No because this video reminded me how I used to shoplift when I was 14 while listening to dead end justice thinking how cool I am and just like them I'm deeply embarrassed now but on the back of my head still thinking I was a little bit cool
I was 15 when this movie came out and had the biggest crush on Kristen Stewart so of course I wanted to see The Runaways in theater! But it was limited release and the movie wasn’t playing were I lived, so I planned a trip with my mom to New York solely to see this movie 😂 I went with my mom, her boyfriend, and my best friend to New York for the day and we found a theater that was playing it. Since it was rated R, my mom bought the tickets for me and my friend to go. Her and her bf didn’t really care to see it, so they went off to do their own thing. Then the movie theater staff followed us in and said we weren’t allowed to see the movie without an adult because it was rated R, and we were like wtf my mom bought the tickets, of course we have permission, but they said the adult had to be in the theater with us. So I called my mom and she came back and bought a ticket for herself, came in with us, and then left like ten minutes later. The theater staff came back in AGAIN and said they saw my mom leave, and kicked us out 😭 I didn’t get to see the movie until I got the DVD months later lol
HELLO! I am a 13 year old guitarist and runaways fan(I’m in their top 10 listeners on Apple Music). I love your videos and I love how you made a video about this movie. AND THANK YOU FOR NOT SHITTING ON LITA THAT MUCH 😭😭 yes, I cannot defend Miss Ford about EVERYTHING but I really don’t like when people call her homophobic or mean without doing their research(she’s also my favorite guitarist). Also, thank you for addressing Cherie Currie’s transphobia and Joan Jett’s response towards Jackie’s assault. Usually, everyone focuses on how amazing and hot Joan Jett and Cherie Currie is (I am guilty of this‼️) and they do not focus on how problematic they can be. I really like how your video is not bias and that it focuses on the whole band, rather than Miss Jett and Miss Currie - I was a little disappointed when I watched this film because I wanted to see more about Jackie and Lita. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!🍒💣
No this is wild because I literally just forced my bandmates to watch this last night and I’ve loved this movie since I first watched it at 16 and it also changed my brain chemistry!! Thank you sm for talking about it I
Thank you for addressing Cherie’s transphobia. It’s something I was only recently aware of and it’s so upsetting. I looked up to her so much as a teenager in a rock band. At least we still have Joan I guess, she’s always been my favorite and she’s supportive of trans people so my only issue is really her defense of Kim. I love this movie so much!
We must be on the same wavelength cuz I saw this movie when it released at like 10 years old and I was obsessed since. I’ve been listening to them a lot lately too. They’re kick ass. I even saw Lita ford after graduating high school IN ALASKA lol
I was a small child when the Runaways was being played on FM radio. I was also a Joan Jett and Letta Ford fan in the 1980s as a teenager. I wish the movie had focused also on the other girls in the band. It's kinda hard to find info on Vickie Blue, Letta Ford, ect on the Internet in general. Cherie Curry and Joan Jett weren't the only interesting ladies in the band.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the director Floria Sigismondi. She directed a lot of really cool late 90's videos and pretty much visualized Anti christ superstar era Marilyn Manson. She also did Katy Perry's Alien video. Floria is an underrated Goddess !
Finally I’ve found my people 🙌 this movie was also one of my gay awakenings in 2010, when I tell you I followed the press and trailers RELIGIOUSLY for this movie, I am not lying. Solidly from like mid 2009 through to mid 2010 I was making sure I heard every update. I was worried it wouldn’t even premiere in Australia! It did, and I still have my DVD from when it came out, and my copy of Neon Angel by Cherie Currie, the memoir the movie was based on. And if anyone tried to tell me back then that Kstew was a bad actor, I’d tell them to watch this. I STILL do. Dakota’s performance…eeehhh hasn’t aged as well. Sometimes comes across as “teenager in school play trying to sound angry and not uncomfortable when swearing”. But it’s still really solid. Michael Shannon as Kim Fowley stole the show tho, he’s soooo accurate to the real Kim Fowley from what I’ve seen in documentaries.
@@RaeRaatma he's incredible and just as unpredictable as the real man. I'm so glad you mentioned Edgeplay too, it's such an incredible documentary. I hope you've also listened to this movie's commentary track - if you haven't, PLEASE DO IT'S SO GOOD. The kiss ALSO altered my brain chemistry to the point where I was no longer straight (seriously I was a lil baby questioning 15 year old and I came out the following year.) I just remember them talking about having to put something between their bodies since Dakota was underage? PS I wrote my comment before I started watching the video proper and saw Cherie's transphobic tweets NOOOOOOO. So disappointing. And finally...HELLO DYADY, HELLO MOHHMMM
I love this movie (and The Runaways in general), though it's odd to watch now because of how much of a weirdo transphobe Cherie Currie is nowadays (I literally got into an argument with her on Twitter once and she blocked me lol)
Thank you. Yeah, she's so infuriating. If there's one good thing that came of it, it's that I can say I was told to "shut the f*ck up" by Cherie Currie lmao @@RaeRaatma Btw, awesome video, I love your channel, I'm glad to have found it!
Oh ma gaul, you were 12 during this movie? I am old as hell! You ever see "the great rocking roll swindle"? The Sex Pistols made me learn guitar and then other instruments followed. No social life . LOLOLL Keep makin' vids .
Read the book queens of noise that's the real story bout the runaways. And as far as seeing the movie does not make u gay ur either gay or not this movie is based on cheries book neon angel
She peed on that guitar. She squared and peed on it. I remember being so shocked when I saw it when I was 14. I haven't seen the movie in 12 years and that's the only thing I still remember.
Okay sorry for double commenting but I looked up the real love performance and sherri over pronounciates the same exact way I thought Dakota fanning was just over exagerating but NOPE! LOL
We like alot of the same stuff. Just wait till you discover The Lunachicks and Jack off Jill !!! Very differently bands and i don't agree with everything you say, I KNOW you will be interested in these groups!
Incredibly transphobic to urge caution about making irreversible permanent life altering changes in regards to minors? Sounds like Cherie's intentions behind her post were actually coming from a place of genuinely giving a shit about the well being of kids. Why can't anyone express any reasonable critical thoughts/opinions about this issue without getting the transphobe label?
I actually don’t think it’s wrong to express caution about minors making irreversible changes to their body. My point was that Cherie’s views on what being trans is are misguided. Ultimately the only people that should be making decisions about kids transitioning are the kids in question, parents, and doctors. Many doctors agree that gender affirming care is life saving and the spectrum of what that means is really big. Making the generalizations Cherie has made may be coming from a good place but they’re also misinformed and dangerous.
Your point about Dakota Fanning being sexualised as a teen is wrong. She's an experienced actress who knew exactly what the movie was saying and what it was about. It's a depiction of exploitation, not an endorsement of it. And if you thought what Dakota was doing in this movie was bad, what about all the pre-teens dancing and twerking to Pound Town or Anaconda? That's something you should be shocked about.
My point was that I would have preferred to see an adult play that character because of how sexual it is. She is a very experienced actress and did an incredible job. I don't think the movie was endorsing exploitation, just that I don't want to see teenagers in corsets.
Not many people know this but Kristen Stewart actually invented lesbians
You don't invent lesbians that's just who you are
The way I was OBSESSED with this movie. 😁 I was happy to see someone making a video about this years later.
it's always nice to hear someone talking about the stuff they are passionate about, great video
This movie made me want to start a band
What if you did!
No because this video reminded me how I used to shoplift when I was 14 while listening to dead end justice thinking how cool I am and just like them
I'm deeply embarrassed now but on the back of my head still thinking I was a little bit cool
Dude this movie made me also fall in love with the runaways, thx for all the info about the real events very informative
I was 15 when this movie came out and had the biggest crush on Kristen Stewart so of course I wanted to see The Runaways in theater! But it was limited release and the movie wasn’t playing were I lived, so I planned a trip with my mom to New York solely to see this movie 😂

found my new favorite CHANNEL!! the way the runaways raised me/changed my life, never seen many people talk about this film. thank you! ❤
1:40 love how you start with credentials and stuff just for a backstory on how you may relate to the story you’re about to tell

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!🍒💣
Cherie at the end of kims life looking after him was so heart warming 😢❤
She said it was easy to forgive him
No this is wild because I literally just forced my bandmates to watch this last night and I’ve loved this movie since I first watched it at 16 and it also changed my brain chemistry!! Thank you sm for talking about it
I
YES! I made my bandmates watch it too! What is your band's name?
Ahh I'm gonna give your band a follow! We're called The Dirty Looks, and the Runaways v much inspired us too!@@RaeRaatma
@@RaeRaatmaIt’s an absolute must watch for all the girlband girlies💖 My band is called The Dirty Looks! I’ll give your band channel a subscribe:)
Thank you for addressing Cherie’s transphobia. It’s something I was only recently aware of and it’s so upsetting. I looked up to her so much as a teenager in a rock band. At least we still have Joan I guess, she’s always been my favorite and she’s supportive of trans people so my only issue is really her defense of Kim. I love this movie so much!

Thank you so much!
This is by far my new favorite channel

We must be on the same wavelength cuz I saw this movie when it released at like 10 years old and I was obsessed since. I’ve been listening to them a lot lately too. They’re kick ass. I even saw Lita ford after graduating high school IN ALASKA lol
this came out when i was 11, i think i didn’t watch it until i was 14 or 15. it did change my brain tbh
3:23 I AGREE! They wanted Dakota fanning in the movie so bad lol so that the two main characters were famous already
I was a small child when the Runaways was being played on FM radio. I was also a Joan Jett and Letta Ford fan in the 1980s as a teenager.

The runaways was like bi/pan girls gateway drug
🥰🥰🥰seriously loved this movie I watched it so many times and became obsessed with each person in real life

YAY! Thank you 😚
This video made my preteen inner self sooo happy
You’re a talent, love the content. Keep it up please ❤

YOU SHOULD DO ONE ON BLONDIE AND ABOUT HOW HER STYLE INSPIRED HARLEY QUINNS STYLE
I remember the originals...and nothing here surprises me! ❤🎉
Joan Jett, Miley Cyrus, and the original singer Tommy James sing Crimson & Clover with Dave Grohl live. The video is here on RUclips.
Why are you literally me
Hey twin!
cherie currie blocked me on twitter :3
Yesss i love this movie so much! I mean this in the least creepy way but i think we would be friends irl lol
Yay bestie!
This movie got me into Bowie.. I can admit that now lmao.
OMG ur cat so cute ❤
thanky
The reason it's all about Cherie and Joan Jet is because it's based on Cherie's autobiography. Neon Angel
This movie came out when i was 14 and i cut my hair at home because i wanted to be like Joan Jett. The results were not good to say the least 😂
Kristen Stewart really made me come to terms with my sexuality when I saw this movie at 16 💀 So I'm here swooning with ya 😂
This movie also made me gay and when I first saw it at 14 I tried to start a band😭
You should try starting a band again!
I love this movie (and The Runaways in general), though it's odd to watch now because of how much of a weirdo transphobe Cherie Currie is nowadays (I literally got into an argument with her on Twitter once and she blocked me lol)
You are so brave for engaging with her. She is incredibly frustrating
Thank you. Yeah, she's so infuriating. If there's one good thing that came of it, it's that I can say I was told to "shut the f*ck up" by Cherie Currie lmao @@RaeRaatma
Btw, awesome video, I love your channel, I'm glad to have found it!
@@layne05that's iconic, tbh.
@@GothGuitarDude thank you
a defining moment of my online existence (as a trans person)
This movie does not get enough talk around it.
Oh ma gaul, you were 12 during this movie? I am old as hell! You ever see "the great rocking roll swindle"? The Sex Pistols made me learn guitar and then other instruments followed. No social life . LOLOLL Keep makin' vids .

lol you’re definitely right Cherie does a lot of enunciating as well
Cherie Curries memoir is really great as well. Kim Fowley is the worst!
We like alot of the same stuff. Just wait till you discover The Lunachicks and Jack off Jill !!! Very differently bands and i don't agree with everything you say, I KNOW you will be interested in these groups!
I am a fan of both those bands!! I don’t know as much about them but their music is great
