Well, whoever plays Tom, I can't help but agree with the person here (Rex
Broome) who suggests Tom will likely be none too pleased 
about being depicted
in the movie. Or at least he may have very mixed 
feelings.If so, I can't
blame him. Is Tom the kind of guy who will 
appreciate a screenwriter who's
probably never met him putting words in 
Tom's mouth, inventing conversations
he never had, & likely 
depicting him in incidents that never occurred, or
didn't happen the way the movie will portray them? I don't think so!

I like
documentaries bettter than 
docu-dramas, 'cause the fictionalized ones are
virtually certain to be 
full distortion, misinformation, &
mis-characterization about people & what  happened.They're typically geared to
entertain with drama, instead of trying to be true to facts. Not that
documentaries always 
get facts right, but they stand a better chance. I've
been a Doors fan 
since the '60s but have never seen, nor have wanted to see
Oliver 
Stone's movie ''The Doors''. Not since I read during its making that
Ray Manzarek, who'd been a creative consultant early on, had been banned 
from
the set for complaining Stone was inventing scenes of Jim Morrison 
doing &
saying things Jim never did or said, & never would have 
done! So, I've not
wanted to see Stone's ''biographical'' movie full of 
apparent lies about the
Doors. Is there any reason to think this CBGBs 
movie will likely do much
better in accurately depicting CBGBs' history? Probably not!

After seeing the
fine Ramones 
doc. ''End of the Century'', & excellent BBC Blondie doc. ''One
Way 
or Another'', it makes me wish someone would make a well-done Television
doc. too. I like this quote from Dee Dee Ramone from an interview clip 
from
that Ramones doc. movie. QUOTE:  ''I loved Television. That was 
CBGBs to me,
some lonely night with ten people there, & Television 
playing...Tom
Verlaine's Venus de Milo song. It was great, y'know.'' I like hearing actual
words recounting recollections, spoken by musicians who were there, such as
Dee Dee. Those kinds of truthful little gem quotes are findable in docs. But
in docu-dramas full of made-up ****?  Not so likely, eh?!
