:clap: I really like Ian's lyrics more than Morrissey's or Elliott Smith's combined. They're just something else.

I don't buy the rock n roll suicide myth being the reason he killed himself.
As for a possible Deborah Curtis agenda, I'd say his infidelity and maybe a bit of guilt perhaps?

DEREK JARMAN -BLUE
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...XL._AA280_.jpg

Can you handle a pure blue screen for 80 minutes with only narration and sound efx to sate yourself? Derek Jarman was nearly blind and only a few months away from death when he made this film. His career dates back to the late 70's with his savagely subversive Jubilee which is widely attributed as the first UK Punk movie. A major *** activist Jarmans movies have astonished and annoyed in equal measure. If I can take a neutral stance, Jarman had an innate sense of the moving image as art form yet his projects never fully realised his vision. Whether this is through lack of budget or lack of a cohesive vision has never been proved. Blue is infuriatingly brilliant. A total blue screen for 80 minutes is egotistical and is the complete antithesis of what cinema is. Yet it is watchable and poses questions that i can't frankly answer regarding audio and visual stimuli and the role they play in cinema today.

yes indeed. i've put my opinion out there, that's all i'll say. i disagree with you jackhammer about his mistakes, sure he married young, but he was older than me when he was stringing his wife along with child in tow, i've encountered his kind before and nothing wounds their masculinity more than to have to let go of a possession

Just finished Peeping Tom, pretty sweet flick.

I saw Blow Up the other week, allegedly a 60's British cinema classic (and there are alot of them), but I hated it. Can somebody tell me if I'm wrong? It was very French, far too pretentious and I had no sympathy with the main character whatsoever, he reminded me of East London **** art students. But worse.

The main attraction for that film is the Yardbirds scene and the mime tennis, otherwise it moves very slowly and the fact that it's parodied constantly ruins a lot of the appeal.

control..

not as good as everyone says. just as overrated as ian curtis.

5/10

Ian Curtis is vastly underrated

8/10 cgi weren't impressive The Last Man on Earth is still the best of all the film adaptions.
