Almost Famous is a very good movie. "Untitled" - the director's cut - is a GREAT movie. There are so many great moments that were cut (for time?) from the theatrical release. Like the whole scene between Russell & Penny in the Hyatt House Ice Machine room. Or the fact that when William tells Penny that she was bartered for $50 and a case of beer, it was just AFTER the band and crew threw her a surprise birthday party. SO much great material excised from the "Untitled" version! If THAT had been the version released, Kate Hudson wouldn't have just been nominated for an Oscar - she would have WON. If you love this movie and haven't seen the longer director's cut - seek it out. It will be a revelation. (And as a bonus - the BluRay edition I have has a commentary track by Cameron Crowe and HIS MOM! 😁)
I love this movie so much, it's definitely in my top 10. It captures the music scene of that time period so perfectly. And the fact that so much of it is based on Cameron Crowe's real life makes it even more special
The lead singer is played by Jason Lee. He’s a former professional skateboarder. He also was the lead on a television series named “My name is Earl”. Oh, and he often has a role in Kevin Smith movies.
This is a very special movie for me. I grew up as a kid at about the same time as William. I loved everything Rock & Roll and mad it a point to see every concert I could. Back then you could often get autographs or talk to a member of your favorite band. Most of the arenas didn't have underground parking for the tour buses like they do now. You could catch the band leaving their bus or after the show just hanging out in a hotel lobby. If you wanted to smoke some pot at the concert there was always someone to pass you a joint. If you wanted a beer but weren't old enough there was a guy that would buy one for you if you paid for his. Ticket prices for even the biggest bands were $5 - $10. It was a great time to be young, I still have almost every ticket stub for all the concerts I've seen, hundreds of them.
Exactly, she could tell William was young and innocent, so by saying "oh, me too" after he said 18, he then said he was really 17. "Oh, me too" again, and then he was really 16, etc. slowly coaxing the truth out of him. In reality (for the movie), I believe Penny/Lady was around 22/23.
I wish the suggestion for this movie was the directors cut because it made the movie even better. The directors cut has scenes that fill in some of the gaps in the story. Best scene added was a radio station scene with the guitarist from the duo/group Tenacious D (Jack Black is the other member). This is my favorite movie of all time. I have literally watched this movie once a month every month since 2001.
Interesting trivia: 1. Zooey Deschanel (Anita, the older sister) was in "Elf" as Jovie, and Fairuza Balk (Sapphire) was in "The Waterboy" with Adam Sandler. 2. Frances McDormand (The mom, Elaine) is married to Joel Coen, one of the co-directors of O Brother, Where Art Thou? 3. Nominated for 4 Oscars in 2000: two nominations for Supporting Actress (Frances McDormand as Elaine, and Kate Hudson as Penny); Best Film Editing, and win for Best Original Screenplay for Cameron Crowe, who also directed the film. 4. Cameron Crowe owned most of the records seen behind for William as a kid. 5. Before being re-cast as Penny Lane, Kate Hudson was originally supposed to play Anita. 6. Philip Seymour Hoffman had other projects he was working on with this one, so his part was filmed over four days. He had the flu the entire time he filmed his role as Lester Bangs. 7. William's "ask me again" line when Penny asks him if he wants to go to Morocco with her was unscripted. Actor Patrick Fugit thought the camera had stopped rolling, so he was asking Kate Hudson to ask him again in preparation for a new take. Cameron Crowe liked it so much he kept it in the film. 8. Elaine was inspired by Cameron Crowe's real-life mother. She appeared in a cameo, but Crowe tried to keep her away from Frances McDormand so she could play the character as realistically as possible. However, he found both of them eating lunch together during their shooting day.
Wow, I've seen this but never had a memory flash like I just did. I have two sisters and a brother, 8,9, and 10 years older than me. Sisters were hippies and brother was a punch card computer geek. In 1976 all my siblings had left home and gave (10 year old me) all their albums. The stash of records looked the same as this kid. Or course I did nothing cool like he did, but I do win a lot of 70s music trivia questions.
Another great Cameron Crowe flic was Singles (‘92). Fab grunge soundtrack & epic cameos. CC does a poetic job directing in concert w/his soundtracks. And I think he’s one of the best at encapsulating a vivid snapshot of life steeped in the setting he’s filming in: 70’s Tourbus teens; 90’s Seattle twentysomethings; 00’s SportsAgent finding himself… Thought you’d dig AF, your laughter is simply wonderful & my healing hopes/prayers are with you, your Mom & fam at this time. You’re too kind to give us these reactions-pls be extra kind to yourself. Big hugs!! 🎬🎧✌️
This is a semi-biographical story of Cameron Crow who wrote Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Nancy Wilson from the band Heart, wrote the entire score for this film. The names were changed as this was really about Cameron going with Led Zeppelin at the age of 15 not letting anyone know his age to write for Rolling Stone magazine
If you get a chance to read up on this movie and watch it again, you'll really enjoy it. For the most part, this is a collection of true stories that really happened in the life of Cameron Crowe. Lester Bangs (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) was a real person who was just as fascinating as he is in the movie. Jann Wenner really was the founder of Rolling Stone and the real Wenner has a cameo in the back of a taxi when William is looking for Penny. Legendary guitarist Peter Frampton is at the card game where Penny gets sold for "$50 and a case of beer", as is comedian Mitch Hedburg. The DVD includes commentary by Cameron Crowe and his mom (played by the amazing Francis McDormand) and is worth a listen. The deleted "radio interview" scene is worth finding and watching. Best lines and best moments in the movie are both from Penny Lane: "You ARE home" and "What kind of beer?" This is a great movie that stands up to as many watches as you're willing to give it.
Fyi, faxes were invented in 1843 by a Scottish professor Alexander Bain. Some of the first commercial systems were sent by telegraph to automatically assembling printing presses. Some newspapers faxed pages to distant cities for printing and publishing. I imagine 18 minutes would be an incremental improvement in speed (probably not the IBM Selectric ball typewriter/printer model that took over teletypes in the mid '70's).
Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies so when I scrolled by this on UA-cam I was interested in seeing what someone who had never seen it would react to it. What caught me the most off guard is that I forget that not everyone is old enough to know references to the 1970's the way that I do so your genuine surprise as to what was going on was refreshing to me. I was surprised that you had no idea that the guy from Humble Pie (I'll get to the reference in a moment) that "won" Penny Lane for 50 bucks and a case of Heiniken was Peter Frampton. Peter Frampton was the leader of the BAND Humble Pie in the early 1970's before going solo, which was the joke. Jimmy Fallon!
@@AwesomeUSMoviesYou're welcome. Now, granted, you've now seen the theatrical version, you have to watch the director's cut, which is entitled "Untitled". Many scenes are extended to explain a great deal more, and some are in a different order.

I forgot to mention…. I’m understanding that you like music… you know TOM HANKS, and LIV TYLER…. I highly recommend the movie by RON HOWARD( Opie Taylor of the Andy Griffith show as well as Richie Cunningham of HAPPY DAYS, the movie is called THAT THING YOU DO. I believe you will enjoy this movie 🤩🎶😍
@tempsitch5632 I argue it is true based on the fact it won the best screenplay Academy Award. And who the f do you think you are pissing in someone's Cheerios and then saying something is inarguably what you think it is??! Seriously. F off. I think what you meant to say was, "In your opinion, you believe this is inarguably not one of the best films of all-time." . . . and that would be your opinion, which is very easy to argue with, 'cause it's dumb.
I'm not too surprised schools don't teach cursive anymore. I saw a young reactor who saw a note written in cursive in a movie and actually said, "What was that writing?" Aghast is right! Also, judging by the hideously atrocious quality of the writing in comment sections, I'd guess they don't teach punctuation or spelling either! Sheesh!! 😂
Penny Lane was played by Kate Hudson, who is Goldie Hawn's daughter. Since you haven't seen a lot of movies, I don't know if you know who Goldie Hawn is, but she has made many movies that you should react to. I recommend your Patreon's pick between these Goldie Hawn movies: Foul Play, Private Benjamin, Death Becomes Her, and Overboard. One of Kate Hudson's most recent films was "Glass Onion," which you should totally watch, but before you do you should watch the movie "Knives Out" (since GO is a sequel to it) and I think you should also watch a Goldie Hawn comedy first, as Hudson's performance in GO is her only performance that really reminds me of her mother.
James wait. Are you saying you do reactions for individuals that you don't necessarily even post? If so, that is wild. We're really living in the future lol
Kinda, there has only been a couple of reactions that won't ever make it to UA-cam. Generally it's becuase it has WAY to much music or to much editing to make it work on UA-cam. But for the most part, they will all get on UA-cam eventually.
Growing up, my best friend’s mom was an English teacher at Clairmont High, the school where Fast Times is based off of. She knew the real life Spicoli and other characters, and said the movie characters were fairly accurate. Mary Catherine Swanson. She started the AVID college prep program.
Weird movie. Nothing really happens. Wanted more, at story or any reason to like any one of the characters or even get some good acting but there isn’t any. Cameron Crowe’s least entertaining flick.
This movie is losly based off of a underage gruopie. There is a very dark underbelly in the movie and music industry. This movie glorifies that dark underbelly. I hate this movie so much.
I agree with part of this. But there has also been many studies that suggest if we removed all illigal/immoral tendencies in our world... It wouldn't go well. Free Will is by definition the ability to make unwise decisions.
Penny Lane was loosely based on Pamela Des Barres who claimed she was 19 when she started hooking up with rock stars. Penny was also lying about her age to William in this movie according to Cameron Crowe.

Oh good

"Your mom kind of freaked me out." "She means well." 🙂
He played that scene so well
This movie is loosely based on the true life story of Cameron Crowe, the film's writer and director, as he was a magazine writer for Rolling Stone.
Very loosely based!!! Crowe wasn't nearly as prolific as the movie depicts.
@@philmakris8507 he did a cover story on Led Zep after touring with them among 240 other stories for Rolling Stone and other mags. Prolific enough?
And he was involved in a love triangle between a groupie and one of the Allman brothers, but I can never remember if it was Greg or Duane.

The actress who played Penny Lane is actually Goldie Hawns daughter in real life and she got an Academy Award nomination for this role

Welcome to The Road for 1970's bands. And it's very likely strongly based on a real band and a real experience for the writer.

A mostly autobiographical film by the writer/director Cameron Crowe...
Not really
@@philmakris8507 How about semi-autobiographical? Crowe's described it that way, I believe.
Hey James, Check out the better movie based on Crowe's writings.
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH
It's actually been on a couple of polls but hasn't won yet.
Growing up, my best friend’s mom was an English teacher at Clairmont High, the school where Fast Times is based off of. She knew the real life Spicoli and other characters, and said the movie characters were fairly accurate. Mary Catherine Swanson. She started the AVID college prep program.
Cursive is not a necessity. It is an utterly useless way of writing that has expired.
