[B]Pistol[/B].  Hulu.  The origin story of the Sex Pistols.  This is quite fun.  Directed by Danny Boyle.   The acting is really very good from almost everyone.  It's based on Steve Jones' memoir [U]Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol[/U]  It's quite good at capturing the scene of London at that time, which was miserable, resulting in the rage fueled music of the punk movement.  It's fascinating to see the various characters in the overall scene.  Much like you find with the documentaries on Laurel Canyon in the late 60's.   You've got Malcolm McClaren, who had managed the New York Dolls.  You've got a pretty brunette American working in his shop, and that's Chrissy Hynde.  He connects her with Mick Jones, but Jones forms a different group (The Clash).  The introduction of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious, including how they got their names, is quite fun.  You've got Siouxsie Sioux, Jordan (Maise Williams), Billy Idol.  Some take issue with certain details, but overall I think it paints a nice picture.  Johnny Rotten wasn't a fan (he sued and lost), but the rest of the band (and Sid's estate) and Chrissy Hynde were supportive and contributed.
