I saw the movie "Control" last night, which is about Ian Curtis of Joy Division. I highly recommend this movie - its given me new appreciation of the band, and of the plight of Ian Curtis.

If you're in Denver - check out the new Neighborhood Flix theater where you can get food, drinks, excellent customer service and enjoy great movies like Control.
