Have you seen Almost Famous?
Have not gotten around to it. Should I watch the long version or the short version?
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yes I think Crudup is a good choice. IMO he's very good at disappearing into a role.

I kept expecting Jean Valjean to start singing "One day more!"
I definitely had moments of "haven't I heard this before?", but I couldn't say from where.
I think it was reminding me of Star Wars, but that may just be the general John Williamsness shining through.
There's an old lady watching The Lives of Others but we didn't sell any tickets for this last show. I'm afraid of startling her if I walk up in the dark and ask to see her ticket, plus she looks kinda scary in a stern headmistress sort of way. Plus there's less than half an hour left of the show. I would have died if I had to leave without watching the ending. I am letting her get away with it. Go sneaky old lady!
Heh, Laga. You movie-watching thief-enabler, you!
whoops wrong thread.
There are other, non-Sylar/Spock related things at that link. (It's to watch with Kristin.)
