We Are The Stains and We Don't Put Out





Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, my recent discovery, is a cult punk movie from early 80s, which never really had an official, cinematic release. It's therefore quite difficult to find, or even find out about, but I guess it makes it even cooler. 

"The media and disaffected teens mistake the acerbic rants of an obnoxious teenage punk rocker as a rallying cry for the women of America, launching her and her talentless group to national stardom."

The Fabulous Stains is a scpecific movie, but I found it likeable - no wonder, it contains some of the cinematic themes which make me quite biased. I mean, it really feels like a movie from 1982 and some parts are quite awkward and contrived, but that's the part of its charm. But there are lot more reasons to love it than to hate it. Firstly, Diane Lane is truly fabulous, her character and her band just ooze with girl power. I absolutely loved the Corrine Burns - Diane Lane's character - transformation. Believe me, the famous cigarette scene is just one of the numerous badass things she does in the film. And all the "skunk" fangirls were great.
