Title: Control
Post by: Turf Out on June 12, 2008, 02:07:04 PM: I just watched 'Control' last night. I thought of Call-Screener Mike (i think that's his name) when Ian cracked a Smile while watching Stroszek.

I had to share this coincidence -- I was just (like half an hour before clicking the link above) looking at a design book that featured the logo and identity of Pathe!, whose logo artfully graces the screen at the beginning of said video. Well, ahem, anyway, I was kind of taken by this coincidence.
