use the word anton in a sentence: win a prize (control dvd contest)



i have a copy of control to give away. the dvd is being released in early june. control is anton corbijn's first feature film. it is a biopic of joy division singer ian curtis. this movie is supremely human and it left me with a very hollow feeling after i watched it. anton told this story very carefully i think and without adding too many "hollywood" details or personality traits to the characters. this is good.

aside from control, certainly there are lots of other reasons i *might* love mr. corbijn.

*contest*
if you would like to have the dvd, please leave a comment using the word "anton" in a sentence. if i don't have your email, you can either leave it in the comments or come check back on wednesday, may 28, when the winner will be picked.


the control dvd synopsis: fighting a personal battle with epilepsy, romantic troubles with his wife and girlfriend, and the overwhelming success of the band, ian curtis, the enigmatic singer of joy division, commits suicide at the age of 23, the night before embarking on an american tour.

control dvd special features: audio commentary with director anton corbijn · the making of control · out of control: a conversation with anton corbijn · extended live concert performances - transmission, leaders of men, candidate · "transmission" music video by joy division · "atmosphere" music video by joy division · "shadowplay" music video by the killers · still gallery · theatrical trailers

StANTON-Miranda's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart is almost better than the original.

"Hello, Anton? This is the Bono. Could you come over and photograph my extraordinary new haircut? Paparazzi photos are not doing it justice, unfortunately. I believe that some of my fans are craving the kind of gritty, sepia-toned textural honesty that only your photographs can provide."

Anton - wasn't he the bum character from In Living Color?

I really dig the Killers' cover of Shadowplay.

This guy calls the waiter to complain, "There's a fly in my soup". The waiter says, I'm very sorry sir, I meant to put an ANT ON."
