WTF??? ' model themselves after the Ramones' ??? wtf.


why does TimeWarner cable (when you press the 'plot info' button) describe the plot as..... "a group of kids model themselves after the Ramones.....etc etc...." the Ramones had not one ioda to do with this movie, nor were any of the songs Ramones songs, nor did any of the characters idolize the Ramones. is TimeWarner so yuppie that they look at skater kids' styles and say, "oh they're trying to look like the Ramones". i don't get it. how ignorant. is that what ignorant people think we they see skaters and their styles......??? how dumb !

I love Sasha Vujacic !!

Yeah I have directTV and it says that too. I think thats the bio IFC gave to the companies. It does have nothing to do with The Ramones, but alot of people who dont know better associate "Punk" with "The Ramones" just how people associate "Reggae" with "Bob Marley"

well there's a line about the ramones in the movie and they do dress a bit like the ramones and are pretty much the modern day version of what a ramones type band would be on the west coast.. so i guess it's not that much of a stretch

but then again, i'm not so sure, lol - http://www.amazon.com/Horror-Rock-Stories-Hendrix-ebook/dp/B004HFRKLG

The most ramones thing in the movie was that fat kid who wrote "ramones" on his shirt with a sharpie it looks like. I was like..what the *beep*

Not to be aweful, but the Ramones look really latino.
Ramones get a mention in the movie but That's not what's completely inspiring them.

Last Movie Seen: Get Him to the Greek. Not as formulaic as predicted. Diddy stole the show, it was awesome.

They only said that because they're stupid. A lot of Hispanic kids in the south central area (or even just the general LA area) who are into skating and rock wear skinny jeans and shaggy hair, so the reviewers think it's specifically Ramones. Back when this movie was made, I was in Montebello in CA and every other kid I walked by looked exactly like this.
