Chris' favorite band of all time is Joy Division. While I adored New Order from the age of about 14 on, I could never really get into Joy Division. I was always listening to Ian Curtis' voice and thinking about how he killed himself and it would lend the whole thing a depressing air that I couldn't find my way past. But as it is when you share your life with another, I have kind of grown to really like Joy Division.
Anton Corbijn made a movie about Joy Division or about Ian Curtis, I can't quite tell. It's apparently got the amazing Samantha Morton in it, which makes it instantly watchable. The thing with this clip is that it totally freaks me out because that guy is like Ian Curtis rose from the freaking grave. Like a movie about Joy Division wouldn't already have enough darkness and creep to begin with. Still, I'm sure I'll end up seeing it no matter what.
