Haven't seen AF, given who is involved high doubt it's close to fucking with TRT.

Absolutely love Almost Famous. Philip Seymour Hoffman riffing about the pitfalls of the music industry/journalism, the "I am a golden god" party scene, the awkwardness of William Miller, Jason Lee being Jason Lee, and of course when they sing tiny dancer, could go on and on.

my favorite Cameron Crowe movie.

only saw almost famous once. it was good, but i didn't think it was great.

plus in TRT when danny glover falls down that hole in mid conversation; it cracks me up every time.

Royal Tennenbaums has suffered because if its sequels being carbon copies of the original.

Somewhat true.

All of Anderson's movies blend together for me, and I'm just really bored with him now. RT, Rushmore and Bottle Rocket still are fantastic though.

Would've said Almost Famous three years ago.

Not the case anymore.

Never got the Almost Famous praise.

Tenebaums easily. Probably the last great Anderson movie.

Sorry, Registered Sex Offender dude, but Almost Famous is a dope movie especially if you like rock 'n roll and have ever had a crush on an older girl who was unattainable.

My analogy is nowhere near accurate. Replace Pepsi with piss water, this movie is for cocklovers.

I liked Almost Famous, but this is no contest. Tennenbaums is certainly my favorite Wes Anderson movie.
