Even cult 80s popstars need to do the shopping... Documentary-style comedy about Adam & The Ants making a charmingly off-kilter trip to their local 24-hour supermarket at 2am on a nondescript weekday morning. Cruising the aisles like some kind of bizarre surrogate family-unit, the flamboyantly dressed band-members are thrown into crisis when one of their 2 drummers suddenly goes missing.

The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
'Blonde' commits a relentless assault on the autonomy of Marilyn Monroe, reducing the icon to nothing more than a victim of the director's whims.
It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit. Michael is no exception.
