Director/writer Cameron Crowe and some of the actors (including the kid who plays HIM as a kid) were there, and I must report that it's an even better movie than I expected - there were a lot of trims made since I saw it last, and they all improved the pacing and the impact of the movie (though I wish they hadn't cut a line from "Lester Bangs" about how, if Lou Reed is doing Bowie, and Bowie is doing Lou, then Lou Reed is still Lou!)... Yes, I worked on it, and I've been advising you MLL fans to see it for the Lester Bangs connection, but beyond all that, it was an amazing fucking film... if any of you remember SAY ANYTHING, it is like that movie told against the backdrop of a 70's rock band. All the actors are awesome, it's funny, heartbreaking, all that good stuff... see it and judge for yourself. My big contributions were the door slams & buzzer at the rock stadium, and the malfunctioning, squeaky tape recorder...
