    anyway the story is more interesting than the poster. We started taking the students to a movie before christmas break. 3 years ago, I went into the men’s room of the AMC and saw “The Alamo” (2004) poster behind glass as if it were a movie currently showing. I thought it was very funny that a movie that nobody remembers is still hanging up in a movie theater.

    the next year, we went back and I immediately went to see the poster, but it was not there. One of my former students was the manager, so I asked her about it and she said they might have it in the back room. After Christmas break, I had the framed poster delivered to my classroom.

    It hung in the Franklin Mills AMC for 20 years. I had to walk by that poster on dates with my wife. Some of my students’ parents probably went on dates and walked by it before they were born. A piece of history. They announced the theater (and most likely the entire mall) was closing earlier this year. The Alamo (2004) poster survives.

    As a kid I got in good with the local video store and got tons of posters. I remember having Devil with a Blue Dress, Cutthroat Island and Congo in particular.

    The local rental place would sell posters for like 50 cents once they were done with them. I probably had 30 different movie posters on my walls throughout middle/high school.

    That is maybe my second time on bluesky. Is it all inside jokes and “epic bacon” replies? Seems miserable there

    The score might be Mann’s best film score. Just throbbing synths over sleek wet as hell environments. Read they would spray down a lot of the set before they shot stuff. Caan is electric in that film.

    I wouldn't say number one, but I watched All That Jazz for the first time recently and was very impressed. Not at all what I expected.

    Salo at number two is a choice.

    Has Cameron Crowe made a good movie since Almost Famous?

    Well yes, Vanilla Sky is fantastic. Elizabethtown is super underrated, but that's the end

    I haven't seen Vanilla Sky since I was a teen but I don't remember it being very good. I just remember that Cameron Diaz line (if you have seen it you know which line)

    Has he made a good film since Almost Famous implies that Almost Famous is good. It is not.
