Hey you! You with the Joy Division LPs - Go rent "24 Hour Party People"
Hysterical, inventive, fun movie about Factory Records. Steve Coogan (one of the best British comics you've never heard of - I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE needs to be released here) plays Factory impressario Tony Wilson in a wonderful bust-down-the-4th-wall way.

the actor playing Ian Curtis is pretty good too.

This concludes my public service announcement.

1. Hubby and I watched that a few weeks ago. Very funny, and
great performances. If you remember post-punk, you definitely should see this movie.

Hey, kids--this is what "Blue Monday" really sounds like . . .

2. Saw it a year ago in the theatre
Great film. Coogan's a riot. I agree about Alan Partridge...one of the funniest things ever on television.

3. I can't understand why PBS or Comedy Central doesn't snag ALAN PARTRIDGE
what a terrific creation, it made me burn with jealousy!
