holy shit almost famous is the probably the worst movie i've ever seen in my life ― J0rdan S.

Almost Famous is amazing! I thought it would inspire me to write a great article, but instead it inspired me to quit my job! ― Tape Store
I just watched this last night, so I searched to see how ILX viewed it.
If I had taken this movie at all seriously, as a heartfelt statement about youth and coming of age, or as an homage to an era of music I felt deeply about, or as an ode to the value of music journalism, I probably would have been as disgusted as Jordan. I suppose, if I were young enough, there's an outside chance I might have been as inspired as Tape Store. As it was, I merely enjoyed it because it was affectionate and shallow and cartoony and it made me laugh out loud five or six times. It entertained me for two hours and I'll have forgotten all about it in two weeks.

PSH as Lester Bangs was pretty awesome
Side-stepping the statutory rape groupie thing much less so
Randomly started watching clips the other night because of youtube recommendations - as not-particularly-good as the movie is, I'd totally watch a movie about Stillwater 2017, playing the Three Dog Night town arts festival circuit

I kinda love Velvet Goldmine, and as messy as it is I think it's the key to understanding Todd Haynes. He's made better films, but I think they become even better by watching Velvet Goldmine a couple of times and thinking about it.

I was watching Gone Girl two nights ago, which is the only time I've seen Patrick Fugit (William) since.

finally saw the “Untitled” cut aka Bootleg version
if you hate the movie you’ll still hate it obviously but imo it’s better than the theatrical cut, has a lot more moments btw characters, it benefits from being a bit slower paced
there is an extra scene where Stillwater do an on-air radio interview with Kyle Gass playing a stoned radio dj that is hilarious & perfect
(imo you could put it in the dictionary under “Album Oriented Rock radio station”)
