Every rumor of another movie about the
early punk scene is met with trepidation by the fans of that period. Every time
we hear about another film project covering the life of Darby Crash, we hear a
chorus of moans from the ranks of the obsessed. It was a period of high drama
and embarrassing excess, and every survivor seems to be a mental case with an
arsenal of axes to grind.
