HELLO HELLOOOOO!!!

Most people have heard, if not from me, then from word of mouth , that U2 has released a new movie shot entirely in new digital 3D. As of now, it was screened at Sundance, and has been in limited release. This limited release includes Denver...Needless to say, I just drove my ass down to South Denver the first chance I got and saw it. The movie consists of footage from several overseas concerts, mostly in South America, strewn together to feel like one show. The coolest part is that they didn't rely on a bunch of tacky visual effects of stuff flying at you randomly. Aside from a few parts where they used text coming at you to evoke emotion, they simply filmed the show, and let it speak for itself.

I don't think I have to tell you, but I loved it.

Anyone who knows me would expect nothing less. I was told I had a stupid grin glued on my face the entire time. I believe it. It's as close to actually being at one of their shows as you can be, without actually going. If you're a fan, and you've never had the chance to see them live then you should definitely see this. If you have seen them, then you know what you'd be missing if you don't go see this.

Spud should go see this if he can pull a Houdini.
