I got to check out most of the Ramones documentary, End of the Century, last night during a preview showing at Kings (I didn't get off work in time to catch the beginning).

Two quick impressions: The early live footage is so incredibly powerful, and really, the epitome of rock 'n' roll; I truly wish I could have been at that July 4, 1976 show in England.

Secondly, they could have gone back and included an epilogue on Johnny Ramone. After spending so much time on Johnny's and Dee Dee's deaths, to not even mention Johnny was a glaring error and left me seriously disappointed with an otherwise engaging and well-done movie.
