It's a brilliant film, and you completely get caught up in it. One of Tom Hanks' best, and the inspiration for his Play-Tone label/company.<br /><br />An interesting note about this film, is that the title track, a fictional top-ten single by a fictional band, actually charted in real life ... life imitating art.

Of course, I feel a certain kinship with it; this film hit theaters just as I was really starting to play guitar, so of course I picked up and learned the title song immediately. It's incredible how nuts a crowd goes when you start playing it.<br /><br />And I was thinking about cosplaying as Guy Patterson for this year's New York Comic Con. I may well have to go through with that. Not exactly a comic book character, but way cooler than about ninety percent of them...J. Rabbittehttp://jimmyrabbitte.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
