Style Inspiration: The Runaways



I'm so glad this movie is on Netflix Watch Instantly; I think I've watched it an embarrassing number of times and I don't really know why. It has a good atmosphere and a good soundtrack and I think Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning were perfectly cast, but I was never into The Runaways (although I don't really know how I missed them in my Sex Pistols days). After watching this for the first time I downloaded their discography-- I suppose that's a minor intention of movies like this. Now I just need to read Cherie Currie's memoir Neon Angel.

But anyway, the costumes! The music! It's very good.

  3. I enjoyed 'The Runaways' very much also! It's the kind of film that had me wanting to form a band after I left the theatre (-:

  4. Holy new layout, Batman! Looks great! I haven't seen this movie yet which is so unfortunate. It looks good even though I have a painful aversion to KStew.

  5. @edgeindustrialphotography: You're welcome! You definitely should. :D

    @Rev No problem!

    @Feeona: Haha me too! They made it look so easy.

    @Isabel: Aw thanks! I missed having a big area for pictures. :) You should watch it immediately, I think you'll really like it-- and honestly even people who hate KStew seem to like her in this, I think she absolutely NAILED it. I wish she would do more characters like that (and more androgynous roles in general).

  6. I absolutely adore this movie, but like you sometimes find it difficult to specify why. The costumes, indeed, are incredible, and I think the girls are perfectly suited to both roles, especially Kristen Stewart who I've always hoped would prove to everyone she could act when given a decent part!!
