Go and see the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. It came out yesterday, and Tennessee Thomas (drummer of The Like) and Jason Schwartzman (Coconut Records, former drummer of Phantom Planet and Ben Lee) are in the film.
Tennessee appears briefly in the middle of the film as Lynette Guycott, the drummer of a rival band and Jason plays the evil Gideon Graves towards the end of the film.
