I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Wow.. finally got around to seeing this last night. Beautifully shot with wonderful performances by all involved. Sam Riley absolutely nails Ian Curtis. That being said... be sure to bring some Paxil with your popcorn because this movie is depressing as hell. Not just in the way you know that it ends, but in its overall presentation. I still can't shake some of the images out of my head.

    Whether or not you're a fan of Joy Division, it's really hard to deny how powerful this movie is.

    I told you the turnaround on my Blockbuster service was atrocious. Maybe I should go back to Netflix.
