@@elengariepy4686 That is a different movie and played by Judi Dench

While she has a lot more chemistry with Guy, she was destined to be with Guy eventually.

same guy who played Sanders (camper driver) in Twister.

all of Lenny's lines are the funniest lines.

@@killingmewillnotbringbacky9177 lol

Especially the part where Faye hears the song on the radio for the first time while mailing letters. She stops with the stamp stuck on her tongue, then runs off, forgetting to mail the letters, runs back, shoves them in the mailbox and takes off down the street screaming. She happens to run by the Bass Player and tells him what station to turn to then he takes off running with her all the way to Guy’s father’s store. It’s funny when the Bass Player stops, in all his excitement, to wipe his feet at the door. Jimmy and Lenny just park their car in the middle of the street and leap out, then run into the store where they begin to turn every radio in the store to that station. It was so well done, the way the music starts through a high pass filter, to give it that transistor radio sound, but as each nicer stereo system comes on, the bass becomes richer and richer until that real nice high fidelity stereo fills the whole store with the music, but not until T.B. Player slaps it a few times. (T.B.Player is actually how “The Bass Player” is listed in the credits). Hanks never gave him a name in the script. The Old Man starts bitching at all of his friends. “Son, you wanna get your cotton-picking mitts off of that..”. My favorite is, “Put that Dow! That is a very expensive floor display!” which is a cardboard cut-out of some lady that is very, very 1960s looking, but she was the only thing Lenny could find to kiss. I thought he was going to kiss that girl, who might be Guy’s sister or cousin or some relative. IDK, she may just be an employee, but I know he doesn’t pay her. When Guy left to go on tour, the father promoted her to Guy’s position and she said, “does this mean I get paid?”, and he said “no!”, so I figured she must be a relative. Anyway, that is a great scene of many in this charming film. Hanks did a hell of a job on this movie. Just a great story about characters who would never hang together if it wasn’t for the one common thread, their music. It was a quite genius plot thread that Guy decided to speed up the song, during a live performance! Luckily, it paid off for him. Jimmy finally agreed that it was better fast at the end of the scene in the store, where they hear it on the radio for the first time. It’s easy to miss, but he does say “you were right, I knew it all along” as they’re dancing around the center display in his father’s store.

You obviously were the cool teacher everyone hoped to have.❤Anyone who could watch this movie multiple times & never tire of it...that's cool in my book!!😂

BrianMChampion That's so cool! What kind of music did you play? Were you pretty good? I love music that started at home. ^_^ I bet the acoustics were phenomenal, huh?

No. We don't want to hear that.

Those are priceless

Churches are built ideally for acoustics....ideal place to record.

Dude , put them on RU-vid!

It's not his tempo.

😄

In the scene where they hear their song on the radio for the first time, and all wind up at the store, Jimmy says to Guy as they're jumping in a circle. "You were right! I knew it the whole time!" Jimmy is as big of a tool as they come.

*”its a ballad”*

@@anickwynnproduction yes, I was going to say the same thing, but I saw your comment. It’s easy to miss. I think I saw this about 5 times before I heard Jimmy saying that to Guy. Like he knew it the whole time, yeah, get real Jimmy. I noticed it because he was pointing his finger right in Guy’s face as they’re dancing around. Then I listen close to what he was saying and it was there. “You were right! I knew it!”. The end part of this scene was not in the original edit of the movie. It makes more sense with this scene, because later, he bitches to Mr. White about only getting one take for ,”All My Only Dreams” and wants Playtone to foot the bill to record another take, even though it’s the B side of the record, so no one cares but Jimmy. That must have been the “Lovers Lament Crap” that Mr White said, “no more to” when they finally got in the studio? You can tell here that “All My Only Dreams” was more important to Jimmy than their hit song. The funny thing is, right before the credits, it says that Jimmy had more hits for Playtone Records and became a record producer. Two of the songs he made for Playtone play during the credits. His band’s name was “The Heardsman”, one of the stupid names he suggested before they settled on the “O-Neaders”. At least it wasn’t the “Chord-vettes”.

AS will live forever, in the hearts of so many.

Wow. SO sorry to hear of this. I sincerely hope he was, John 3:3 ...

@David Don Wtf?

@David Don The fuck are you on about?

@David Don Huh?

Amen to that ...

Wait, I thought Trump said COVID-19 was fake news.

@@steviesevieria1868 it isn’t. He was talking out of his ass that time

Dentist-Little shop of horrors

To be fair, Guy has better chemistry with EVERYONE than Jimmy does.

@@cirrustate8674 that's true. He didn't get the nickname Jimmy the Load by accident. Guys got the charisma of a shit smeared brick. Meanwhile Guy's got buckets of charm spilling out of his ass every second of the day.

"Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight."

JPitman86 Yes! That’s it! Thank You for clarifying that for me? -Terri Kendall ❤️

So, Floyd is male relative of yours...?

As a man, I know I would have given HER NOTHING to have shame or regret for ... gracious. What a honey ...

Floyd Kendall that and the fact that when I ask her when’s the last time she was really decently kissed she mentioned New Year’s Eve which would’ve been about a couple weeks before her and jimmy started dating.

Well they were both born with innate musicality, right?

ill tell you as a long time guitarist and musician, nothing triggers me more than hearing plebs fucking clap off beat during a swingin song

Yup. And Chris Isaak, too.

No wonded the guy clapping with Liv looked sa familiar! Chris Isaak!

@@a7xguitar666 LMFAO back when I used to be a church going man, we would regularly have people who would miss beats while clapping to more upbeat church songs.i was one of them haha

He also went to Epstein island hahahaha crazy, right ?

@@BeepbopbohYou probably don’t know anything about who went to Epstein’s island because your podcasts and memes were just lashing out in anger.

Literally every line he says is funny except "We need you, Skitch."

Yes, he is. Good catch.

Steve Zahn is always good, and seems like a really cool guy.

Who's Chad? Chad?

Love it when he calls guy sketch!

Awesome, which part?

It's only positive experiences I come to read about this production, I'm so glad everyone had so much fun... do you remember which scene where you working in?

That was great. European art directors kill for moments like that

Wow I NEVER noticed. Helps make it more authentic lol

More realistic.

It’s also ends up being a nice character detail. Faye pays attention to others and what’s going on around her and Jimmy is single-minded in pursuit of his goal.

Wait, that wasn't supposed to happen? That's really funny that they kept that in.

@TralfazConstruction What a strange coincidence that you would mention the date you saw this movie, 10-5-96...That was my 36th birthday.

oldies geek Why is that a strange coincidence?

@@oldiesgeek454 Happy belated birthday. You're now more than halfway to your next birthday. The date has remained in memory for seeing the movie with my wife and for having been fishing in upstate Pennsylvania twenty-four hours prior. The big event was the movie and it helps to triangulate other goings-on in the timeframe. Best wishes!

@@TralfazConstruction Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. 😊

As a theater kid, I can attest to this

Do you just copy and paste this everywhere?

That unknown actor and wanna be bass player is nothing like George

@@SpaceAce1993umm…nah. His name is Ethan Embry, and he was in some prettt good movies in the 90’s. Mostly known for “Can’t hardly wait” which was a fairly big movie when it came out. Nonetheless, honestly no need to be ignorant about him. Almost like the guy pissed in your cheerios or something. Did he hurt you? 😂

@@christopherkimber7679 shut up

@@prilljazzatlanta5070 he does

Hey, that's Aw-Ned-ders

I see what you did there... *wink wink*

That’s wicked!

Yea,and she doesn’t come off like the usual stuck on herself Hollywood type chick. Seems like a real down to Earth girl. I fall in love with her in almost every film I’ve seen her in....especially this one.❤️❤️❤️

Chris Isaak is tha' Man !!

It's one of my favorite movies to quote...and I do, all the time!! ^_^ "Do you know what this is?" "Presidential flash cards?"

What's really funny about that is Steve Zahn's real life dad is a Lutheran minister. 🙂

I wonder why they cut that out, it shows Jimmy's control freak tendencies starting to emerge

Thanks! Was wondering why I didn't remember that part in this scene. Guess I never saw the extended DVD version

Yeah, I knew it wasn’t in the original cut, or I would have remembered that. It would have made the scene where Jimmy asks Mr. White if they can have another take of the B side, “All My Only Dreams”. He said here he could do it in one take, but later on, he still wants another take. I think that song was the kind of “Lover’s Lament crap” that Mr. White said he wanted no more of in the studio, right before Jimmy walks out. It funny because Mr. White acts like if Jimmy walks out, his music career will be over, but in the end, it says that Jimmy went on to make several hits for Playtone and become a record producer. Two of the songs he did with his group, the Heardsman (he just had to have some name spelled wrong for the sake of some puzzle, like the “O-needers ” or the “Chord-vettes” or the “Heardsman”, which he finally got to do.

@@RoarOfWolverine Oneders

@@steviesevieria1868 everyone kept pronouncing it like, “the o-needers”. I think that was the first thing Lenny said when Jimmy showed it written out. Lenny said, “yeah, it looks like the O-needers.”. When Villipiano called them the “O-needers”, Lenny corrected him and said, “it’s the O-Enders”, as in the O-ned-ers. It was very confusing until they went with just “The Wonders”, as in, “I wonder what happened to the O-needers?

Hell yes.

Agreeeeed

Phenomenally.

I one time passed her by in the West Village in NYC and she was standing on the street with no makeup. Honestly man, she was stunning. A natural beauty. She smiled at my wife and I as we walked by.

Not really

I’m gonna win that blue ribbon!

It's from the Directors Cut.

It was actually Adam Schlesinger (bass player for Fountains of Wayne) and Jody Porter (the guitar player from Fountains of Wayne), but Jody didn't approve the submission of the song and was not credited.

I've never seen it.

tony wilson don’t forget piper pop royalty, Mike Viola. Check out his solo stuff

Me too!! "Do you know what this is?" "Presidential flash cards?" My brain tells me to love Skitch Patterson but my heart and laughter is all for Lenny... ^_^

Yes Sir

Yeppers

I just realized that right now and I’ve seen this movie countless times lol

@@07foxmulder Same here. I had no idea until this clip and the comments.

Of course it is. Who else WOULD you get to play Uncle Bob.

yup director's cut version here presumably it was included in da DVD.

Ok I was wondering. I’m only familiar with the shorter version. I was scratching my head like “I don’t remember this!”

Personally I think the editing was perfect. I liked the transition after "Wednesday." The movie just flowed so much better without the director's cut.

I love the 2.5hr cut of this movie.

The Dark Knight In the movie, when Mr. White asks for the tapes from the church recording, Jimmy states that they were only able to do one take for the B side and asked if it could be done, again. Mr. White says that it’s fine just the way it is. That B side single take must have been killing Jimmy.

Did table 19 get their order?? 😂😂😂

Agreeing, it's just a couple bpm too fast.

As I understand it, Hanks actually had them learn to play the songs on their respective instruments. Liv Tyler even said that they could have went out and played as The Wonders live.

@@davegarrett231 they actually have performed live
