Viced, Mattsby , Archie Ok guys, listen .......just hear me out on this - Pacino as Westerberg, De Niro as Bob Stinson, Pesci as Tommy Stinson, Denzel as Prince, Jonah Hill as Bob Mould.......just spitballin' here .......... Josh Boone:: "This is what happens anytime you engage with a corporate entity to try to bring something to the screen that they own. It’s just a fact. Like, the next thing Knate and I are doing, is I’m going to direct and we adapted Bob Mehr’s best-seller Troubled Boys, about the band The Replacements, and we’ve been able to do it without any corporate involvement." www.slashfilm.com/new-mutants-reshoots-2/

True...........but on the other hand pacinoyes already has the tagline for this movie: "Behind every great band there is a lot of beer and behind every beer..........is a Replacement."This stuff writes itself tbh ......

One of my first thoughts was ok this Boone guy YAing the Mats is a nightmare, watch him cast Nat Wolff as Westerberg and ruin everything. And sure enough back in October 2019, Wolff said, “I really want to play Paul Westerberg. Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars, has Trouble Boys, the book about The Replacements, and he has me attached to that. To play Westerberg would be a dream of mine,” he concluded. “I’ve been working on that movie, and I am excited for it to come to fruition, but maybe that’s bad luck saying that out loud? I don’t know. Hopefully, it will happen soon. I’m very excited about that.” Most likely our Westerberg folks:

No, don’t pick that naked brothers band loser for westerberg. Give me the part, I have 0 acting experience and only sing when I’m blacked out drunk. This is exactly how he would want it.

Not the loose, rowdy outtake version that comes at the end of the All For Nothing/Nothing For All cd but a sort of subdued, witty take that sounds like John Lennon/The Clash/Alex Chilton doing this classic. Westy plays with the words "stutter" (replacing "smother") and "sweet smell that you "ignore" (replacing "adore") and adds "money flow/money go" here - you can see how this song developed and Westerberg is way up front in the mix here - never heard this take either before.

...........and here we go...... Boone: This will tell you, again, how long things take. When we were shooting The New Mutants, I started working on, with Knate, we started working on an adaptation of Bob Mehr’s New York Times bestseller Troubled Boys, about the band The Replacements.So Nat Wolff is going to play Paul Westerberg. Nat’s been in just about everything I’ve done. He was in The Stand. He starred in my first movie. He was in The Fault in Our Stars. He’s one of the best actors on the planet. Owen Teague, who is in The Stand, is going to play Tommy Stinson in it – really in the second half of it, because in the first half, Tommy Stinson is like a 12-year-old.They were a band who had like a 12 or 13-year-old bass player through a lot of their early years. So, yeah, we’ve been working on that for years, and that’s really exciting. We’ve got all the scripts done for that, so I’m literally casting that right now. I’m going to go make that. And then I have a couple of other books under option that I’m sort of working on for after that.Gamesradar : I’m looking forward to seeing hopefully some of it very soon.Boone: Yeah! You’ll see two things this year, and then, you know, I don’t know! www.gamesradar.com/the-new-mutants-josh-boone-interview-sequel-strand-replacements/

I know Westerberg said "If a bad idea is more fun then I'll do the bad idea" but this isn't a good bad idea. YAing and making cute the Mats sort of misses, y'know, the whole first rung. Having said that, lotta teens are gonna become Mats fans from this and well, they will have great taste.

One week to go ... I like these "Unboxing" videos myself....like before I take a shower I personally call that "Unclothing" and all these recent reissues should be called The Replacements............ "Unfailing" Reviews in a couple days.......Live At Maxwell's (2017) is an 86 on Metacritic......Dead Man's Pop (2019) an 89.....how high can this possibly go......one foot in the door.....

Long-ish but interesting Podcast to play in the background instead of doing your actual job from home- Jason Jones from Rhino mentions about Tim and it's "sound" being improved (58 minutes) as something that he'd like to see in a future release and Sorry Ma's 40th anniversary maybe......and the reunion from a few years back also comes up........Bob Mehr touches on "adaptations" but nothing much on the movie really here....... EPISODE DETAILS Ep. #569: The Replacements’ ‘Pleased to Meet Me’ with Bob Mehr & Jason Jonesplay.acast.com/s/kreative-kontrol/ep.-569-thereplacements-pleasedtomeetme-withbobmehr-jasonjones

A couple 4/5 reviews have come out and should be a lot more in the late afternoon: americansongwriter.com/pleased-to-meet-me-finds-the-scruffy-heart-of-the-replacements-in-its-deluxe-reissue/ It remains a great, perhaps the greatest, example of The Replacements’ studio output. Whether you need all the extras, most of which are solid and worth hearing, depends on how attached you are to the contents and band. However, the detailed information in the accompanying book, and the many previously unseen photos, will deepen your understanding of the outfit, especially how they related to producer Dickinson during these storied sessions.

The extras should be (and are) just as essential as the remasters regardless of how attached you are to the band

Here we gooooo.... Viced will be happy, Run for the Country is crisp as could be, and has one of the best lyrics, from them for us, "You're all invited.... to leave 'em all behind." This release is the motherlode of good shit. Kick It In has been playing in my house and in my head non-stop these last few months. Lift Your Skirt is Jerry Lee esque kickass. One of the biggest surprises - sorry Paulie - is Tommy's stuff. Trouble on the Way, Even If It's Cheap, and especially Awake Tonight... these reminded me of the '00s bands I listened to growing up, but of course better than most of 'em. Sortof proves Tommy could've been a big star in his own less-genius way. Love the recording recap/interviews and all the little photos in the booklet.... my new favorite t shirt, and now I gotta find a goddamn cassette player too. One negative nugget, my least fav of the rough mixes is Red Red Wine.

Not to be a picky bitch... but it's too crisp for me tbh. Maybe I'm just too used to the rough version, but the vocals are too clean and loud! Sounds like the All Shook Down/Paul solo version of the song when I'd've preferred it to sound more like the good quality but still rough-ish You're Getting Married. But outside of that... while Dead Man's Pop was a miracle mostly for the Matt Wallace mix bringing new life to Don't Tell a Soul, this is a miracle for the absolute treasure trove of unreleased/barely released stuff in good quality. I've been listening to it on shuffle and can't really pick any favorites yet... but there are at least a few tracks that sound like they could've came off Hootenanny (and I mean this in the best way possible), Time Is Killing Us is kind of like a 4 minute version of Careless... Actually, Awake Tonight might be my favorite... and Tommy even sounds like Paul if you don't listen too closely, lol. This whole thing is overwhelmingly amazing.

Still a thing.......this is a couple weeks old ..... As busy as he is, Wolff still finds time to prepare for his next big project — a Josh Boone-directed miniseries about famed rock band The Replacements, based on the book Trouble Boys by Bob Mehr.
“[Trouble Boys] is a really beautiful book, and I think it’s going to make a really exciting TV show,” he says. Wolff is set to star as Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg. “It’s really character based. It doesn’t go through the usual ups and downs of a standard musical.” schonmagazine.com/interview-nat-wolff/

Miniseries? Wondering just how many episodes they'll draw it out to. But also kind of intriguing if they actually do this right.
But I'm hyped for this for one reason: to hear Paul's one-liner absolutely shitting on it in some interview (if he's ever interviewed again, lol).

I'm sure this will go well ...........what could go wrong? Up next, he is set to play his hero Paul Westerberg in “The Trouble Boys,” a biopic about The Replacements. “One of the hard things with that is to do crowd scenes because you need the audience and all that stuff. So that’s still being figured out how exactly we’re going to do that,” he says. “But it’s a dream. I’m going to get to meet Paul Westerberg, we’ll see how that goes.
And yeah, I know it’s an incredible story; they were these geniuses and they were almost these beautiful failures in a certain way. Like they wanted to fail, you know? And then at the same time, they ended up creating this incredible body of work and they had these really troubled childhoods and the book is just incredible.” wwd.com/eye/people/nat-wolff-mainstream-the-stand1234818767-1234818767/
