[b]Title?[/b]
Man, what to call this movie? Their song titles provide plenty of ideas...

Psychotherapy
Pinhead

Rockaway Beach
I Wanna be Sedated
Teenage Lobotomy
Certin Hop
I Wanna Live
We're a Happy Family
Beat on the Brat
... and so many more

But the best title would be the 1st track of their 1st album:

Blitzkrieg Bop

That would kick.

[b]Hmm. . .[/b]
Well, I'd go for:
My Brain is Hanging Upside Down
Hey! Ho! Let's Go!
The KKK Took My Baby Away
Gabba Gabba Hey!
We Accept You
We Want the Airwaves
Too Tough to Die
or better yet: 53rd and 3rd

Though I love the title of the book--reminds me of the old Bill Cosby record, "My Brother Russell, whom I slept with"

--all with the subtitle "The Story of the Ramones"

"Do You Remember Rock & Roll Radio?"

I hope they make this, and I hope they do a good job on it. It would be pretty sweet for the Ramones revolution (which seems to be subtly occurring over the past couple years) to get even stronger.

How about, DON"T DO IT!!! With the exception of Sid & Nancy and, maybe The Doors, rock bio pics BLOW!! No actor can ever match the real life persona of the musician they're playing and the movies always over- glam and sugar coat the real story. You wanna know the Ramones? They formed. They rocked. They did alot of smack. They died. Kick ASS!! Let the music speak for itself and don't give 15 year old girls from the suburbs another excuse to buy their shirts at Hot Topic and furthur sully their good name.

The 'Ramones Revolution' happened 30 years ago. It was called PUNK.
