"Elizabethtown": Picking up from an ILF Cameron Crowe thread

jesus is in elizabethtown?

and why is his performance subpar compared to the rest of the cast

worth it for the Skynyrd scene

wait, there's a scene in a Cameron Crowe movie prominently involving rock music?

I had managed to forget about this film, until now. Still, it produced one of Kermode's all-time greatest rants, in which he compares the cinema-going experience of a seeing it to a scene in Problem Child 2 involving vomit.

Cameron Crowe's most over-indulgent use of music in a film that still kind of works...

usually i like seeing movies set in/shot in louisville and kentucky, but i will make an exception to never, ever, ever in my life see this bullshit.

Say Anything is on now and it's so good I'm reviving TWO THREADS, because it deserves it.

Lili Taylor's room is full of ridiculous Joe paraphernalia. Bringin' the LOLS

has anybody seen this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Life_%28film%29

I randomly picked up the soundtrack and it is an odd artifact

i remember it from the time but haven't seen it in forever, i remember being disappointed cuz it was supposed to be like fast times only wilder and it was not, thirty year old memory from watching it as a ten year old but it reminded me more of something like linklater's suburbia, life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone, etc. it was sadder than what i was looking for at the time that's for sure.

meanwhile i had heard elizabethtown was bad but -
Actually, I do: On his cross-country road trip, he spreads part of his father's ashes at the Lorraine Motel?

Where, of course, the soundtrack briefly lapses into "Pride (In the Name of Love."

jesus h christ

The Wild Life is on youtube btw

I saw the Wild Life right when it came out, hoping for another Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I remember thinking Chris Penn was good--after which he seemed to disappear until Pulp Fiction--and that Lee Ving got off a line that my friend and I loved. But Fast Times, it wasn't.

reminded me more of something like linklater's suburbia

I would call this Eric Bogosian's Suburbia

thought this revive was going to be about Nathan Rabin's mea culpa today for coining Manic Pixie Dream Girl (which was originally about this movie)

Didn't realize Crowe had a Joni Mitchell film coming out (I should have--there was some clip of somebody well known doing a Mitchell song on late-night, like she was auditioning for the part).

Documentary or movie? I assume he has been in feature movie jail for a long while.

Movie (unfortunately, probably).
