tonyfranciosa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I always wondered if that was someone's collection or did everyone on set bring in their rare shit for that scene. If I remember correctly, it was someone's personal collection that they rented for use in the movie. If they were all legit, I can only imagine the insurance rider on it to ensure it was safe.

cambionic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The best scene didn't even make it into the movie: Man... I would definitely have given her $50 for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The best scene didn't even make it into the movie: I love the movie to death, but then I read the book after I saw it and was disappointed this scene didn't make the cut. Then I found it on the DVD a year or two later and was ludicrously excited. There's even another scene that is in the movie where he gets a phone call and talks to a woman (presumably the one from the cut scene) over the phone about checking out some records. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayoroftelevision Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The best scene didn't even make it into the movie: Cusack's reactions make up for the lack of narration from the book. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The book is really good. Probably better than the movie. tape, tvham, kamika215 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The book is really good. Probably better than the movie. Nick Hornby is great, his books lend themselves fantastically to movie adaptations. About a Boy is wonderful too. It's a shame they botched A Long Way Down - I think it's the only time I think I've ever been so frustrated by a movie that I've turned it off in the middle.

somethingvinyl Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Love the movie, but there's no way the soundtrack is worth half of what they're asking. 213041284s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvham Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The book is really good. Probably better than the movie. Agreed, most of Hornby's books are way better than the movie (hello, American version of Fever Pitch!) Though I thought About a Boy was probably just as good as the book.

noalarmplanet Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 As a youth I identified with John Cusak in High Fidelity because I agreed with him. As an adult I figured out why he was wrong and what the movie was really about. Ah, growing up. somethingvinyl and captainaldous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Good ol' John Cusack. He's my favorite actor that plays the same person in every film (like Adam Sandler or Bruce Willis). My favorite actor is Paul Giamatti. Not that any of that is actually relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny/embarrassing kind of relevant story relating to this movie: A few weeks ago my British Literature class started up and we were doing introductions that included our name, major, favorite movie, and something interesting about ourselves. I get really weird and can't think when put on the spot like this so I just spit out the last movie I saw in theaters (instead of saying High Fidelity) and just said "uh, I'm Brandon, I'm an english major, I'm a dad, my favorite movie is Interstellar," and everyone gave me this look like I was the biggest freak on earth. Although not as embarrassing as the season one Jesse Pinkman look-alike who said his favorite movie was 22 JUMP STREET Edit: yes, 22 Jump Street tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine saying my favorite movie was Interstellar. It was really good, but i actually like MM's Lincoln commercials slightly more.

Fowty Dollaz Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I have to go pretty generic on my favorite movie ever, but High Fidelity is up there. I guess my favorite is A Clockwork Orange because I'm still basically 12, and boobies. (also I love the fact that the entire point of the story was ruined by flawed marketing of the book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
