green Day biopic.
But on topic, I’m excited to see this movie. I loved the documentaries Don’t Look Back and No Direction Home that focused on Dylan’s transition to electric and his relationship with Joan Baez so I’m looking forward to this.
Same!
(Also recommend bio, “Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina and Richard Farina.”) THAT would make a pretty great bio-pic.
I know he’s young but I always sort of wanted that worldly, avant-garde, humble artist image of his to be real. I just can’t unsee the Kylie Jenner of it all, the rumors he was a diva on this set, and the instinct he’s just another Hollywood type. This movie looks good and I’m sure I’ll see it. But do we have young, Gen Z, true artists making movies these days who are unapologetically breaking molds and burning down the institutions in 2024? I feel like this was definitely an archetype in the late 90s-early 00s and we just don’t see that kind of risk anymore or that kind of depth.
What actors from the 90s – 00s are you talking about? I’m very curious. Also, who he dates is not a reflection of how he feels about his craft or career. Sometimes people ask too much from celebrities, more in fact than they do from those that really matter, like their own friends and family.
Bob Dylan had lightning in a bottle during the 60s, as a poet and musician. He has the Nobel to show for it. But part of his magic has always been how inscrutable he and his art can be. I remember Jack Nicholson asking him “but what does it mean?” A biopic does the opposite, it ties his work and life to prosaic ground. I watched the trailer but I’ll keep listening to and watching the original Dylan, there’s so much whimsy and joy in the ineffable.
Perfectly said!
I’m so old I was there when Dylan broke out.
Weird to see so many musicians of my youth get the Bio movie treatment.
I think he actually sounds pretty good singing. Afterwards I like the line “you’re kind of an ashole Bob” because he was kind of an asshole. Joan Baez was the real deal working towards social justice, I think he was more just riding the hippie wave.
And he basically stole Suze’s entire personality and was one of those dudes who leeched art, interests, and mental stability from the women in his life and then made everything look like it was his own… I love Dylan don’t get me wrong but sometimes I think maybe Inside Llewyn Davis was a more accurate biopic than any of us realized. He has some great moments and is deservedly an icon but he isn’t above some casual sexism and problematic moments.
America is a young country (compared to others), started by rebellious people, by outsiders, by the desperate. And immigrants continue to come. So, we fly our flag, a lot, because of pride, of celebration and to welcome new citizens.
Back in the day my long string of musician boyfriends absolutely worshipped Dylan and played him constantly. I learned great respect for the music and also learned one of the worst things you could ever be was Bob Dylan’s girlfriend. lol. Dude is *mean.* Like, Idiot Wind is a monumental evisceration of his ex. Interestingly though, as opposed to the album version, the bootleg version is slow and thoughtful and full of heartache. So Dylan actually chose to put the amped up mean version on his album. Too bad because the bootleg shows much greater artistry. Also, the lyrics of that song are absolutely brilliant. Taylor Swift could take some good notes.
