End of the Century

I was recently reading my brothers "Empire" magazine (Its about movies and stuff) and stumbled apon a movie called "End of the Centruy" reading more I found out its a documentry on the life of The Ramones, I don't have information on where its playing yet but i'll soon have it all...mwahahahaha

I will to hopefully it doesnt suck.

It's better than the ramones raw documentary. Actually it's the best ramones documentary that Is out their.

Sounds awesome. I'd like to see it

Out their what?

Definitely thought this would be a thread about the album, which I really wish I could find on vinyl at a reasonable price (and the cover of the Ronettes' "Baby I Love You" is such a treat) but this is also good. Carry on.

I'd watch it I suppose. The Minutemen one We Jam Econo was really good, I'm a sucker for documentaries.

I SAW the documentary. It was good. I like the filth and fury by the sex pistols much more. End of the century is the best ramones documentary out their. You are correct sir.

Well thank you. The filth and fury is a better documentary I agree with you on that one. The sex pistols are a better band than the ramones all together. The ramones brought the sound to the table. But the sex pistols attitude demolishes them.

so this is just an opinion :)

you are very wrong.....the Ramones were a thousand times better than Sex Pistols in both music, lyrics and "attitude"

in fairness Sex Pistols released one album....and it's a good one for the most part....Ramones released several albums....most of which are great albums

the whole Sex Pistols "attitude" may have started of genuine but then just became a marketing tool just like everything having to do with that band

i don't think Ramones ever wanted to be poster boys for punk rock....they were just four dorks from Queens who wanted to play rock n roll....stripped down and fast

Sex Pistols seemed to love being the poster boys for all that is punk....at least till they realized that they were being had just as much...if not more than anyone

anyways End of the Century is a damn fine documentary

Filth and the Fury is a good documentary

We Jam Econo is a phenomenal documentary...although i must admit that towards the end....when Mike Watt is driving around LA pointing out infamous spots and talking about D Boons death.....i start to loose it

I watch We Jam Econo whenever I need to feel inspired. I will meet Mike Watt one day and thank him for making me realize how amazing a bass can sound. I think he still lives down in San Pedro, not too far... one of these days...

And yeah,

I completely agree with Bob about Ramones vs Sex Pistols. The Ramones were unpretentious and fun. The Sex Pistols just wanted to scare people and take their money. Johnny was total bummer though. "God bless America and God bless George Bush." CRINGE.

Edit: I'll keep this bit brief. On topic: I loved this movie. R-A-M-O-N-E-S!

Malcolm was the worst kind of Svengali, not to mention a total perv. He actively tried convincing the girl in Bow Wow Wow that letting her bandmates take her virginity would make her a better singer.
