LouieB Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I can't wait to see this movie, although I am kinda laid up so I may have to wait for video. Anyone want to go see it for me? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 There's a thread about that in this section, my friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 There's a thread about that in this section, my friend. I guess I have been MIA a bit here, sorry. I was out for surgery so perhaps this thread went right by me. I logged back in today and most of these threads are exactly the same as they were went I was out so I figured, hey time for something new. Even the thread that does exist isn't on the first page because I did look before I posted up.LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are you alright?Sort of.....I didn't post this all up because the "group" ain't what it was and because it seemed like a kind of blatant request for vibes and attention. The short form (and the Chicago folks knew this) is that I had another bowel resection, so yea, it was major abdominal surgery and pretty dreadful (last Thursday), but I am on the mend.

Analogman Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I was wondering - as I did not recall you talking about it. I think I have spent more time at the dr office in the past couple of months than I have in my entire life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Its a bitch getting old or having a chronic illness. Thanks. We all just have to hang in there. Actually there is a medical component to this movie, since Curtis had epilepsy and shouldn't have been trying to live the rock life. Hell there are days just living the rock FAN life is hard enough.

Analogman Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I have never listened to the band in question here - did not seem like the sort of music I would listen to. I think I have seen some youtube videos of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB And...? So what. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery for you man. Your like an institution round these parts: Yours was one of the first posts I think I read here back in the day.

Wendy Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=31704 You are so busted for burying this in a music/movie thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I have seen some youtube videos of them.I would think you might hate them, but then again maybe not. Either way I think the story is fairly compelling and was certainly shocking when the events actually occured. I don't know that I was actually waiting for them to show up in the USA, but Love Will Tear Us Apart was very different than other songs of that period and dark, dark dark. As for burying my health news in a music thread, well, really I was not looking for any attention (I have in the past, but again that was when this was a much smaller board) and just figured I would deal with it when I felt better. There were enough people here who knew I was out of action that I figured that was enough. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 The film is really good. It does look like a set of photographs though, as you'd probably expect from Anton Corbijn. Even if you're not a fan of the band (Aman!) then it's still a great film about music, life and love. And Louie - glad to hear you're ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Is it anything like the recent Kurdt Cobain film? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe there are a number of the photographs at the exhibit at the CMA, in fact it is some of the best stuff there. (along with the Velvet Undergound film material.)

Welsh Rich Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Is it anything like the recent Kurdt Cobain film? Which one's that? As for the photos - yeah, Corbijn has said that Joy Division was the reason he left his home town / country and moved to the UK. He just HAD to photograph these guys. I guess that's why he ended up making the movie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 I finally saw this flick last night. It was the last night it was showing at the Music Box and it was really quite good. Worth checking out. The end takes a bit too long, but the rest of the movie is quite interesting and the the recreation of the JD songs (some are are actually JD) sounds pretty authentic.
