Shaun Ryder on 24 hour party People

SR - his left arm was all over the place and he looked v. bloated. i agree about it being an advert and was disappointed that so few factory groups were involved

I liked the bits where wilson repeatedly called himself a twat made me smile, ryder did look totally f**ked his could barely talk as well bez looked more worse for wear than the last time he was on telly too. Has anyone seen the film yet? I'm in two minds as to bother as john sim and ralph little both really get on my tits... the book which i bought in a fit of 'need to read' madness was shit too

Saw the film on Sunday before the documentary in a cinema which allows beer drinking, which probably helped.

I really enjoyed the film, but as many reviews have pointed out it seems like a collection of sketches with Steve Coogan as Alan Par... Sorry: Tony Wilson (Aha!) dominating as "a minor character in my own story" I liked the cameos, and the way documentary footage was cleverlyish spliced into the film inna JFK stylee. It helps that it has a good soundtrack, and I'll definitely watch it again at some point. I'd forgotten what a class track 24 Hour Party People was until listening to it again on the title credits.

As regards Shaun Ryder, he really looked like a more fucked up Ozzy, and looked all the world like someone not long of this world, maybe it was a bad day as he looked fine doing his cameo in the movie thou

He used to use the phrase 'Fried chicken' as a code for arm-up. But now it seems it's a code for, er, fried chicken. Coke bloat, anyone?

Was that not his brother Paul with the cameo in the film? Otherwise drugs have done something very strange to his face.

enjoyed the film last month fantastic, was it just me or did phil saxe not get a mention?, or fuckin graham massey?, saxe took the mondays to the brink, maybe cos he doesnt like pork?
