  Dreary and Dull
  
  The husband seemed to like this, mind you he seemed to talk a lot through this. Was so bored I kept falling asleep.

  No Joy Division
  
  What can I say, but dull, dull, dull. How to take an interesting subject and make it utterly pointless and dull. Avoid like the plague!

  I expected to watch a documentary of the band talking, interspersed with their brilliiant songs. But after 40 minutes of chat I gave up.

  Not so Joy Division
  
  Very hard going not easy to stick with. Did I really know what had happened to Ian Curtis by the end.
