Great Interview With Cameron Crowe Online Now!!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Here’s something well worth reading this morning... an interview with Cameron Crowe. If you haven’t heard his director’s commentary tracks for VANILLA SKY, JERRY MAGUIRE, SAY ANYTHING or UNTITLED, then you have no idea just how engaging and entertaining Crowe can be. In each case, he manages to bend the form in some way and make the commentary tracks worthwhile additions to the film, genuine enhancements that are worth repeated listens.
Here’s our friend Greg to tell you what’s up:
Hey Moriarity! I hope all is well. Just thought you might like to know that I just posted a very in-depth interview with Cameron on his films, various rumors, his "lost film" Ricky Fedora which would have starred John Cusack, Parkey Posey, and David Bowie! and more.
CLICK HERE TO READ THE INTERVIEW!!
Thanks
Greg Mariotti

A great interview. Crowe has a dangerous tendency to climb up his own ass (thank God he didn't make "Ricky Fedora") but when he cuts the bullshit and tells a story, he makes a great movie ("Jerry MacGuire," "Almost Famous"). The interview also mentions the finest movie theater in North America, the Guild 45th of Seattle's legendary Wallingford District.

Cameron Crowe loves to take advantage of the DVD buyer by re-releasing the DVD's of his flicks with "Special Editons" waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

but concede that it was a pointless remake. The American version is the slightly better one though, cos the soundtrack is EXCELLENT. I happen to think Jerry Maguire is massively over rated though. Just my opinion.

My friend, what you need is some elementary school spelling primers. Type your posts in Word and spell-check them before posting if you must if you must, because at the moment they're bordering on unintelligible. I live in Australia, and thanks to the goddamn penguin-shit eating ass-spelunking region system for DVD distribution I haven't seen any of the Cameron Crowe DVDs with commentary tracks (not to mention a million other brilliant DVD packages), but I'd really love to hear the Say Anything commentary. It's probably my favourite Crowe movie (way better than the over-rated Jerry Maguire, but Almost Famous very nearly robbed it of the top spot), and ties with Grosse Point Blank as my favourite Cusack movie. Even the Peter Gabriel song in the soundtrack wasn't complete drivel, which means it was a career highlight for Gabriel. Plus Cusack wore a Clash t-shirt in the scene, which almost made up for his playing a Peter Gabriel song to his girlfriend in the first place.

..since, at least, _frampton comes alive_ and all his films are condescendingly numbskulled and panglossian, if increasingly more adroit in their cheery manipulation. but there's no calling his work, as a (ahem) music critic or as a big-cheese writer/director, anything less. or more, g-d save us. the final nail in the coffin had to be his completely disingenuous _almost famous_, where trading groupies for cases of beer are occasions for winning punchlines -- and the rattling you hear is lester bangs doing backflips in his grave, endeavoring to go all romero on crowe's "my so-called rock life" ass, for serving (via p.s. hoffman's standard superb performance) as a beard to crowe wholly non-existant rock credibility (it starts pretty low with lester doing something he wouldn't, ever, have possibly done -- referring to "The Stooges" as "Iggy Pop" -- and begins its feature-length decent from there). compare "fast times at rolling stone high" with "cocksucker blues" for accuracy in detail with early/mid-70's decadent elan/rock verisimilitude and, pysch! there's no comparison. the wholesale auto-fellating of the boomer-age critical community over this paean a la recherche des temps neant was unsavory, at the very least, nearly as bad as the equal embarassment they inflicted upon themselves with _american beauty_ (aka _trash twisting in the wind_)...please don't let me see another crowe-werke, if i can help it. yes, i was seven at the time, so, no i wasn't there -- if you went by _almost famous_ exclusively, you'd swear that neither was cameron crowe...
