    I read a few articles about the movie...basically most of the liberties come from the fact that it is Cherrie Currie's book which tweaks the story. Joan Jett (who produced the movie I believe) said when they sent her a tape of Kristen Stewart singing she called them confused wondering why they sent her a tape of herself. That is pretty good praise for Stewart.

    I plan to Netflix it.

              We watched Edgeplay yesterday, and I also took a tour of the former members' various blogs. My entirely unscientific summary, in order of most to least ****ed up:

              Sandy West is dead, and it's hard to get more ****ed up than that. Alive, she was by turns an addict, a pathological liar, and a criminal (she was, no joke, muscle in an extortion ring).

              Cherie Currie is delusional and a completely untrustworthy narrator, mostly because of drug abuse but also because of various forms of abuse that have in turn, as is usual, turned her into a abusive personality herself.

              Jackie Fox is probably a hypochondriac but she did pull it together, getting a law degree (Harvard will take anybody with a funny admission essay) which isn't that impressive but also a dual minor in linguistics and computing from UCLA, which is. She refused to sell the rights to her name for the movie.

              Lita Ford is a tough, tough woman who carved out a decent career as a metal goddess.

              Vicky Blue has a nose for a good business opportunity and has managed to make money off the whole deal.

              Joan Jett is a precision-engineered high tech corporation that's churned out various successful products, one of which was Youth in Revolt.

                One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Hadn't watched more than bits or pieces for 20 years. Loved it as much as I did then!

                  On that same sort of nostalgic thought:

                  "What's in the booooox????? C'monnnnnn!"

                  Still awesome, suspenseful, and genius.

                    It's also interesting to note (don't know if this is brought up in the documentary) how many "American" brewing companies are actually owned by foreign companies. I think that's why Bud is no longer mentioned in their ads as "a great American lager"; it's now the "great American-style lager."

Thought Alice was really really good - though I didn't like Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. I can't decide if it's the way the character was written, Hathaway's mannerisms, or her dâmned eyebrows, but something just seemed not quite right. I did enjoy the way they did the Cheshire Cat and the twins.

                      Okay, I'll admit it. I enjoyed Julie & Julia quite a bit.

                        "Dolemite."

                        Nope, don't have the words. You just have to see it. Unreal.

                            I have to admit, I didn't like it as much as "Black Belt Jones."

                            1. The main characters were on par with each other, as well as the stories.
                            2. However, the "interludes" (*cough* space fillers *cough*) were less entertaining in "Dolemite." (the love scenes, and especially the music parts/club show towards the end of the movie)

                            I will obviously say that the ODB "Baby Got Your Money" video reached a new level of appreciation.

                              Dolemite was a hero to guys like ODB and Snoop Dogg and countless others. A kung-fu pimp? Yeah, that'll work for the rapper set. Dolemite gets knocked down because it feels like it's way too long of a movie. It's 90 minutes that feels twice as long.

                                That is a good way of putting it.

                                But, if you want to explore this genre, this is a must see.
