I personally won't be satisfied until this website is 91% gratuitous attacks on the appearance of Mick Jones and Paul Simonon.
Can we rank the current hotness of Clash members?
1. Topper
2. Paul
3. Mick
4. Terry
...
5. Joe
6. Keith Levene
That Vince threatened my life makes him irresistibly hot!

According to this it's due for release in May 23 and the director has the full backing of the Clash and access to the archive. This could turn out to be one hell of a film if it's done right....however the journalist who wrote the article needs a poke in the ribs for referencing Records as "Vinyls"...turns my stomach...

I'm looking forward to this. Let's hope it's good. I hope it addresses all the bad points of Topper's addiction with losing mates like Pete Farndon. Honesty and respect have to be the main subjects.

But the film I want to see made is the one about the kid from the tower block council estate who dreamed of being a rock n' star and ended up playing She stadium. 😉

Very good sign that he has evidently earned the trust not only of Topper but the rest of the crew themselves. Really looking forward to it, looks very promisting.

That's gotta be in the pipeline at some point! The sequel about the skinhead Herbert kid who also played Shea and went on to be arrested as a cook on a Greenpeace ship would go down well too!

Also the prequel of the malevolent dictator who manipulated all he met in to creating ALL pop culture would be great in 3D too!

Excited for this. The longer I listen to the Clash the more I gain an appreciation/understanding of how important he was for their development and the cohesion of their sound during their most experimental period.

There's also just the curiosity about some of the things he was going through in his his latter years with the band.
