The Ramones. Talking Heads. The Police. Blondie. The B-52’s. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. Misfits. What do these musical legends have in common? They all played their early shows at CBGB, a venue on Bleeker Street in New York City. Now, CBGB has its own movie, titled (appropriately enough) CBGB. Directed by Randall Miller (Bottle Shock) and starring Alan Rickman, Rupert Grint, Ashley Greene, Malin Akerman, Joel David Moore, Johnny Galecki, Donal Logue, the all-star rock drama is now in select theaters, and we’ve got some CraveOnline Exclusive ready-made meme images to premiere. So let’s get to it.
