Just surfing around today, and I cam across this Hong Kong movie review of Gen -Y cops. There is an american actor (paul rudd) playing the role of Ian Curtis " The American side is represented by Paul Rudd as Ian Curtis, one of the FBI agents who has been given the "a-hole" role, "

Wonder were the writer got the idea for that name

Anyways, I was searching for more info about the Ian Curtis Biopic , I found Double A films website, but there was no info on the film. aafilms.com

I also came across this mp3 from a Band called Thursday. They wrote a song called 'ian curtis'

here are the lyrics: We listened to the open sound your voice projected on the radio dial Lie with me I said and lying's what she always did and always will. All these thoughts keep leading back to him. And no signs from Cinema. No city skyline. No paper scraps and no unfolding at five o' clock Your voice skips as it always did and always will All these thoughts keep leading back It's the light from your sunless room Scattered in pieces all around you. Recession of these thoughtless forms Reciting every line as a way of life and a way of death in time We heard Ian Curtis kill himself again in your bed. In these 24 hours we stretched into a room filled with "Heart and Soul." This is the way. Step inside and march in the procession of empty hearts. Love has torn us apart. It's a part of me a part of you in time we're falling apart together.

some cool allusions to some of Curtis' best lines in that one. Is the song as good as the lyrics?

Unfortunately, this song does not do justice as a tribute to Ian Curtis. It's just a run of the mill FM radio punk song, a la New Found Glory etc. where you can't even hear the lyrics. :nonono: Ian deserves so much better.

Yeah, I caught the Ian Curtis character in Gen Y Cops. I guess the scriptwriter has a thing for JD. Paul Rudd does a creditable job. On your other point - Thursday is a good band if you're in the middle of your teenage angst. Otherwise - well, we all grow up. The promotion sticker on that CD touts all kind of reference to JD. Check out Gen X Cops for a better read on the latest Hong Kong Mod Squad.
