with a title like that, this entry is sure to disappoint…
i just wanted to recommend a movie rental that a friend at work thankfully recommended to me.
“24 hour party people” is a comedy/drama/borderline-documentary chock full of dry british wit. allow me to plagarize in order to summarize:”[the film] re-creates the colorful, reckless world of Manchester, England, in the 1970s & 80’s in this ambitious story about the birth of punk. Focusing on Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), the journalist/band manager/label president/club owner who was one of the major forces behind the movement.”
It spans arguably the greatest era of music, from The Sex Pistols to Joy Division to The Happy Mondays to New Order. It’s the ultimate Behind the Music. Really, really, good, thumbs up, must see, etc., etc.
God it made me miss my youth!
