Heh. I just noticed something in Almost Famous, which is set in, what, the mid-'70s? Anyone else spot an anachronism here?

Aside from the late-model looking sports car parked at the bottom of the hill, it appears that Andre has a posse.

Good eye. I've watched the movie dozens of times and never picked that off.

It's weird. I've seen it a couple of times, too, and never noticed that--and then tonight WHAM, Andre was the only thing on the screen I saw. OBEY

Those red-and-white signs at lower left are part of the OBEY/ GIANT/Andre the Giant Has a Posse campaign started by Shepard Fairey, so they post-date the setting of the movie by about twenty years. :) Hey, I wonder how many movies Neck Face is in--it's gotta be a ton!

That's not an anachronism. Philip Seymour Hoffman transcends space and time.

Tell me about it. But watch Synecdoche, New York first.

I DO need a spreadsheet! If we ever get to hang out, we're gonna have to spend the whole visit watching movies.

the font on that parking sign is from the mid-to-late nineties.
