Im going home Donny Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Holy shit! I just watched this story...what a story. Manchester too..what a place! The film makers did a brilliant job of recording it too. Definately suggest renting this one. Heres the trailer... That's the trailer for Controll which I thought was really well done too. : http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=373747675 Edited June 27, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ian Curtis was a pretty interesting dude.I'm looking forward to watching the movie when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Joy Division has always been one of my favourite bands. Haven't seen the JD documentary yet. Control, however, was brilliant on so many levels. You don't have to be a fan of JD or Ian Curtis to enjoy this movie. The performances (both the acting and the musical performances) are great. The actor playing Ian captured his moves and sound so well. Check out some of the videos on Youtube where they've spliced clips from the movie with the actual JD clips - they are almost seamless. Will have to rent the doc. And I've got to say that the intro to Love Will Tear Us Apart is one of the best openings to a rock song ever. There is just something about it. Gave me the chills in both of those clips, for the trailers, posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 That first Joy Division album is raw and powerful. It's unfortunate that they devolved into New Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUITARZAN Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah pretty unfortunate...cause NEW ORDER never put out any quality music. I loved Joy Division, they were raw...however New Order put out a slew of great records, some amazing songs in there. Sorry have to defend New Order, still listen to them on a daily basis.

Jaimoe Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I hate Depeche Mode with an unholy passion, so you can see where I'm coming from regarding my dislike of New Order, although my opinion may be tainted by their singles output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 New order put out some good stuff, but nothing that ever compared to Joy Division imo. The only New Order album I ever bought was Brotherhood. They did put out some great dance music if you're into that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenenbaum Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 who's got their Joy Division Zune mp3 player cranked to 11?http://www.zune.net:80/en-us/products/zuneoriginals/joydivision/default.htmAs for New Order, "Blue Monday" is still on repeat in my head since the 80's.
