      If love is pain, will you still look for it?

      20120104 23, 12

      wild girl I am your cherry bomb

      If love is painful, will you still look for it?
      Maybe not in the air, but I still like it.
      After watching the escape band, there is loss, desire and sadness in my heart.
      About youth, lost faith, lost self, lost emotion, lost all kinds of lost interweaving. Young children are always vulnerable, especially growing up in

      an injured and deformed environment. There is no environment in which to grow, so they

      Rock n'roll

      I've been looking for rock music for a while and don't know why. There should be two periods, one is after reading an article in high school, and yearning for the decadent but tense life mentioned in the article; the other is when I was in the first semester of college, it seemed that I was very annoying at that time. I feel like my life is depressing and I need an outlet, so I want to find some loud music to listen to (sorry for calling rock and roll loud music). In fact, I don't know which...

      Talk about madness and great ideals

      Great ideals don't always come to great people, but they must come to crazy people. But madness can also be divided into inner madness and madness ignited by ideals. The latter dares to break the shackles, while the former always has genes that break everything in its bones. In this film about the first all-girl rock band, two kinds of madness drive the same great ideal.
        You have to be proud enough in your eyes to be worthy of the middle finger of the vertical world. Cherie's madness...

      rock music, nothing to do with escape

      After watching the movie and movie reviews, I have an opinion on the word escape. After all, this is a work with rock music as the theme, but unfortunately the director wanted to express everything but failed to express it well.
      Let's talk about escape. Cherie finally returns to a normal life and it has nothing to do with escape or not. Cherie is just a girl who is not happy enough in life. Her understanding of rock music is far inferior to that of Joan, or she doesn't love rock at all....

      Remember to wear a leather jacket when you're crazy

      I'm addicted, my hair is getting greasy, my clothes are getting crazy, my behavior is getting crazy, my throat is getting restless, I want to say that I really like this movie, the songs in it are powerful, Hollywood, The Wild One, California Paradise, Queens Of Noise, I Wanna Be Where The Boys Are, CHERRY BOMB especially, the LIVE scene is my favorite scene, the two girls will definitely be compared, I like Joan Jett, from dressing to acting, Chris Ting Stewart looks more and more cool, she is...

    Evaluation action

    "The Runaways" shows this far-reaching all-girl band with noisy sound and electronic aesthetics   . The film’s performance capabilities are excellent, as well as its publicity and promotion capabilities. The film uses a lot of music and visual effects to cover the story of the entire movie. Although the film is adapted from autobiography, the adaptation is not exhaustive. It is more a high-level summary of the rise and fall of The...

    Movie quotes

    • Cherie Currie: Hi, Daddy.

      Cherie's Dad: Hi, Kitten.

      Cherie Currie: We have money, okay? You have money. We're gonna be fine.

    • Cherie Currie: What the fuck is this?

      Sandy West: That was pretty nasty, Kim.

      Kim Fowley: That - is what we call controversy. That - is what we call publicity. That - is what we call a juicy story. And you're welcome. Because of me, that piece is twice as long and half of it is about you! This is press, my budding young starlet - not prestige. Get used to it. Now get in the booth and finish the song. I got this place on lock-out and I'm paying through the fucking nose. So let's go, let's go. Sing. Sing!

      Cherie Currie: No.

      Kim Fowley: No?

      Joan Jett: Come on, Cherie, let's just finish and go home.

      Lita Ford: Yeah, get in the booth, Cherie.

      Joan Jett: Shut the fuck up, Lita. Shut the fuck up!

      Lita Ford: You shut up.

      Cherie Currie: I'm not singing.

      Kim Fowley: Of course you're singing. You're a singer, Cherie! That's what you do. You sing and you strut around in your underwear. You do what I tell you to do. And right now, I'm telling you to get in the booth. So get in the booth.

      Cherie Currie: No.

      Kim Fowley: Mm. Get in the booth, Cherie.

      Cherie Currie: No.

      Kim Fowley: Get in the booth.

      Cherie Currie: No.

      Kim Fowley: Get in the booth before I lose my patience and send you back where I rescued you from.

      Cherie Currie: Good! Send me back, I don't give a shit! I wanna go back!

      Kim Fowley: Careful... Get in the booth.

      Cherie Currie: No!

      Kim Fowley: Get in the booth!

      Cherie Currie: No! I'm not gonna be your little lap dog anymore! You've been speaking for me this whole time! You get in the fucking booth! I'm done!

    • Kim Fowley: [to the girls] You dog cunts will be lucky getting your next gig singing in the fucking shower.
