Celluloid Order??

I had to teach a class on 'queer cinema' yesterday, and as part of the preparation I watched Gregg Araki's "The Living End" which has a bunch of JD references (guy gets diagnosed as HIV-positive; the first thing he says is "I gotta stop listening to Joy Division records". Later, the same bloke tells his friend about Curtis's suicide, and claims that Ian hung himself by tying a rope aropund his neck and standing on a block of ice waiting for it to melt!?!?).

So, including the recent "Shaun of the Dead" and "24HPP", plus appearing on the soundtrack of (off the top of my head) "Salvation", "Pretty in Pink", "American Psycho", "The Wedding Singer", "Trainspotting", where else do NO/JD appear in the movies????

Married To The Mob ?

Really? Which tune????

Well i have a version of BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE (MARRIED TO THE MOB MIX) so i guess this could be it!

The Beach, tho I'm sure forgetting Brutal was just an oversight :)

That image was on an early Police single, which may have been Cant stand losin you. The block of ice was next to an electric fire

Something Wild, Reality Bites ( re-released soundtrack soon )and I suppose Salvation.:)

There's also Moby's cover of New Dawn Fades in "Heat"...

BLT again, I think. Quite a popular tune is old BLT in movie land.

Do JD get a namecheck in "High Fidelity" or am I halucinating again...?!

Didn't you once show me a James Herbert book where he'd chucked in a load of working titles, like Little Dead and Death Rattle? I could also be hallucinating, 3 pints of a Friday lunchtime can have that effect...

That must've been when I was a teenager - I can't remember back that long but it rings some distant bells.

Chances are that James Herbert didn't use those as an intentional nod towards New Order though...!!!

PS - I hope you're not driving

"True Faith" features on "Bright Lights Big City"

That was Nine Inch Nails covering Dead Souls. And there was a cover of IALP by Bush in the second Crow movie, I'm told. That recent Buffalo Soldiers movie had Blue Monday in it.

I'm wondering if New Order covers have appeared in films even more than the original songs?

Blade? I challenge you to identify any part of that travesty that is identifyable as from the original confusion. Or anything that sounds remotely like it.

just some wannbe cruising on the coat tails

temptation was on trainspotting.............

Yes indeed, my folks have the soundtrack CD (loved this song the second they played it, way back in...1994 )

Blue Monday was in Buffalo Soldiers

Shell Shock, Elegia and a n other in Pretty in Pink

and seeing as I missed that the above had already been mentioned, True Faith was in American Psycho, the disco scene before PAtrick Bateman says he's into murders and executions.

Here To stay was in some film called 24 Hour Party People.

Ah, there was another Gregg Araki movie that has NO on the soundtrack, Splendor, listed in the discography here, with BLT. Watched the movie once, and all I can recall is being bored with his style, though the soundtrack wasn't too bad.

At least he's no Derek Jarman! Actually Jarman's not that bad, but I watched "The Angelic Conversation" recently and it was AWFUL. Like a 60 minute Smiths video, minus the Smiths...and a lot more repetitious.

Not to be a trainspotter, but True Faith was at the very beginning of the movie, right after the credits. The scene you're talking about (almost near the end), features Information Society's "What's on Your Mind?"

Great movie, I highly recommend it to the uninitiated

When does it? I watch it the other day and never heard it and then it does not appear in the credits either.
