  I can't quite believe it. The gal behind "Secretary" is putting together a movie on the life of Ian Curtis. It's strange how I'm reacting to the news, after recently reading "Touching From A Distance" which is a book written by his widow Deborah, part of me knows that its a tale which will make a fascinating film. Part of me also knows that it's got to be put together seriosuly well so that it doesn't depict him incorrectly - fans will revolt if they get it wrong.
Fuck the fans - I will be annoyed if they fuck it up. The book is absolutely beautiful, one of the most compelling things I've read in a long time, it convey's the rise and fall of Joy Division, obviously, but also looks at the man behind the public poet, his mental state, his will to want to die young and as an icon, his seductiveness and then manipulative and controlling nature. It was something that has helped me understand a character me and gen are slowly putting together for a film, as i read the story I knew it would be a fantastic film if you're brave enough to tackle it.
I wish them (whoever's doing this) luck! In other news, its sunny! :D :D which is a bitch when you're stuck in an office, i mean, CUPBOARD at work, but enjoyable once you get home. I've spent a couple more hours looking up other venues in NYC and brooklyn to check up listings. Nothing much new, though we're going to go and catch Bobby Conn and Trans AM the night after the mighty /^^(A)^^\ Just three weeks to go, I still can't quite believe I'm going to finally see them! It makes up for the LA disaster/disappointment. In Buffalo we're hooking up with a kind soul who's looking after us/driving us to and from the gig.
We're gonna go partay pre show at the venue - wow - party time in america, with some americans!!! I know it's no big deal, but a first for me!! Afterwards there's a fan meetup/party "by the pool" I dunno if we're gonna get there as our host may wanna drive home, personally i hope not, i've always wanted to check out a poolside happenning. The whole buffalo side of the trip is sounding soooooooooooooooo Dazed and Confused, and that rings true - first prority of the trip (summer) is to get our aerosmith tickets!
My final comment of the day - you can download a perfect copy of the first five minutes of shrek 2 at www.shrek2.com - it's totally legit! What a fantastic idea that is! It also rocks too, I can't wait to check it out. Now Playing --> SNoop Doggy Doogy "Doggystyle" album
