24 Hour Party People
I watched 24 Hour Party People the other night. It was a lot different than I expected. I kind of went into it cold, knowing only that it was about the early Manchester scene and the people that made it happen. I thought it was going to be more of documentary kind of thing. Instead, it was told as a first person biography of Tony Wilson. If you don't know the bands and at least a little about what in general was going on, it might be tedious but, it is a must-see movie if you are a Joy Division/New Order/Happy Mondays fan.
Also, a strike against Blockbuster Online for the condition of this movie. My DVD player usually does OK with slightly scratched discs, but this one had a lot of areas where the audio and video would break up which was quite annoying. I'll lodge a complaint on the site and see what happens.
