Almost Famous

Watched this movie for the first time yesterday...great film and one hell of a soundtrack. Loved the recurring juxtaposition of "cool and un-cool" (rock and roll life on the road against the 'sweeter' lifestyle of William Miller, and especially, his mom) as well as William's coming of age story in general. Frances McDormand was great as ever.

Great scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman

The only currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool

Found out afterwards that this is a semi-autobiographical film, as Crowe himself wrote for Rolling Stone in his teenage years and himself had an overprotective mother and broken family.

Any other fans on the Movie/TV board, or questions to ponder? Loved the movie, "Tiny Dancer" scene was just brilliant and took me back to my childhood when my dad's classic rock playlist would blare through the radio.
