“Untitled” DVD Review Premier Magazine This piece was done for a review of the Cameron Crowe director’s cut of “Almost Famous.” The movie loosely chronicles Crowe’s life as a 14-year-old reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine. “Untitled ” spent much more time with its teenaged protagonist than “Almost Famous” and included more sex and drugs and (most importantly) more of Seymour Phillip Hoffman channeling the rock critic, Lester Bangs. In the painting, I tried to capture a sense of someone being woken up out of an ether dream by insanely loud music— probably Zeppelin’s, “Moby Dick.” The greatest part of the DVD release is the full-length commentary by Crowe and his mother.
