Notes_Norton Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 (Not really "in the movies" but on my DVD player.) Last night Leilani and I rented Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox Story, an irreverent, politically incorrect, at times tastless lampoon of both the music industry and music biopics. It was funny and over-the-top. Through the time span of the film from the 50s to present, period correct instruments were used (kudos to the research department). John C Reilly did a fine job singing and covering the styles from Johnny Cash to Roy Orbison, to Bob Dylan to Disco-Kitsch to whatever. Anyway, in the very last musical number, the guitarist had a cherry red Epiphone Casino complete with the white pickguard. And I realized that as much as I don't like the white pickup on the NAT Casino, it definitely worked on the cherry red one. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ronnie Cox shows up in 'Deliverance' playing an Epiphone acoustic. Then he gets killed. Maybe there's a lesson there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkwire Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Come on now...he didn't die because he was playing an Epiphone. He deserved to die because he was outplayed by this guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbirchett Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 In Dreamgirls, one of the guitar players played a Blues Zephyr (ES-5 clone). Seemed to fit, even though it would have had to have been a Gibson back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
