Lita Ford "Always Gets the Shaft"

When will Lita Ford, the Stevie Nicks of hair metal, get the respect she deserves? Not, apparently, in The Runaways. BOO. “We see Cheri Currie and Joan Jett do drugs and make out a few times, but the movie does nothing to explore whatever complications that brought-if any-to their onstage and offstage relationship and only hints ever so briefly at what it did to the band dynamic. And speaking of the band, what about the other three members? Each gets a handful of dialogue (oh, Lita Ford, you always get the shaft!) but don’t even make it into the here’s-what-happened notes at movie’s end.”
