What do you think will become of New order once the Joy Division movie hits, everyone will be poseing as like, say kids in high school tend to look at joy division, as a cool thing then. Cause people wont listin to Joy Division unless someone cools likes it, unlike me lol. so id say once a popular kid likes them its gonna spread and people are gonna start danceing and actin like Ian, and all that crap, and when i say i liked them first, no one will give a crap, you know what i mean lol

You're 16 and you like Joy Division? that's pretty cool mate. If and when the film comes out and it's a hit, you can introduce the music of JD to your friends. That will be your mission during your teenage years.
On a number of occasions I have had people tease the hell outta me for listening to certain stuff (groups and even entire genres). Then when it became popular I got retribution when I saw the very same stuff in their collections!
Make sure you get yours when the time comes. You'll have the inside track (pun intended).

I think a lot of people got into JD well before they turned 16, I didn't realise it was such cause for celebration. Besides, Spike told us all quite some time ago that when his friends found him listening to the delights of Ian Curtis, they called him "gay".
I felt sorry for the poor lad, until I woke up & realised that Spike is a mincing, no-spuds, lazy-typing, granny-snatching effeminite little fuckwit.
And I very much doubt that the forthcoming JD film will influence "the kids" anyway. You'll be lucky if it gets more than a limited theatre release in the United States.
AS I WAS SAYING, um I was into JD at 14 and New Order at 12, but though all this time if i ever say New Order or Blue monday, guess what i hear? Orgy and their version, everyone says its theirs, god i hate orgy lol but Donnie Darko gave some people a sight into JD and NO with LWTUA in the movie, Echo and B men got some coverage too

That's when I love it the most, little dude! 
I think this movie is going to get people into JD/NO as much as 24 hour party people. I sincerely doubt that in the United States, where rap and trite pop music rule the charts, that a movie about Joy Division will be distributed to most major theaters. Most people didn't even hear about 24HrPP when it came out 2 years ago, let alone become influenced to buy the music by the bands featured in the movie.

But we can always hope.
Yep, nada. First of all New Order is too lazy to be bothered with promoting themselves. That would be what other bands do and New Order is about doing what other bands do not do.
Secondly, the bling-bling rap/shithop music infests the soul of music in the USA. That and crap rock.

I'll come round to yours & borrow a cup of sugar.
I won't lie here. 24 Hour Party People got me into Joy Division. It was the first chance I really had to listen to it. I was already into New Order a bit before that film, but I only knew their classic hits.
Since the film I have got into clubbing so now Joy Divison/New Order music is all around me, if you go into a Manchester club there is a big chance you will hear BLT or LWTUA.
I think the film may influence people when they find out how good their music is. But then I guess you have to be into JD to want to see the film in the first place.

Hmmm. It's as much about the Mondays as it is JD, surely, and more about AHW than any band?
I let my friend listen to some of my Joy Division and he wants to burn all my cds now. Also prompted him to watch 24HPP. One converted. 
i made my friend rob watch 24hpp and he loved it and now he loves ian curtis and joy division, he always tries to dance like ian...its sad
Congratulations Spike. Not on the 300 posts but on successfully making a post with no spellling mishtucks. Won't mention the grammar and punctuation though !

Nice one. Maybe I'll see you around, it'll be good to find another New Order fan to talk with. :)
Originally posted by Spike we could go to starbucks and buy a latte and talk of Bernards Boobies lol
Er, riiiiiight. I wasn't aware Bernard had boobies, but then again, I never looked that closely. I'd rather get a coffee at Dunkin Donuts actually, their coffee is lovely jubbly! :p
