It’s true, the NY Times Arts Beat blog reports the legendary producer/wig owner/murderer Phil Spector is having a film made about his life, presumably about his legendary producing/wig owning/murdering, to be written by David Mamet for HBO Films and starring the one and only Al Pacino. This is going to be great. As you can see from Al’s gray-haired look as Dr. Jack Kavorkian above for the docudrama You Don’t Know Jack, Pacino can easily cop the aged resignation of real life social pariahs just fine. Since it’s still the early stages of production, though, they still don’t have a title. Let’s come up with one? If you need some facts upon which to base your film title pitches: Dude’s a ground-breaking genius, who is also serving a 19 years-to-life sentence for the murder of Lana Clarkson. Pretty standard. Cool so here are a couple to start:
- You’ve Lost That Living Feeling: The Story Of How Phil Spector Is A Murderer
- If You See Me Holding A Gun, Da Doo Ron Ron: The Story Of Phil Spector
Best submission wins the right to brag about it.

Also there is not going to be any silence in this movie; There will alway be either talking or/and music.

If we were on a similar titled internet site, a certain blue eyed soul singer/animatronic wolf may have called you a PLAGIARIST COMMENTATOR, but I would never do that.

Oh well, whatever. You guys know what that was going to be a picture of. I’m going back home.
No problem, no one else seems to realise that It’s obviously the best title anyway – the fools.

Grim Spector
In all seriousness, the snarky jokes attached to this “news” story were so offensive and sensationalist that I had to allow you to have my propitiatory facebook information to tell you how ignorant you chumps are.
Considering you’re some sort of “blog” that basically runs advertisements as news story on a daily basis you could have some respect for genuinely the most talented music maker of the prior era; especially considering your coverage focuses heavily on bands that are directly contrived from social and scientific notions from the person you’re mocking.
Regardless of what they call the Phil Spector Story I know what they’ll call the Stereogum movie.
