This is an excellent movie. I was never really into the Band, but under Scorsese's lens they look and sound great. (Realizing there were major overdubs was a minor disappointment, and Marty's not the best interviewer, but whatever.) Lots of special guests - including Ringo on second drumset - make for a good show. I've heard from more than one source how Robbie Robertson hijacked the whole production and that no one else in the band was interested in the movie or in splitting up at all. Very interesting since he never sang any prominent vocals on any of their songs, but he was one of the primary songwriters.

Also, my hair is finally past the awkward stage between short and long where it just looks terrible all the time. I'm very happy about that.
