Disorder vs. Hal 9000

Schnappp!!! Recently, NetFlix blessed me with the movie Control (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421082/) that features the life and times of the lead singer/songwriter for Joy Division, Ian Curtis. This is probably one of the best biopics I've ever seen. Sam Riley definitely played the part of Ian Curtis to the f'n "T".Even though Curtis's life is one of tragedy, this movie, traces the roots of the creators of the post-punk movement from their start in 1977 to Curti's death in 1980. The acting during the movie made me feel like I was watching a documentary more so than watching an actual movie because the songs (all sung by the actors) and the portrayals made me feel like these were the actual members of the band. Anyway, see for yourself and thank me later.

Peep the video below. It is a combination of two of my favorite things : 2001: A Space Odyssey and Joy Division's "Disorder".
