The Runaways
« on: March 14, 2010, 09:25:37 AM »
The movie looks pretty cool. I love seventies era type movies though. I know nothing about the band. Other than three of the members it spawned. I wonder how accurate it's gonna be. Looks a bit romanticized. Good casting though. Although Kristen Stewart is not nearly as beautiful as Joan Jett was. Anyone know anything about them?

I'm more of a Joan Jett solo fan than a Runaways fan, but their first album is pretty good. Plus, you have to admire them for breaking a lot of boundaries as an all-girl rock band.

All I remember about them is that Cherie Currie was in the movie Foxes with Jodie Foster. In the previews it makes it look like they were huge, but I have a feeling no one even knew who they were! Plus, they seemed to be just a cover band. Either way, I love seventies era movies based on a true event. Even though it will most likely be greatly spinned to Joan Jett's side. They're even starting to play her on the radio again. Heard this today after I don't know HOW long:

Joan Jett - I Love Rock And Roll


Remember how obsessed everyone was this when it first came out? Weird.

Like this one too. But still, all covers!

Cherie Currie was so pretty in the movie Foxes, I always thought.

I rarely venture out to the theatres anymore for movies, but if I have a chance to go, I'd like the see The Runaways.

Yeah, about the only part of the movie I remember is when she o.d's. I should rent it.
