And the scene is actually pretty funny; it's just the visual isn't very pretty. Cranston is indeed hilarious. And the scene is actually pretty funny; it’s just the visual isn’t very pretty.

I could be persuaded to see this with an '80s obsessed friend, as the songs are phenomenal. Actually, the Bryan Cranston scene you mentioned actually may just be what sells me a ticket. That guy is priceless.

Where in the world do you think you spotted him? Kevin Cronin - lead singer of REO Speedwagon - also had a cameo, but I missed it. I hope you're right about the intention behind the writers' selection of certain songs. As soon as I heard "We Built This City" being sung as a rebellious anthem I thought, "Please tell me there is some irony here." DiCaprio? Where in the world do you think you spotted him?

I think you missed a few cameos. I saw Leonardo Dicaprio and *at least* one of the Ramones. I think. I wonder about some of the song choices for this movie - I have to think they were intentional: 'We Built This City' has been at the top of virtually EVERY '100 worst rock songs' list since it was released, and 'I Can't Fight this Feeling' is generally regarded as REO Speedwagon's admission that they were no longer a Rock Band (and I, for one, will never be able to hear that song again without thinking of it as an expression of bromance, thanks to this movie). Pretty sure those songs were the writers scolding *FORMER* rockers who blew it in the 80's... Dude. I think you missed a few cameos. I saw Leonardo Dicaprio and *at least* one of the Ramones.
