Dee Dee Ramone - Hey Is Dee Dee Home

Summary: Not what Ramones' fans would expect
Review: The Dee Dee in question is, of course, Dee Dee Ramone: Writer of the best songs for the first and best punk band and the world's most loveable drug addict. I saw this one at the Tribeca Film Festival (With Marky Ramone sitting behind me...never took off his sunglasses!). I guess it's going to skip theatrical run and go right to dvd. The problem with this documentary is that it consists entirely of an interview conducted for another (as yet unreleased) documentary on Johnny Thunders. Upon Dee Dee's death the director decided to release it as a tribute. Consequently, very little is said by Dee Dee about his early life or life with the Ramones. Still it's an engaging snapshot of a reasonably clean Dee Dee, circa 1991,witty and wise in that sweet burned out way of his. Particularly adorable is his long conversation with his cat and his request for supplements from GNC in leiu of coffee since he's "Healthy Dee-Dee, now". For those of us who loved and miss Dee Dee, though, it's definitely worth checking out. Like spending an hour with an old irresponsible but much loved friend (without having to check if the silverware's missing when he leaves!).

Summary: Dee Dee RIP
Review: this is a great view of Dee Dees wit and humor and he is very honest and very upfront about his life and woes.I also read his book 'Surviving The Ramones ' i know all the Ramones and this is very cool to have. There is no music ( whole songs ) on this DVD but is well worth it for any Ramones fan. i sure miss Dee Dee..

Summary: For only True Ramones' fans, please...
Review: This movie is, like I said, for True Ramones' fans only. It doesn't contain Dee Dee's story of his whole life, mainly, just after he left the band in July 1989- until he did the interview in 1992. I did enjoy this a bit, because of the extra gig video that was included- Johnny Thunders's version of "Chinese Rocks"- whcih, sorry to say, doesn't compare to The Ramones' version. Anyways, Dee Dee goes over classic times; such as him, Johnny Thunders, and Jerry Nolan (N.Y.D.) trying to form the "Whores of Babylon" in Paris, to other memorable moments. I was on the computer while I watched this movie, so I only got a jist of it, but it was still good. But, it's going to be too hard to get for un-devoted fans of The Ramones or Dee Dee.

Gabba Gabba Hey!- "Have A Nice Day".
