Now THAT was a good movie. Have you seen it?

I have NO interest in a movie about The Runaways. If they were as successful as a couple of you think, they probably wouldn't have broken up so soon.

I don't think you even read our posts. Oh well.

I have seen The Fabulous Stains, it's a great movie (and about a fictitious band). Interestingly though it was not a hit at the time (Paramount were disappointed with reactions to test screenings and only released it at a few arthouse cinemas) and only achieved cult status over the years thanks to late night showings on TV.
Proving the point that something doesn't have to be commercially successful to be worthy or good.

Btw, there's quite a few great bands that had short careers, Cream is the first one that comes to mind.
