Reports this week that there are moves afoot to make a biopic of the great Bill Hicks:
Bill Hicks, the anarchic comedian who shocked enough people in the late 80s and early 90s to be dubbed ‘Goat-boy’, is to be played by Russell Crowe in a new biopic.
Of course, the real problem is not who should play him, but that someone actually thinks there’s a reason to make a biopic at all. God knows there’s plenty of Bill Hicks out there for you all to see and listen to. This is just some marketing man’s stupid idea, and we all know what Bill thought of them….
