I had kind of... forgotten about Courtney Love? It's been a hot minute since I saw her anywhere, but she popped up at the National Portrait Gallery in the UK for some party or other, looking as though she's auditioning for a role in *The Buccaneers*. That show's thesis is basically "Americans are loud and laugh and dance and party a lot," and I feel like Courtney would fit in there nicely -- she could swing in as Christina Hendricks's previously estranged sister, who runs a speakeasy and gets the girls into all kinds of romantic trouble. To me, it'd be more fun than her next project, [*The Long Home*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4585910/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Funrel%5F1%5Fact&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), whose synopsis is, "A young contractor is hired to build a honky-tonk in Tennessee by the man who killed his father," is directed by freaking James Franco, and stars a bunch of people we would have been glad to see in a movie together in the Aughts: Franco (double the ugh), Danny Masterson apologist Ashton Kutcher (blech), Josh Hartnett (who knew I'd be so glad to see him in *Oppenheimer*?), Josh Hutcherson (okay, Peeta Mellark was from the twenty-teens, but still), Austin Stowell (*Secret Life of the American Teenager*), and Lio Tipton (who, in 2008, was on *America's Next Top Model*). How did Giancarlo Esposito get dragged into this? We can't know. But whatever Courtney is doing there, I far prefer the notion of her stirring up drama in the 19th century, nowhere near James Franco.
