Laura and I went to see the U2:3D movie at the IMAX today.
WOW.
I’m not a huge fan (though I do like them), but this was fantastic. I don’t know how the hell they did it… the 3D effect was unbelievable. And the surround sound audio was stellar, too. It’s an entire 14-song concert from their 2006 “Vertigo” tour that was filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Completely worth the $12… probably one of the most amazing cinematic experiences I have ever had. Definitely better than being in the audience at the show.
Seriously.
Don’t miss it while you have the chance.
Awesome show. Better cause L was there with me, right next to the stage.

Wow.
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don’t care
Tonight
I’m in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I’m yours to keep
Do what you want
I’m going cheap
Tonight
You’re behind the wheel, tonight
