    Hollywood star Nicolas Cage and a crew packed with Minnesota talent are wrapping up work on the apocalyptic thriller “Parish” on a farm outside Stillwater. Besides the thrill of hosting Hollywood, supporters of Minnesota's film industry say it's good business.

    Was just reminiscing with some highschool friends about seeing Tarzan w/Bo Derek at the Hilltop drive-in on the other side of the river from Stillwater. It was during an April snowstorm. Still remember the eating the banana scene. Might have to watch this bad movie again just for old time's sake.

    The band Stillwater in the film ‘Almost Famous’ is so plausible that they could just have Peter Frampton write a few songs for them and we believe that of course they have fans who also catch Led Zeppelin on tour. But if Bowie & Iggy not exist, ‘Velvet Goldmine’ would not fly.

  • Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.socialBluesky · Apr 23, 2025

    Stillwater isn’t supposed to be that good, which helps it work. “Fever Dog” could be on the radio in the 1970s. But if the movie tried to say Stillwater was the next Led Zeppelin, the audience wouldn’t buy it.

  • thisbenzingring @[email protected]Lemmy · Sep 24, 2024

    Good movie, but it's been a while since I saw it last. Cameron Crowe's teenager experience made into film. Probably a lot of half truths with a bunch of real stuff mixed in. The Stillwater band is totally the Allman Brothers Band and most of that pairs up.

    Just watched a film called Stillwater on Channel 4 & really enjoyed it. A widower from Oklahoma travels to Marseille to see his daughter who's in prison & tries to help her get out. He ends up staying for months & gets into some trouble. Brilliantly done & you can smell Marseille, it's very real.

    At 12 pm today on the Syfy channel, they are airing the movie "Stillwater." Because, when I think of the Syfy channel, the first thing I think of is Matt Damon playing an oil rig worker from Oklahoma that travels to France to clear his daughter of an Amanda Knox-style murder.

    Nick Cage is filming a post apocalyptic film in Stillwater and I’d suggest - if anything - Stillwater best represents a pre apocalyptic society - on the bleeding edge of- and emblematic of why society gets apocalipted.

    The thing I've never quite gotten abt that movie is that it's based on Crowe's early life, and the specific band most similar to Stillwater was The Allman Bros—but Stillwater isn't supposed to be remotely that good or successful. He didn't hang w/ mediocrities IRL, so why in the movie?
