Cameron Crowe did a great job on "Almost Famous." I like his directing and writing very much. Of course his film "Jerry McGuire" is also excellent. Renee Zellweger is so sweet in that film. In "Almost Famous," the scenes with "Lester Bangs" (Philip Hoffman) are terrific. http://www.furious.com/perfect/lesterbangs.html At the radio station: "Don't you think it's a little early for that?" "Not for me," and walking with William Miller: "Don't worry, you'll meet them all again on your journey back to the middle." Kate Hudson was about as cute as a girl can be. The music was...well, it was the music of the time and really fun to listen to. The scene in the bus where everyone joins in on "Tiny Dancer" was great film making.

Yeah, I love it a lot. Have you seen the extended cut C.C. put out on DVD a couple years ago? It adds something like over a half hour of deleted scenes back into the movie, and it makes the movie a whole lot better. Of course, I loved it to begin with. The deleted scenes don't change the movie in any way, just expands on it a little.

For example: probably my favorite scene in the movie now, wasn't in the original cut. When the new manager is talking to the band about how rock and roll is dead and it's all going to be taken over by big businesses, the extended cut goes to a long sequence of Penny Lane dancing in the theater alone to Cat Stevens' "The Wind". It's a perfect embodiment of the emotions people (fans and bands) put into rock music in the early seventies.

The whole movie manages to deal with some fairly heavy issues and keep a really innocent feeling. The perfect view of a very adult world through the eyes of a 15-year-old kid.

I always expected more from Patrick Fugit. He was great in this movie, and he's been great in every movie he's been in, and yet he's not really that famous. Oh, well, maybe he wants it that way.
