Just resaw " Almost Famous " and all is just fine in this one, from the script to the music, Kathe hudson just to be fell in love with, as for the rest of the crew, excelent excellent with Mc Dormand as good as an actress can be.
One hours and something of pure fun.
I real dig it.....
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
Follow Ups:
Nice debut that was, and still hlds up.That sold me on him.
I love Almost Famous. I was writing about music and following bands when I was in college and just beyond. AF captures the feeling of that time wonderfully.
Great cast.
This one and Say Anything I own on disc. Take a look at the DC, AF got a bit hacked in theatrical release.
Yes the point is, he captured a part of our youth.
Next time I will feel the urge to have another look at it I will turne to the DC, thanks.
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
It's a romance comedy with Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon, written and directed by Crow. Hopefully Crow pulls out something unique.
I guess I am a Crow fan, mainly because because he married my childhood crush. Lucky bastard.
...the soundtrack.
I saw the film at the theater when it first came out and picked up the soundtrack shortly after.
Very entertaining and a good reconstruction of those days...as I recall them. I started reading Rolling Stone in 1969.
Trivia - Cameron Crowe is married to Ann Wilson (the guitar-playing blonde) of Heart.
The time where this story took place, particularly the bass.
It has meat on the bones...
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
Who BTW is the real deal on guitar. Can not say that about to many women for some reason, at least in the rock world and especially in the 70's.
"Kathe hudson just to be fell in love with".
But what about her tits?????
Best Regards,

Me hands are small...
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
...are OK by me!
They're non-existent.
Not mosquito.
Not gnat.
Freckle-sized?
When I was at school, one particularly unendowed girl was nick-named 'spider's ankles'.

He must not want to. Seen all of his except Elizabethtown. Is it worth checking out?
that I think sums it up well...
"Near the end of Elizabethtown, Claire Colburn (Kirsten Dunst) tells the lead character, Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom), that he must go deep into the "beautiful melancholy" of everything that has happened to him. That pretty much sums up director Cameron Crowe's modus operandi for the movie. While Crowe would certainly describe the film as whimsical, the word Drew uses to describe the look on his father's face the first time he sees his dad's corpse, the truth is that the film is unfocused.
Containing elements of a corporate satire, a romantic comedy, an affectionate look at an eccentric southern family, and a warm-hearted lesson about living through tough times, Elizabethtown fails to make any of these elements cohere. Orlando Bloom gives a one-note performance, but he is playing a one-note character who spends the whole film in a listless suicidal funk doing little more than waiting to cry. He offers nothing that compels an audience to pay attention to him, so the average viewer will begin focusing on the edges of the film. Crowe obliges by stuffing the film with ancillary characters. Alec Baldwin, Judy Greer, Susan Sarandon, and Bruce McGill all have a scene or two that showcases their talent, but they are also each given moments so misconceived that they produce little more than head-scratching disbelief in the audience.
Playing a character simply too good to be true, Dunst embodies her perfect, unselfish woman with just enough pain below the surface to make her interesting, even though she remains entirely unbelievable. Without her, the film would be close to unbearable. What makes this mess of a movie all the more fascinating is that Crowe's relentless bittersweet melancholy seems entirely heartfelt. He is not talking down to his audience, tricking them into feeling big emotions. Crowe's honesty and earnestness make it difficult to hate the film because he plainly believes the moral of his own story. However, he became so focused on sharing his feelings in each moment that he never saw the big picture. As a result, Elizabethtown is a mess of a movie that only a talented writer could create."
"You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."
Maybe on tv sometime but I will not go out of my way.
Thanks for the review.
Maybe if you read what I wrote about AF, you may be illuminate...
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
Entertaining, though.
Okay, it's good....
Barely.
I mean it has nothing in common with W& I.
I mean you can compare it with, dunno, like Peter´s Friends " or somethink like that, what was this picture with the homosexual guy, an English film...
Don´t remember we had dicussed it here too...
Anyway...See what I mean..
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
close to "W&I."
Hollywood crapola, as Vic would say.
Popcorn seller.
The film was autobiographical, based upon Cameron Crowe's early life. He started out as a rock journalist. Heck, he married a rock star. I would argue that Cameron Crowe did not make a film to depict those times. Rather, I think his film was about a young kid who had certain dreams of what it was like to be a writer covering your heroes, and then finding that not only was being a writer not the dream he thought it would be, but also that his heroes were not the heroes he thought they were.
A similar film could have been made about an athlete, student, etc. The story is about loosing the mind of innocence that kids have, and seeing that innocence in their eyes evaporate when they enter the real world. The music is icing on the cake.
Hollywood often churns out happy, melodramatic endings, and these are the films that Victor lambastes. AF does not have a happy ending. It has a depressing ending, that most adults know all too well.
And also enough deeph to keep one thinking after the show is over.
There are no receipts for good films, only people who have a story to tell-
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."

" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
Just worked with the lead actor from Almost Famous, Patrick Fugit. A nicer fellow you will not meet. he was in another little gem. Saved.
I hope it will save me, from borodom...
" Mieux vaut une tęte bien faite qu'une tęte bien pleine."
The awakening of a boy to manhood and the opening of his mind to music, art and friends.
"Allowing the very wealthy to keep their excessive wealth and have it trickle down to others will not work."
So, take their money, go DEMS!!!!!
rock criticisms in Rolling Stone ( and great reading they made, too! )
Played by Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film
Yep, and I subscribed to Circus Raves and NME back in the dayVery funny stuff, tickled this old farts funnybone

Oh, from CREEM magazine ( an interview with Lou Reed in '75 )
"...Lou's sallow skin almost as whitish yellow as his hair, whole face and frame so transcendently emaciated he had indeed become insectival. His eyes were rusty, two copper coins lying in desert sands under the sun all day with telephone wires humming overhead, but he looked straight at me. Maybe through me..."
and "I'm with the Band" Pamela des Barres classic memoir is highly salvageable too
That got me going; where are m'meds?
