Who wants some cheeeeeeese?
It might be just a trend but documentaries about bands seem to be a little too pompous sometimes. I don’t know if this one about Blur will be any good, but the trailer looks like Damon Albarn and his friends were not just a band but some kind of heroes who fought the nazis or discovered the cure for cancer.
