Do we know why the book had to be set in Chicago? Because it was too English?

Did you shop at Other Music?

Then you should definitely watch it.http://www.othermusicdocumentary.com/

Best thing about it is, most of it takes place inside the store. Other good thing is that any well-known people that are interviewed were all regular customers.

Finally saw this last night. I kinda avoided it as I too read the book and kinda tossed it down as I thought in the end the main character was a such dick. While I liked the music nods, I never checked out the movie.
The love story is still pretty much nerd fantasy land, but the scenes in the store and the nods to 90s Chicago was pretty fun. And the Cusacks are always fun to see act together.
Now that it 20 years on, I did think Tim Robbins character was really hilarious and kinda caught something in some hipsters of that era well. They should have somehow had a scene where it crawled across his shelves and you could see his CD collection. You know that dude would have some Rusted Root.

I haven’t seen this in several years, but seeing it as a teenager vs. seeing it mid 20’s vs. seeing it at 30 was an interesting evolution in perspective. It still remained good in my eyes but for different reasons along the course. I’m roughly the age of Cusack in the film now. Hesitant to revisit.

John Cusack was extremely well cast in this film. He is the most believable character by a long way.
