I would like to begin by saying that I am unashamedly biased when it comes to the subject matter of this film. When someone asks what kind of music I listen to the answer has been, for the last two decades, Pearl Jam, and I'm fairly confident I'm not the only one. Pearl Jam Twenty is a documentary of the band dating back to time before they were the greatest band known to man. And who's idea is this magnificent project you may ask, but none other than Cameron Crowe. He has kind of fallen off the map as of late, unless you watched Elizabethtown (God help me there isn't some underground radical Elizabethtown cult that is going to climb out from underneath their little fan club flag and tell me how bad my grammar is, or waste their time telling me how much of a waste of time I am). Crowe has made his share of incredible films though. Almost Famous is amazing, and more than a lot of people thought Jerry Maguire was pretty alright. Even the remake of Vanilla Sky wasn't all that bad, but I'm a sucker for sci-fi.
Crowe knows Music. This could very well be Crowe's 9th symphony.
Paste Magazine reported the release schedule for the film, stating that it is to be released in September to select theaters, and then in October it is going to air on PBS, so this year do something to thank public media and donate donate donate. If we are lucky the donations could lead to a public science foundation that discovers the way to reanimate Cobain's brain long enough for a conversation, which I know I have heard somewhere.

You and my brother are the last two big Pearl Jam fans.
That is hilarious.
I will watch a documentary of a rock band, when they actually pick a band with men in it.
