NOT FADE AWAY



Just watched the movie Control last night which comes highly recommended. Brilliant, very funny, and tragic story of Joy Division and the life and death of Ian Curtis. Had no idea this story would affect me so deeply. The great part of the movie is how it captures the silly and strange world of four guys barely out high school trying to succeed as a band. Brilliant film.

hey peter!
yeah, this film is so intense, right? the performances were devastating- i'm not sure what was more tragic- Curtis' inability to cope with fame, or the wife and baby he left behind who had to pick up the pieces.

they were so young. could you imagine?

Thanks, kayoko!

The film was super intense. I was very choked up at the end.

I'll teach you how to put up some flash music in your posts, and I'll write a ginger beer review for you if you still want for your blog!
