Just watched this movie. I enjoyed it. It's pretty sad and morbid though, especially the Ian Curtis bit. What a loonball he was

loved all the stuff about Shaun Ryder.
man, that Tony Wilson - how he could keep his cool. I would've strangled Ryder long before.

That pigeon scene was priceless, a great way to introduce the characters. I loved that movie, I only wish they would've featured The Smiths. I know they wanted to but I believe Morrissey put the brakes on it at the last minute.

spot ON! while it was kinda cruel, it was hilarious at the same time (i liked the part where they said NO actual pidgeons were harmed in the making of the movie, ALTHOUGH some people consider them RATS.....AHHAHA)
i love BRITISH humor, i think i'd get on quite well over there. one reason is cos like in this movie it's dry and SMART, gotta love that combo. i didn't miss anything Tony said, and i got the LITERARY references, which made me feel happy!
anyway the movie was a riot, and it touched ever so briefly on the unhappy life of Ian Curtis, and what a heroic effort made by the rest of the band to continue as New Order, how many times does that happen?
anyway i'd like to visit manchester.....i think i'd like it, especially if there's a place like the HACIENDA to dance in!!!
=0)
TWO thumbs UP as ebert would say =0)

It is a great film. Especially if you were into Factory, like I presume a lot of people here were, or are...
Further watching for the hardcore: The film Ian Curtis watched before hanging himself is called Stroszek and is by Werner Herzog. If you ever get a chance to see it, do so!!! It is morbid beyond belief...I will post samples from it on my home page soon...

on the 2nd one is a documentary about Michael Winterbottom and a viewing of 24 hour party people with a bunch of people from that time, commenting on the film - for example, Hooky, one of the singers of the Happy Mondays, one of the guys from A Certain Ratio.

how is Stroszek morbid?..its a satire on america, its more comic than tragedy.
24 HPP is a good (false) retelling of the Factory story.

About Stroszek I think its morbid, but its also comic and bizarre. I love it when they get to America and all music start sounding like Nilson´s "Everybodys talkin"...

yeah come here. its a great place - when its sunny anyway.
the hacienda has been knocked down now though. there are some flats being built on the site at the moment. the slogan they are using to try to get you to buy one is;
Now the partys over......you can come home.
how shit is that? cashing in maybe????
there are still some good clubs here though.

news just in......
shaun ryder has dismissed the 24 hour party people movie as a joke.
"the script i saw was about what happened to factory and the hacienda. the film i saw was about steve coogan trying to play a new character and then going 'why bother, illl just do alan partridge and just call him someone else'."
