I just watched 'Control' last night. I thought of Call-Screener Mike (i think that's his name) when Ian cracked a Smile while watching Stroszek.

i AM a big fan, and i enjoyed the film. was happy that it was pretty faithful - the line "they are from manchester, except for one of them who is from salford.. a critical distinction" is from tony wilson, peace be upon him.

I want to see 24-hour Party People but that shit is NEVER on any TV channel - even HBO and Showtime.  And I am NOT joining Netflix.  I watch too much already.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Samir, you are a resourceful man.

I had to share this coincidence -- I was just (like half an hour before clicking the link above) looking at a design book that featured the logo and identity of Pathe!, whose logo artfully graces the screen at the beginning of said video. Well, ahem, anyway, I was kind of taken by this coincidence.
