"PUNK
GRRRL"
TRIPLE
FEATURE Thanx to all of you who came out to the Roller-Disco Triple Feature last month! It not only was a huge success (it really was difficult finding a seat!), I've never been with such an appreciative & enthusiastic crowd in all my movie-going life! (Cell-phones are the new lighters!)
playing with... This
Joan
of
Arc
analogy
is
one
of
the
most
overlooked
films
of
the
eighties!
Defending
herself
from
being
raped,
17
year-old
Billie
Jean
(Helen
Slater)
cuts
her
hair
punk,
rips
up
her
girly
clothes
and
runs
away
from
home,
bringing
along
her
little
brother
(played
by
an
unknown
Christian
Slater).
With
the
police
hot
on
their
trail,
teenagers
from
every
city
help
hide
the
two
runaways
and
in
return,
Billie
Jean
inspires
them
to
stand
up
against
abusive
adults.
You
will
be
chanting
Pat
Benatar's
Invincible-anthem
all
the
way
home!

"We're not gonna take it!" This landmark 80's punk classic co-written by Jonathan Demme, obviously sparked the "riot-grrrl" movement of the early-90's, yet somehow the film has never been released on vhs or DVD. An all-girl punk band (featuring Diane Lane & Laura Dern) run away from home, stick it to the male-dominated punk scene, and then find themselves in the middle of the media-crazed world they had hated in the first place. 1981. 87min. 35mm. NOTE: This is the last print in existence from Paramount of this subversive and utterly devastating look at personal revolutions and selling-out to the mainstream and may be the final theatrical screening. Miss this… and cry. (Not on DVD at time of screening) If you've never heard of this film go to www.fabulousstains.com/video/stains-behindthemovie.mov. This 10 minute documentary will get you totally excited about the film.
