So I stopped my daughter as she was rushing out the door to school today, just to make her read this quick movie review because I thought it really captures the essence of Joe Strummer and to get jazzed to see this film. It won't take much, though. She's been a fan (all on her own) since she was little. The kid's got taste.

Can't wait to see it.

    I'm a bit offended by the Sex Pistols bit though. 'Still embarrassing themselves'. :mad:

    I remember rushing down to soho after work to see this when it came out in England. It has to be seen in the cinema. Can't stress that enough. It's a beautiful film!

    Hoping to see it this week. I've heard it's really balanced and well done.

    Fantastic piece of film.
    It is also crazy to hear how much Johnny Depp sounds/talks like Ed Vedder. Their voices are identical.

    Great film! I just bought the DVD yesterday.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
