24 Hour Party People

Its been discussed to death but I watched it again last night for the first time in a while so...

I loved it. Again. Its wildly innacurate, populated with too many comedians and its got The Jam in it (wankers) but its hearts in the right place. I didnt realise it when I started the DVD off but it was the first time Id watched it since we lost Tony Wilson which gave the final Hacienda scene a bit more punch. Aah, well.

I still haven't see it yet. I caught a preview of it and it had a flying saucer in the air. That kind of turned me off about the whole thing. Make no mistake - love sci-fi. I just questioned the tone of the film. Is it satirical, or (as you say) wildly inaccurate? I know Mr. Wilson was a bit eccentric...

Theres a line in the film where Wilson is accused of taking himself too seriously, well, this film doesnt.

The UFO had to do with Sean Ryder meeting Bez for the first time.

Yeah a bit inaccurate but entertaining. Certainly not the downer Control is.

I blame bloodynora 👍

it does have a cunt in it, yes. and a ho.

and a special problem named after it too.

we not only have a train station, but in 2005 the loos on platform one were voted the best station toilets in britain by the british toilet association. we try to be modest about it.

I bet there isn't a Pen Island there though. Now what's that web address?
