control

i watched most of the movie at work that day but wasn't able to finish it. i had a few free minutes on friday afternoon so i popped the movie in. unfortunately the stupid dvd player was not co-operating with me & by the time i got the darn thing working, mother-in-law & B were by my side ready to watch the end of the movie.

i tried to explain the scenario to them, although i knew they were both not interested in the slightest. i also had to have the volume rather low because of all the cussing, however it made the british accent all the more difficult to interpret.

so what they saw was a gig, ian with his girlfriend, ian returning home to his wife that he no longer loved, then hanging himself. i'm sure they were very impressed; mother-in-law's thoughts: he sang out of tune...

i have to say to a certain degree i didn't like the movie, it hurt to see him cheat on his wife who had no idea he had fallen out of love with her. i watched the commentary, i've learned that i end up liking movies more after watching the extra stuff included. the guys that play the band, actually performed the music & sang on the movie, no lip-synching, i thought that was very neat.

during the credits, the killers version of shadowplay is on. i really liked that song from the first time i heard it, i didn't know it was a remake, which makes it all the more better, but now when i listen to it i hear joy division.
