[quote=drexlJude as Ian? They should get whoever played Ian in 24 Hour Party People, he had the moves down pat![/QUOTE]
^^Third that.
I like Joy Division more for how they changed music, then their music itself.
Don't get me wrong, I love them to death, they are an amazing band all around.
No matter how played out it is, Love Will Tear Us Apart is an absolutely stunning song. One of my favorites.
I love Joy Division... but thought of Jude Law as Ian makes me gag.
Jude, just walk away... in silence...
oh jeez - i just snorted, laughing so hard. how embarrassing
anyway, i really don't think jude law should be ian, i really don't. and like, i love them - they're one of my favorite bands, but why do we need a movie about them? it just seems pointless. i'm so jaded
i found a really nice oop copy of the warsaw record at amoeba in sf and i really like those recordings - very crude, but so beautiful. i also really love new order's versions of old jd songs like 'ceremony' and 'in a lonely place,' kind of new-orderified but still really amazing.
do you think a new order topic could be put into this one?
Well, they may be the same band without Ian Curtis, but they still are different right?
Theres just something eerie about Ian Curtis's voice. Does anybody know why he killed himself?
Why does anyone kill themselves? Who knows.
Maybe stress, pain, his wife, his music.
It was on the eve of his American tour, maybe the thought of that was to much to handle. Maybe he felt his life was fulfilled. Who knows.
i don't think the public has ever learned exactly what the note said. i think it's a safe bet to say that he wasn't prepared for the responsibility of being in a hugely popular rock band - he had epilepsy, suffered from depression...i guess kurt cobain wasn't the first to think being a rocker was too hard.
this is a nicely written article about the album 'closer.'
i guess you're right about new order, greg - i've been a fan of both for so long i tend to marry them, but they are totally different bands. i think i'll start a new order thread if we don't already have one
And I agree, Jude is way too..slick and, I don't know, handsome? to play Ian. He has a completely different 'vibe' if you get me. Maybe the film itself will be called off altogether..I'm sort of hoping it is.
And Von, I agree. Love Will Tear Us Apart I will never tire of.
Joy Division ( ) are one of my favorites... But of all their songs, Love Will Tear Us Apart is perhaps my least favorite... which I'm sure many would find odd, or crazy.
