Joan never says either way. She also never takes me home.

Such is life.

I'll never see this movie, but on the upside, I now have Cherry Bomb caught in my head, which is never a bad thing.

Hello daddy, hello mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb!

Okay, so the lyrics aren't brilliant. But it's still awesome.

without the extra "a" in Salvador obviously...

Slaps forehead

Who exactly is this movie being made for?

And that cat from Twilight not only has huge hair, but his head is big enough to serve punch in. And he's Dali? Whaaa?

Hollywood,

Must you fuck with ALL my most cherished memories?

You must?

*sigh* Of course you must.

Carry on.

I'll admit, I watched the whole trailer waiting for a ridiculous mustache. I was only slightly disappointed at the big reveal.

i read about stewart playing jett in the commuter paper i get every morning and my first response was a semi-audible "what the fuck?"... i didn't really believe it at first because the quality of the paper isn't all that great, but apparently it's true. so seriously? stewart is just the latest in a long line of incredibly bland, moderately talented actresses whose careers are buoyed along by insipid movies that cater to really dumb tweens/teenagers.

but i do love the fact that letterman was mocking her the whole time:

"well...it looks great." he doesn't even try to hide the sarcasm.

Oh I am so in.

Also, I will star in everything and to garner publicity for the film company I will engage in a highly public relationship. Maybe I'll engage in some type of scandal. But then have a triumphant recovery, adding more interest to the brand!

Can you tell I'm in Communications?

Oh my god BWeaves, that is hilarious.

Sparkle Dali!

I can't stop laughing. New name for Patterson, 100% win.

GOD. Like anyone who would go see that movie would even KNOW who the hell Joan Jett was/is anyway. I asked my teenage daughter about it when I heard her humming "I Love Rock and Roll" and when she sang/rapped the whole thing, I discovered she only knew the main melody because of some rap song that was sampling the motherfucker.

$%&@($&@#(%T&@$)$@$T#$%&($#@&%@#($*@#$

To make matters worse, she claimed Pop-Tart or Iced Pain or whatever the fuck the rapper's name was CAME UP WITH THAT MELODY AND THAT IT'S NEW.

We had a long Come to Jesus meeting that day, which ended with me playing the actual song for her ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL VIDEO on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3T_xeoGES8

Look how badass she is, refresh your memory. I think she tripped the lady pushing the pram right before she went into the bar. I'd do her.

Just to add:

1. I think the guy she likes in the video doesn't play for her team. Wait, but maybe she likes chicks. Wait, so then she'd like him. Wait. Ok he's just a hack actor in the video, but you know he squeed about getting paid fifty bucks to mouth some words and try to look badass.

b. I love that Converse are back.

4. Note everyone's unbridled, un-self-conscious need to yell out their love for rock 'n roll. Complete with fist pumps. No irony involved.

mmmmm, hot cougars ..you say? I'm intrigued by your offerings Spambot.

Joan Jett is the one musician I've had two random encounters with. I was backstage during a Born In The USA Springsteen show with Joan Jett. She was so drugged out she kept falling off her chair. She looked like Edward Scissorhands.

Then two years ago I ran into her in a breakfast buffet line at the Hard Rock Orlando. I couldn't believe how small and frail she was.

In short, she's coasting on her bad reputation.

"She was so drugged out she kept falling off her chair..."

DUDE!, That was your chance to tap that!

As if it isn't bad enough that this mockery of Dali's life is being foisted upon us, the casting is horrendous. The trailer is worse than I could ever have imagined. My kids could likely have done a better living room production. And because of Twilight, all the teenyboppers will run to the theaters and the movie declared a success.

I second and affirm "Sparkle Dali" to be Skank-Rainbow-Cancer grade wit. Now you need to invent some sort of Pajiba Congratulatory Word Not Related to Vagooters.

(Pajiba Congratulatory Word Not In Any Way Related to Vagooters!)

Are giant latern jaws the new Jolie lips?

Interesting point, Teresa. I remember Robert Rodriguez being upset when The Mask of Zorro was cast with no Mexicans in primary roles and only one Spaniard...

Although of course that just showed he wasn't up on his history because Zorro was created by a gringo and originally played by one.

Look, I grew up in the 80s, I always looked a Joan Jett as a scary flat chested bitch that lacked talent.

I can only imagine the duct tape they are going to need to have Ms. Stewart look like her. I really hope they try to recreate the videos, can you imagine this idiot trying to snarl or wave her glove covered fist, it will become a biopic/comedy.

Mike R. I can front some hi-grade BC Bud if you guarantee those adaptations be twisted to include copious nudity, violence, and subliminal messaging to corrupt the target audiences. Of course this means you'll have to subvert the MPAA's movie rating system, but that would be part of my master plan, so I'll chip in some Canadian beer as a bonus.

Just a correction:
The Runaways were "fronted" by Cherie Currie. They were formed by Joan Jett, playing rhythm guitar, and Sandy West on drums. Lita Ford played lead guitar on most tracks. "The Runaways", their first album, is bad ass. Highly recommended.

Seriously richmac? Really? Her (lack of) chest is what you focus your hatred on?
What a tiny, tiny penis you must have.

I am also in the unpopular bracket of not hating Kristen Stewart's guts. I think she actually seems, um, smart? She couldn't hold back on her own hatred of Twilight (respect points), and I think the "annoying" and "vacant" you see comes off as "cool" and "down to earth" to me. She has nothing to talk about on Letterman cuz for her it's not a big deal and she's not off doing a bunch of crazy hollywood shit she wants to talk about. I actually think it's decent casting. And David Fincher was a music video director.

DarkHelmet, those are only par for the course. Monopoly alone would have enough of all of those elements to fulfill an afternoon of your wildest dreams.

Of course this means you'll have to subvert the MPAA's movie rating system, but that would be part of my master plan, so I'll chip in some Canadian beer as a bonus.

I forgot about the subversion of the MPAA. See, this is why I love this community! You submit the raw, unadulterated perversion and someone else is bound to supply the refined, more effective perversion out of those materials.

l take vacant, lifeless Stewart over stuck up, self important Page any day.

In keeping with the theme of this thread's discourse (and to further its chances for nomination towards the EE headline)...

"Vacant and lifeless, you say? DUDE! that was your chance to tap that!"

You were all thinking it, don't lie. Besides, Kristen Stewart is still kinda cute, and Adventureland looks like her redemption. Ellen Page, on the other hand, got it all backwards. She had the kinda cool movies first, then she made Juno and became dead to me.

DEAD! TO! ME!

I seriously don't get why people think Kristen Stewart is such a good actress. I never saw that In the Land of Women thing because it looked fucking stupid, but why do people reference Panic Room so often as some kind of evidence of her talent? All she did in that movie was wheeze and sit and wheeze and stand and wheeze and stare and wheeze and crawl. It was like the asthmatic version of Catholic Mass aerobics (minus the crawling [usually]).

I'm sure my well-documented opinion of everything involving Twilight makes me pretty biased, but I saw the Twilight movie earlier this week (illegally, for free, with my ex-boyfriend, and I was drunk as hell at the time) and it suuuuuucked. I was hoping it would be ironically funny but aside from the hilariously bad effects, there was nothing even accidentally entertaining about it. It was boring as fuck, and Stewart and Pattinson were both awful. They have terrible chemistry together (even though Pattinson's repeatedly, publicly declared that he has actual real-life feelings for Stewart) and they're both just so bland and dull. I honestly wouldn't have thought it was possible until I saw it, but Twilight the movie is even worse than the book.

Stewart's pretty, but her personality seems abominable and I've yet to witness any discernible acting skills. And Pattinson... I just don't get it. Dude looks homeless. His eyebrows are out of goddamn control, he acts like an ass and comes off as borderline retarded in interviews, and he runs around bragging about how he's too cool for basic personal hygiene. Gross.

Isn't that kinda how most things are with you?

But your turning of a phrase is irresistible as ever.

"I feel like she just wants to act in movies and then be left alone."
I completely agree.

Get me on the feeling bad for Kristin Stewart train. She's an awkward, nervous teenager who evidently likes acting, but doesn't handle PR so well. I'm not a fan of white knighting, but in her case the criticism she's getting seems very undeserved. It's mostly her ties to this dreck book/movie that have given her a bad reputation (as I see it).
A vapid, horribly annoying lantern jaw? What the fuck did she do to you guys?
And you know what? Letterman is tired.

I love Joan Jett, and unlike most of you, I'm excited for the movie. Um, not all theatrical movies are bad. Sorry, but that fact doesn't mean the movie will suck. And how is Kristen Stewart annoying? Do you know her? Do you realize that she is probably nothing like the character she plays in the movie, Twilight?

She's an indie girl, whose gotten great reviews for her acting in Into the Wild, Speak, and Panic Room. Good acting can be completely a matter of personal preference. Obviously, you can tell when there's a great actress (Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep...) and a fucking bad actress (Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus...). But the people in the middle, you have to give a chance. People thought Natalie Portman was dull and boring when she first arrived on the scene. Look at her now.

Also, Joan Jett is co-producing the movie, and she helped make the decision to cast Stewart. Obviously she thought she would do the best job. Let us have a little faith?

Who's Joan Jett?
