Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains - 1982 / 2008 - 5/10
Obscure punk flick that played in a few theaters, then disappeared until 2008.
Young Diane Lane leads the Stains, a punk girl group, with Laura Dern.
The group begins ragged (not exactly the Runaways), improves as they lose credence, wind up glossy MTV icons.
A fading, headlining 60's group features Fee Waybill (The Tubes).
A rival opening act has Paul Cook & Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), and Paul Simonon (Clash).
Not a bad movie, though the background story of the film itself is far more compelling.
