just rewatched this a couple weeks ago- commented on it in the movie thread.

usually these gimmicky narrative structure things tend to not have legs... and maybe it's just been that long since I saw it, but I thought it held up really well. first time I'd seen Jack Black on screen (at first viewing in the theater) and I remember thinking he was amazing and not as annoying as I found him on rewatch.

I will now sell 5 copies of The Three EPs by the Beta Band.

The Hulu series was pretty good as well but was a casualty of the pandemic. Zoey Kravitz starred as Rob and Da'Vine Joy Randolph was hilarious in the Frank Black role.

movie is awesome...the Cusack quasi depressed shtick is kinda meh, but it works with this movie. Jack Black's best role for me.

He made me laugh just about every second he was on screen, whether he spoke or not.

Overall I liked the movie, but it reminded me that my musical tastes were pretty much out of step with my peers. Probably #4 of my Desert Island Top 5 Cusak movies.

A lot of that was filmed in my old neighborhood in Chicago. Love watching it to see what the hood used to look like.

Love when that Beta Band song comes on...always reminds me of that scene.

I actually went out to a record store and bought this CD. It's......not very good.

This is one of those movies that made the book proud. Not many movie adaptations of books hit the mark; this one nailed it.

Lol. The single he played, Dry the Rain... Is still great. But yeah, the rest didn't grab me the same way.

Just read the book a couple months ago and decided to buy the movie on Google, was four bucks, I think.

Pause it when he inserts Marie de Salle's CD.

In the 2000 movie "High Fidelity", John Cusack's character Rob ...

I would totally let Lisa Bonet sing Ghostbusters to me.
