More Muhney, because apparently I can't get enough of him.

[green_queen]

If you don't love Michael Muhney yet, you will after reading this interview. Though why you wouldn't love him yet I have no idea. Not when he's that funny as well as the sweetest person in history.

ETA: *FLAILS LIKE A MAD FLAILY...THING...*
He replied to my post in the rack_of_lamb community! How is he so awesome?

Jarrow272: What attracted you most to the role and/or the show?

MM: The money. The drugs. The power. Okay, Rob Thomas.

ETA: Rachael Blake at Comic-con. The Hanso chick.

ETA one more time: Guy Sebastian performs Climb Every Mountain, because I'm feeling the season 1 Australian Idol nostalgia. Oh Guy, I love you. Plus, he points to Courtney Act in the audience at Dicko's 'Oxford Street' comment.

Today I saw Almost Famous

My sister had already seen the movie and while the credits were rolling I kept hitting her and saying "Why didn't you tel me *insert name here* was in this?!" Admittedly I missed like 90% of the awesome people under all that hair, but still.

Okay, I LOVED this movie. I felt exactly like Patrick Fugit, wondering through the world of rock star cool and all the pros and cons that it presents, and I loved every minute of it. Kate Hudson was completely amazing as Penny Lane, too, and I kind of love Jason Lee. Billy Crudup reminds me of Jonathan Schaech in That Thing You Do. The movie was shot really well, so intoxicating and gorgeous, and the real world is so...unappealing, less real somehow, less alive. Zooey Deschanel is beautiful. It was so well written, too, sharp and funny and clever. LOVE.

ETA: two things I forgot to mention. Firstly, the music is SO well chosen and really fantastic, but what more would you expect from a music fan? Secondly, there is BONUS BOYKISSING (Billy Crudup kisses Jason Lee's cheek at the end of the movie). Boykissing always gets points.

9 out of 10.

More pretty Outsiders icons.

I saw JDM on Grey's Anatomy tonight. Denny! ♥ I love him so much.

Almost Famous is one of my most favourite movie ever. It's so good. ;o)

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was really impressed by it. It definitely lived up to the hype.

[jynnantonnyx28.livejournal.com]

Ack! I love Almost Famous, such a beautiful movie. Definately Cameron Crowe's best work.

If you're taking recommendations I've seen these movies lately and really enjoyed them: Requiem for a Dream (possibly the most depressing film I have ever seen), Wag the Dog and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

First thoughts on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (http://green-queen.livejournal.com/391856.html#cutid1).
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang icons (http://green-queen.livejournal.com/426390.html#cutid1).

Suffice it to say I. Love. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. We have it on DVD and my sister and I have watched it like 10 times since buying it. I want to be Gay Perry when I grow up.

[jynnantonnyx28.livejournal.com]

I just saw it tonight :) I love Gay Perry!! I agree about the chemistry between Val and Robert - it was awesome!!

And the tag scene drove me crazy, which just made it all the sweeter when she pointed it out *giggle*

After the first scene I knew I loved it LOL And I didn't realise it was his son!! How cool :) weee, I love this film.

.........IT'S FROM THE MOVIE!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

LMAO I totally didn't connect your comment with the movie.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

MICHAEL MUHNEY REPLIED TO MY POST IN . I am shamelessly showing off by telling everybody because it is the BEST. THING. EVER.

[clippage.livejournal.com]

S:LDKKJG:ALSKD:LGKASD:L YEY!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

AS"SLKFJ:SJFH"AKFHS:KF I KNOW.

[jenish.livejournal.com]

Okay, you have totally converted me to the Muhney love.

The show? Turks. The exec. producer and director? Bob Singer. Yes, that Bob, the one who is the exec. producer of Supernatural. I saw him, and had fun chatting with him over fond memories, at the TCAs recently. I forgot to bust his chops. Maybe next time. Oh yes, there will be revenge.

I kinda maybe love him quite a bit, omg.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I love how he saw the guy and forgot that he was mad at him, because I do that all the time.

YOU MUST BE CONVERTED. He may play an ass but Muhney is possibly the sweetest person on the face of the planet. How is he so awesome?!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

HE REPLIED TO MY POST. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

[jenish.livejournal.com]

OKAY, SO, HE WINS AT LIFE.

He's going to make me like Lamb, isn't he? Dammit. Hah, like I mind.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Watch 'Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner' again and try not to like Lamb just a little after that, I dare you.

Also watch the shirtless scene again. And then Donut Run, and then every other scene he's ever been in, because yes, HE WINS AT LIFE.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

God, I love Almost Famous so much.

Before Saturday I liked Michael Muhney a bunch, but now? I've been converted. I LOVE HIM. He's the greatest.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I LOVE HIM TOO HE REPLIED TO MY POST OMG.

[nentari.livejournal.com]

So much love for Almost Famous. It has got to be the best work Cameron Crowe ever did, which is not surprising since it came straight from the heart (you probably already know this, but Patrick Fugit's character is Cameron Crowe at that age, and all of the characters surrounding him are also based on real people - Penny Lane, for instance, is Liv Tyler's mom).
The moment when the sister leaves, using "America" as the explanation for her decision has got to be one of my all-time favourite movie moments ever.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Definitely his best work. It's so good. Oh, I forgot to mention the music, too! That was great.

Penny Lane is Liv's mum? Makes sense. So that makes the band...Aerosmith?

MICHAEL MUHNEY RESPONDED TO MY POST IN rack_of_lamb.

[nentari.livejournal.com]

Penny Lane is Liv's mum? Makes sense.
Bebe was queen of groupies in that time, so the link is quite obvious. In her Wikipedia bio it says that Crowe even used statements from interviews she made over the years for Penny's lines.

So that makes the band...Aerosmith?
I think Aerosmith came later. Actually, I was discussing it with my dad, and we agree with Stillwater being a mix of all the bands Crowe toured with in the early '70s when he wrote all those articles for Rolling Stone - especially the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Fleetwood Mac.

And let's not forget the fact that Peter Frampton gave guitar lessons to Billy Crudup for the role, besides being in charge of the group's stunning sound. So cool.

MICHAEL MUHNEY RESPONDED TO MY POST IN rack_of_lamb.
Yay! *dances with you*

[ack-attack.livejournal.com]

Actually, I know Penny Lane is a real person, but I read an interview with Cameron Crowe where he said that she was just a regular person now, but she emailed him when she saw the movie. I don't think it was Liv Tyler's mom...

[nentari.livejournal.com]

You must be talking about Penny Trumble. However, from interviews and articles about Cameron Crowe, I gather that even though Penny gave the name to the character Liv's mom was indeed the real Penny Lane.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Actually if you read through that Wikipedia page you'll discover that they're both Penny Lane. So you're both right.

[ack-attack.livejournal.com]

Almost Famous pwns all!!!

The whole thing is just perfect.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I love that you and _allshallfade posted one after the after using icons clearly from the same batch.

[ack-attack.livejournal.com]

Haha! Yeah, I actually showed that batch to her, and we both went nuts. And there was much rejoicing. :D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_allshallfade/]

LET ME SPAZ ONCE AGAIN ABOUT MUHNEY COMMENTING ON YOUR POST. DKFJSDJF;LSDJFKLSDJF;KLSDJFKLSDJAF;AJSD;LJ

Okay. Moving on.

Almost Famous!!! No words to describe my love for that movie. It's probably #3 on my list of favorites. I'm so glad you loved it.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

EVERY TIME I REREAD THAT COMMENT I WANT TO POST IN MY LJ ABOUT IT AGAIN. It's taking enormous constraint to stop myself.

I love that you and ack_attack posted one after the after using icons clearly from the same batch.

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

That is awesome of truffle_shuffle to get you that. Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the VM signing, because I attended the panel, instead, lol.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

She is the awesomest, I love her.

I can't wait to see your photos! The one you made an icon out of, with Jason and Ryan, is adorable.

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

I finally got them all resized & cropped, but now I'm trying to decide the best way to host them. I may finally give the livejournal picture host a try.

Thanks! :)

[miss-universe93.livejournal.com]

Guuuuuy ♥

So yeah, that's my pointless comment of the day, right there XD

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I ♥ Guy too.
