U23D

I just got back from seeing the U2 movie in 3D. WOW!!!!!! It was unbelievably good. You were able to see the show from such interesting perspectives. From the front row, from the drummer’s perspective, from above the drummer, flying in on the cable cameras, and more. It was perfect looking and the 3D stuff was actually really cool and it was easy to lose yourself in it.

One time Bono is inches from you and it feels like he is looking right into your face. So cool. The sound had great clarity but it could have been a bit louder.

But just seeing U2 on the huge Imax screen in 3D was so awesome.

Even if you aren’t a huge U2 fan like I am, I highly recommend seeing the film. It’s visually stunning and you will learn why so many people love this band. You almost feel the same emotion as you would at a live show. So you can sit down in a comfy seat and pay only $15 and get a 75% U2 experience. Enjoy!

U2 in the Movies

I can’t wait for this movie to come out. Click and hold the U23D logo on the widget for 15 seconds and then let go. A window will pop up. The code to type in is U23D. Then a secret video will come up. I paid $40 for that code with my U2.com membership. It’s my gift to you.

You know what I want??

A new U2 album and a tour. That would make my day, no my year.

Happy Birthday Bono!!

Thanks to Ryan Walton for reminding me of this, but can we all just stop and sing Happy Birthday to one of the greatest men of all time! 47 years old and he is still the coolest cat in any room.

Bono the Knight

Bono was knighted today by the Brits, but you can’t call him “Sir Bono” or “Sir Paul Hewson” because Ireland is not part of the British Commonwealth.

Check out the U2.com story here and the Yahoo story here.

It’s about time. This man should be called “sir” by the Queen of England and the President of the United States and any of my U2-hater friends.

For the Reverend Martin Luther King, SING

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love…
