JOAN JETT returns to the days of loving rock'n'roll
from: afterellen.com

Click to enlarge Rocker JOAN JETT recently traded in her Blackheart to star in lighthearted indie teen comedy Endless Bummer.

The movie follows a group of teenagers from Ventura as they chase down a stolen surfboard. It's set in 1984, the year of Jett's album Glorious Results of a Misspent Youth, and the plot sounds so simple and silly it just might result in something glorious itself — as long as they don't try to take it too seriously. Producer Steven Siebert describes the film as "a genuine story of a pivotal day for a group of young Ventura surfers" and fellow producer Kevin Lyman says, "its relevance is timeless and has no boundaries."

Ummm, okay. I get that the best comedies actually have deeper meaning (think of the anthropological masterpiece Dazed and Confused), but I was sold when I read that the soundtrack will include '80s hits covered by current rockers, including Jett.

Even if this movie doesn't "Change the World," it'll hopefully be chock full of fun-in-the-sun nostalgia. It's also a good excuse to watch old '80s videos, such as the one for my favorite Jett song, "Crimson & Clover," formerly used on AfterEllen.com as evidence for her position as the #15 hottest butch around. Seriously — if she does anything like this in Endless Bummer, it'll be a hit with me.

If you live in Ventura, wander on down to the beach — maybe you'll catch the cast in action!
