As a aspiring journalist, pessimistic by choice I say that 'Almost Famous' radiates an unrealistic optimism I loathe, I only hope nobody falls for Crowe' idealistic reality; it is exactly what its meant to be: a rock fans wet dream, and there's a place for that, but as it stands I can't stand it.

Points for a good soundtrack, mainly for Cat Stevens and the uttering of "Bob Dylan" though.

Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes They are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York

I want to wake up in a city That never sleeps And find I'm king of the hill Top of the heap

These small town blues They are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York

If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere It's up to you New York, New York

New York, New York I want to wake up in a city That doesn't sleep And find that I'm number one Top of the list Head of the heap King of the hill

These little town blues They've all melted away I'm gonna make a brand new start of it In old New York

And If I can make it there I'll make it practically anywhere It's up to you New York, New York New York.

This, this is inspiring! A human at his peak, mentally, physically and emotionally perfect. It's impossible to capture how gnarly this one is on film. To climb K2 and return is a feat in itself (25% of people who attempt to do so die), to spend as long as Bargiel does in the death zone is inhuman, and then to ski down slushy never-before-skied snow... Absolutely out of it!
