Shut Up and Play The Hits

A concert film about the last performance of LCD Soundsystem.
Chuck Klosterman interviews James Mercer throughout the movie.
Klosterman asks a great, meandering question about how people are remembered for all their successes, but ultimately defined by their greatest failure.  He gives Michael Jordan as an example of someone who is remembered for all of his winning, but defined by his relentless competitive nature, even when that competitiveness worked against him.
Mercer, who had decided to stop LCD Soundsystem because it just felt like it was time to stop, replied that he feared his greatest mistake would be quitting the band, even thought that mistake was entirely his own decision and was influenced by zero outside factors.  Essentially, Mercer is committing his greatest mistake while knowing that he might be doing that anyway.
