They show the trailer for this over and over and over at the gym on one of the feeds. Not only do I feel like I've seen this movie, I've seen it so many times that I now believe some of those things actually happened to me in real life.

Ha I was once hanging with friends and I asked “guys where we going when we were all on the bus singing Tiny Dancer? Oh yeah, sitting in a theater watching the actors do this in Almost Famous - DOH!

(That’s powerful film when you’ve actually inserted yourself into the scene and remember it as it being a first person experience)

I’ve watched that movie so many times. Every time Tiny Dancer plays on the radio I vividly think of that scene.

This movie was much darker than I was expecting. I like that it was set in 1991, which puts the main character the same age as me at the time.

William Fichtner is such a cool actor. He seems to nail every role.

That's a great scene.
