Hello again Vox, it's me.
I got out of school very recently and have been on the internet far too much, which could very well explain why I am online right now writing this.
But on to my actual point of this post, I finally saw CONTROL.
My cousin Mac mentioned it and I finally got to see it after 6 months. I have listened to Joy Division for a couple years now and thought that It'd be cool to see more of them.
For those of you who have never listened to Joy Division, go familiarize yourself with a good Wikipedia read here.
I'm going to assume you didn't go to the link because you are lethargic like myself and will give you the short story. Joy Division is an English rock group from mid 1970's. Led by vocalist Ian Curtis they captured London and America with their distinctive style of music. Ian Curtis had epilepsy and was frequently depressed. He had seizures, a few of which happened to occur on stage, embarrassing Curtis and provoking his depression. He committed suicide in 1980, devastating fans in both England and the US. 
This independent film traces his rise to stardom and subsequent slip into depression. I loved the film, it was right up my alley, lots of good music, awesome accents and it's all in black and white, just what I like.
