I know it's been discussed before, but what a good documentary put together by James Nice. After watching footy all day, I needed to wind down and this was the perfect tonic. Some classic stories of the good ole days, all the Rob retractors should watch this. Really glad this was put together before Tony died and Peter Saville's summation at the end closed the story very nicely. The recollections from the Bury riot gig was great, Hooky wanting to go out and face the crowd on his tod had me pishing masel, as did Tony talking about Larry Cassidy and Larry Cassidy talking about Tony. Was never a massive fan of the other Factory stuff, but I may well try have a look for some stuff tonight. The only thing that could have made the documentary better would have been more music used as incidental background music and possibly adding a few more of the "players" to the story, but that's just nitpicking, it's a really good watch to those of you who havnae got this yet, hopefully there are plans for a more New Order based DVD next time. Cheers to John and Lorraine for the best birthday pressie I got this year ![]()

My son NUMBER TWO bought it me for XMAS.Lovely cover and the little anecdotes are quite funny in places.VINI gets a lot of stick.Will give it another viewing soon.![]()
Is that the one that's set up so you keep getting sent back to the menu to pick what bit to watch next, rather than letteing you sit down and watch the film? If so, I think there should be an option to just sit down and watch the film rather than being sent back to the menu all the time. Apart from that I enjoyed it.

Sounds like a dodgy copy, or where you drunk when you watched it? There is a chapter point menu, so there is a possibility you accessed that feature by mistake ![]()
Agree with Rocket on Vini getting stick, espescially from Larry, mind you, everyone gets a fair bit of stick all the way through, that's what made it so enjoyable.
