She is a HARD-CORE christian music only listener. It was quite a feat on my part.<br/><br/>I was telling her to listen to the words, and how alot of thier songs had christian overtones, etc. Then, Bono drops the F-bomb. She was out immediately. <br/><br/>I still listen, but only if the wifey is not around. <br/><br/>BTW - front row for U2 should be worth at least 60 or 70 cool points!

“If only they had made a U2 version of Captain EO…”

I’ve been really spoiled by the awesome 3D movies at the Disney parks, so I wasn’t sure how this would compare.

Pros:
1)Music rocked! (of course)
2)Got to see some great detailed shots. Felt like you were there.
3)Completely not cheesy, except for the yellow glasses we had to wear.
4)Amazing when Bono looked right at me!

Cons:
1)I sort of missed the Disney-ish 3D gags that make you dodge objects, etc. (Bono didn’t even do his signature kicking of the camera!)
2)There could have been more up-close-and-personal shots with Bono =).
3)They left out City of Blinding Lights!

All in all, the most fun movie I’ve ever seen in a theater! Go see it, and make sure it’s an IMAX theater!

Especially the part about CD vetoing Hewson. haha<br/><br/>Um...+15 cool points for knowing why you like a band as epic as U2 and for camping out for front row seats. ;) This makes me happy.
