At least Brendan O'Brien once had a hand in making some pretty good records, every Cameron Crowe film I've seen has been
terrible .

Singles is a (Pearl Jam) classic. Say Anything is also well worth watching,

I'd need to see it again (not very likely) to give a more nuanced critique but it always really rubbed me up the wrong way, I think I felt as though Crowe was enthusiastically glorifying the most childish and cliched aspects of rock music.

Say Anything is outstanding. Almost Famous is wonderful. Vanilla Sky is great. Singles is a lot of fun. Jerry Maguire hasn't aged as well, but it's got some great scenes/performances.
And I fucking loved PJ20, too. I'm not afraid to say it.
So, yeah, I like Cameron Crowe.

I would like Cameron Crowe and all his manic pixie dreamgirls and all his stiff, boring male leads to be put in a thunderdome and forced to fight to the death.

I also think PJ20 pretty much killed any remaining interest I had in the band, so... good job, Cameron?
