Today's sign of the apocalypse: "Bandslam"

Oh, boy. Just caught this over at Idolator. It's "Bandslam," and stars Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka. It opens. Aug. 14.



As Idolator's Maura Johnson notes, "Maybe in 2049 we’ll see a teen flick that has a scene with kids running through the ruins of the John Varvatos store currently in that space… but probably not."

Meanwhile, I am hopeful for an epic comment from Alex.

    By the early 90s, CBGBs had become a has been place. The management made it uncool like this film.

    Without CB's there would be no Sex Pistols or Clash? This movie is wrong on so many levels... Thanks for sharing.

    I'll second that, KB. I'm surprised the line wasn't "Without CBGB there'd be no Green Day or Avril Lavigne.

    *sigh*
