*some of that*

dammit

I hate myself for loving this.

Right now it just looks like Kristen Stewart with black hair, I'd have to see how she is in the film. I don't mind her though, she is a decent actress. Twilight aside, she just seems full of tics in that film.

She's pretty good in The Messengers, as well. Lots of potential in the film. Stupid CGI-based studio meddling ruining a perfectly good Pang Brothers psychological ghost story with horrible, horrible crows.

God, she looks fantastic, it's just right. Plus, her weird spaced out goofiness will probably suit the part, since she always seems like she's on drugs as it is.

The pants seem all wrong. We wore jeans over our navels back when Joan Jett was new. Other than that, far out.

Word, BWeaves.

I'm surprised she was let off of the Meyer compound to film this. I thought she was indentured until Breaking Dawn was finished filming, at which point she'd be eliminated/brainwashed into the family.

She's a wasteoid and way overrated.

Chuck her in the Natasha Lyonne pile.

She's nowhere near as good looking as Joan Jett and Bad Reputation and Hate Myself run in "heavy rotation" on Youtube a quarter of a century later so the memory of her as THE punk princess hasn't exactly dimmed. I wonder how they're going to deal with the lezbo aspect because Jett has never come out even though she is usually described as openly lezbo and plays Dinah Shore week in Palm Springs.

Okay, I'll concede on the pictures looking good thus far, but she'd better bring a whole lot of kickass to the part.

Stewart is nowhere NEAR as good looking as Joan Jett NOW, and she sure as shit can't hold a candle to the young Joan Jett. I also haven't seen Stewart do anything other than "petulant," so I'm skeptical she can channel Jett.

You forgot to mention (or perhaps were unaware) that DAKOTA FUCKING FANNING is set to play Cherrie Currie.

I mean, give me a goddamn break. How the hell would she even begin to know how to play someone as bad-ass and fucked up as Currie? How will she prepare, hire a crab-wrangler? Has the little creep even seen "Foxes?"

BAH.

Haha, I kind of love her. She's completely fucking embarrassed to be part of the Twilight phenomenon, and every time she's forced to speak about it I get the feeling that she's THIS close to apologizing. One day, 20 years from now, she will. And I will love her even more.

She kind of looks the part, but I feel like this should have been done a few years ago with Jolie.

Hey who's playing Lita Ford?

I almost like Kristen Stewart just for her general disdain towards the 'Twilight' movies and if she can channel even some of Joan's character and general bad-assedness, I'm prepared to actually appreciate her.
Now, go forth young Pajibans and listen to Joan and the Blackhearts burn down Iggy's "I Wanna Be Your Dog". Be healed by her greatness.

Okay, Lainey, we exaggerate. Stewart won't openly bite the hand that is feeding her. She has let it leak that she'd like to be taken a bit more seriously as an actress and is being given the opportunity to prove herself.
Heigl takes a lot of crap for speaking her mind (which is wrong) but takes the crap for speaking her mind in ways that seem to diminish the accomplishments of those around her (which is just and good).
May I mention that Heigl has yet to prove herself as an actress OR a box-office draw?
Now, may I mention I'd love 'em both, real hard?

I'm just not sure that anyone... male or female... has a nose quite like Joan's.

Gotta say, before I clicked on the link from the homepage, I thought this was gonna be something about that Adam kid from that idol show. These pics look like him, rather than Joan.

"I'm not a Heigl fan..."

Hmmmmmm, could have fooled me...

Oh, Slim, you big crabbypants - everything's not black & white in my world. I can dislike a person and still be able to recognize when they're being given shit & someone else is given a pass for the same type of thing.

And for the record, I don't even agree with Heigl. I think she and Stewart both act like spoiled children (and Stewart acts like a stoned, spoiled child) who haven't figured out that publicly biting the hand that feeds you isn't the smartest career move. Spender, I get your point and honestly, I don't disagree with what you're saying. However, I wouldn't credit Stewart with being a box-office draw so much as Twilight was the draw, regardless of who played the vapid Bella.

Get outta' my head! Yep, that's exactly what I was saying.

I heard Kristen Stewart can DO THE SPLITS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FLOOR!!

Your previous missive on the Runaways pic told me a lot. You say they were the first all-girl rock band? Don't let the members of Fanny or Isis hear you say that, or you may have one or two less fingers to type with.

You also didn't know Lita Ford was in the band, which any Wikipedia search would have told you (or, God forbid, the actual Runaways homepage!). And Carmen Elektra plays a bisexual in Joan Jett's last video, which is not real life, so the "she's her girlfriend?" thing was way weak.

Add that to whining about Kristen Stewart's casting and judging her acting talent from one film (which was also acting) and a couple of interviews (which were, um, not), and I wonder if you even know what a film is. Research much? At least you knew The Runaways were a band and not a pack of homeless kids.

I realize that those who can't do usually criticize those who can as a defense mechanism, but please write about what you know next time. You know, like really bad blogs.
