I can’t imagine a large audience for this Ramone movie.

WTF is wrong with Pete’s eyes? Looks like a some sort of junkie on a months long bender.

He is a drug addict on a bender.

Love the Ramones; hate Pete Davidson. Guess I’ll just listen to the music and skip the movie.

They have so far.

I loved the Ramones, but it’s a hard pass for me. When Davidson made fun of the service-related facial disfiguration of Dan Cranshaw, he joined my permanent ignore list.

It goes into production after they finish the Dukes of the Stratosphere story.

I’d like him a lot more if he weren’t perpetually baked and had any talent at all...
