Dylan-I'm Not There/Ian Curtis-Control

Post Reply New Topic

Wasn't too sure whether to post this in the film forum, but the two films are about Bob Dylan and Ian Curtis (Joy Division). I figure it'd be better suited here seeing that fans of either would be located here. Anyone see either? Opinions?

I can't wait to see Control!! I've heard it's really good.

I really want to see I'm Not There.
I heard Cate Blanchett looks & sounds uncanny as as an androgynous Bob Dylan.

Control is brilliant! - one of my favorite films of the year. I've been a huge Joy Division fan since I heard the track "Atmosphere" playing in a local record shop when I was six years old. Not knowing anything about them, I thought that Ian Curtis was an old man! (because of his voice). I pictured someone in his seventies - It wasn't till I was ten that I read an article about New Order in Sounds (old UK music mag) and found out..

The mother of one of my little sisters friends was appalled that I loved them. She thought I was 'weird' for liking them at age six. Now its kind of funny but at the time I thought this woman was an idiot!

What can I say, when I was a kid John Peel was my hero & I lived for music and film (still the same). Joy Division, Cocteau Twins and Talking Heads ruled my world - Should add that I love Bob Dylan too. I didn't discover him until I was fourteen though!

Hey, autodidact who's that in your avatar? I remember seeing a movie by her that I really liked.

It's Miranda July and the still is from 'Me and You and Everyone We Know'. She's beautiful and the film is awesome

Is that an R. Crumb drawing in your avatar by the way?
