Just in case you missed it...
...when watching High Fidelity the first time around. Don't think anybody's mentioned this spotto before...
I remember reading somewhere about how John Cusack set up the record store down to the last little sticker on the wall. The records you see on screen are placed there because John Cusack wants you to see them. Probably 2% of the people who saw the movie knew the covers, and I feel like it's John Cusack's own little nod to all us "fucked up children".
i think that it's interesting that in the book he's into his blues etc but in the film he's into post punk/velvets kind of thing

yeah. cusack really brings the character to life. it was my first exposure to hornby and i've loved other ones of his books that i've read. some slate the film but i for one enjoyed nearly as much as the book.Fuzzhead wrote:I've not seen this film. Is it worth watching?

funny how they picked the stereolab side project (turn on) for this shot as well... it's the yellow one behind the traffic LP. I remember watching this moving saying "got that one...want that one...". etc. The major disappointment I had in the movie was that the cut the scene with Beverly D'Angelo who played the spurned wife selling her cheating husband's collection which was my most memorable moment of the book. I'm sure that fear will keep many of us on the straight and narrow in all of our cohabitual relationships.

Love it. Thanks for the link. I've only seen the film a couple of times and never noticed PP.
Great script.

Is that Pretzel Logic next to the Stereolab lp?
