Saw it this affo. When we left, the sole topic of conversation was "Jesus, that was bleak. I wouldn't watch that for entertainment".
Really good though. Sam Reilly was excellent, even if he did look more like Steve than Ian, and the versions of songs by the cast were really really good. Personal favourites were Isolation and Dead Souls. Pity they didn't do Ceremony as the last gig, though.
Overall - bloody good (but bleak)!

The abridged version of 'A Clockwork Orange':
Malcolm McDowell: "I was having a right horrorshow time of it, O my brothers, crasting and drasting with my droogies all the nochy, viddying the vino flow. Then, those glooby bratchny millicents loveted me and hurled me in the plenny like a common prestoopnik. That vonny plenny wasn't for me, so I let some doctor vecks filly with my mozg to fix me up right skorry. Then I ittied on home like a good malckickiwick, but I couldn't slooshy my lovely Ludwig anymore without getting bolnoy. It was oozhassny, so I jumped out the okno. I've had rather a change of heart, and thinking of getting a zheena like a proper chelloveck, and all that cal."
Audience: "Eh?"

Holy Moly wrote:With the film Control, dealing with the life of Ian Curtis, about to premiere in the US, Joy Division and New Order bassist Peter Hook has revealed that he received an unusual phone call from the US distributors asking for a favour. He told Shortlist magazine...
"Someone from the film's US distributor's office phoned up saying that the New York premiere was on September 25 and would Joy Division play?"
"I replied, 'Well, the last I heard, the lead singer was dead but I'll give them a ring and see if anything has changed'."
Hey, he's a witty one isn't he? See, the film distributors of all people should have known that Ian Curtis was already dead, and therefore would be unable to sing! Hilarious really.
Not quite as hilarious as the last time Pete trotted out this anecdote, when the Joy Division greatest hits, 'Substance', was released, and Pete claimed the band were asked to play at the launch party. With this joke getting more re-releases than the Factory back catalogue, perhaps it should get its own serial number. How about 4 Fac Sake?

Just seen it. glad I didn't see it on saturday before a fun night out as it is, of course, somewhat of a bummer.
absolutely excellent though. really remarkable acting from sam riley and samantha morton.
moved - oops sorry chaps - I cast about for a thread but didn't spot it!
