CBGBs Movie
Anyone who actually hung out at CBGBs ,is not pleased with this movie .
All of us are just tilting out heads and going,WTF .
I had no idea Johnny Galeki had been cast . I like him .Never heard of most of the rest of them .
See sad thing is,the band's that came out of CBs at the beginning,did not hang out together a lot.
Television didn't hang out with The Ramones . Blondie didn't really hang out with Iggy.
The Police certainly didn't hang out with Patti Smith ,or Glenn Danzig
I mean sure,they knew one another in passing ,but most of them had their own inner circle ,and the band's they did hang out with ,have been completely ignored .
How it really all went down,will not be demonstrated by this movie ,is our feeling .
Small bands were all over this scene,and in some cases ,an intricate part .
Bands like Shrapnel,The Rattlers,The Speedies ,The Colors ,The Brats,The Misfits ,The Fast ,god..so many ....
Tip of the iceberg .
Also ,it was filmed on a movie set like down in North Carolina or something .
Most of us are just saying *foul*
Rolling our eyes . How can you capture the mood of the Bowrey ,outside of NYC ?

I dont know where EV gets their photos ,but no one else has them.
The comments here are very telling.
Richard Hell said he wasnt contacted at all,but the movie people claim they tried to speak to as many people who were actually there,as possible .
Where ?
I didn't see anyone cast as Arturo Vega ,that's for sure...

The Ramones parts will be hard for me to watch though....
*sighs*
Edit :
I found another link.
None of us get this Genya Raven thing.
She was not around a lot,and not a big deal .
