I'm a Libs fan too. I watched the documentary last night. His wife did a good job at capturing moments only a close loved one would have access to.
The film romanticises him.

On drugs, he comes across as only being interested in drugs for creative purposes so that side of him seems selfish and its difficult to have any sympathy for him. Having said that I hope he stays off the junk and stays with his wife who appears to be a good influence.

The documentary is (unintentionally) hilarious. It’s like a Rock Profile parody. Or a Chris Morris Brasseye pisstake. I had to turn it off after 20 minutes as it was so cringe. What a complete waste of time. His wife really hasn’t got a clue when it comes to portraying the subject in an intriguing manner. It’s no better than a 6th form video project. I’d recommend the first 20 minutes to anyone who could do with a giggle though.

They should have been open to using other recordings rather than just those by his now wife. She clearly entered his life once he was already addicted and the libertines were pretty much over. It could have been a lot more interesting, I think.
But also she was clearly scared to paint him in too much of a bad light because of who she is.

Watched it the other night. Took me two attempts. Loads seemed to be missed and it jumped some of the years pretty fast. He didn't really seem to have much to say either and agree they should have used other footage to pad it out if anything.

What's the tea on Katia DeVidas? All we know is, French, hired as a filmmaker before somehow ending up as the keyboardist for Peter's band, The Puta Madres. She reportedly didn’t do drugs like many of his crowd. Toured with them for...nearly 10 years? Then 20 years after first documenting his life, she released her own film on his life.

She seems to be a very good influence in him.

Comes from a family who are loaded. 💰 💰
Pete’s working class fantasies don’t extend to his partners it seems.

He’s such a head. Lives in a posh heap surrounded by detritus in a desperate bid to be deep and artsy but actually he’s privileged and had every opportunity afforded to him. He’s like the living embodiment of what Pulp’s Common People is about. In his head he’s a poet, elegantly slumming it while drinking himself to death, but everyone else thinks he’s a self-indulgent waste of space loser.

The 00's music scene in general, particularly indie, was very annoying for everyone pretending they were working class.

The most recent thing is that he deliberately fails to manage his diabetes to the point his toes are falling off. He also would've been injecting into his femoral for many years which would give him severe circulation issues in his legs.
He's got a daughter who's about four.
I lost my dad at 13 and it traumatised me. He wasn't a muggy or heavy alkie but he ate no vegetables, smoked 20 fags a day and drank beer daily. Only about four though!
Pete won't last more than another five years unless he sorts it out.
Could he not try ozempic or gastric surgery? Idk. I guess he just doesn't give a tit.

Yeah i don't think he cares. His body is totally wrecked. He would need to completely overhauls his lifestyle and i dont think he's capable of that. Bet its taking all his will to remain relatively sober.
