I think the dynamic of having the guitar player overshadow the lead singer in a group that hasn't hit it "BIG TIME" yet was important. The movie was about the Kid reporter, his mom, the Groupie leader (Goldie Hawn JR) and the "good looking" guitar player. The movie would have been 4 hours long if they gave Jason Lee enough room to perform like he could. Jason Lee can steal the show from just about anyone in a movie.
Just wondering was the Jason Lee singing? He sounds pretty cool if it was him!
Stillwater rules!
: I thought jason was okay, but they really didn't seem to give him much to do...I think he has alot of potential as a leading man, but would really like to see him break out of the "pissed off sarcastic guy" typecast.
: case in point, one of my favorite spots in Chasing Amy is when he walks in on Affleck after the breakup scene...i've only seen a few of his parts, mainly the VA flicks, and the film he did with David Schwimmerwhatever, can anyone point me to other work he's done?
