U2-3D
Oh man, oh man... it was WAY too cool. With U2 being my all time favorite band I had to go see the 3D movie. Now although it wasn't as good as seeing them live it was way cool. Bono in 3D in your face is never a bad thing. He took off his glasses a few times and that was just weird. I am not sure I've ever seen him without his shades. Well, I don't want to ruin anything for you so I won't say anything else. It was just way cool. Ignore any negative reviews you read. :0)~ Also on another musical note (ha-ha) the soundtrack to "I am Not There" (dylan biopic) is really great too.
ok, a few more thoughts on the U2 movie. One thing to know is it is an hour and a half ALL in 3D. So watch out. It will rock your world. I was listening to a JR Woodward (Kairos) teaching recently about "Is Bono a prophet." You should check it out sometime. You can also check out his blog on the subject at http://www.jrwoodward.net/jrwoodward/2006/02/is_bono_a_proph.html You might agree with it but you might not. But for me, yes Bono is a modern day prophet in a loose sense of the word. Bono is not sitting on his rock-n-roll butt and preaching but doing nothing. He is out there meeting with politicians, heading up campaigns to serve the underserved, writing and preforming songs that make you think and even lead people towards Christ, stretching our conservative beliefs. He's an activist. He's connected to our culture. I liked this comment by JR, "We must learn to embody the truth in a way that connects with our culture. Bono causes me to increase my desire to know Christ and to know the culture." I don't agree with all of Bono's views, but then again I don't agree with all of Mark Hagen's views either. But I sure respect them both. One topic that I've heard come up often with Bono is the idea of "coexist" with the letters of coexist being the symbols of different religions. Now how does that work out? Isn't there only one way to heaven? Well, yes. Thats not what the Coexist campaign is about. It seems to be about peace and stopping war. But I don't want to go too deep here about all that. Anyway. Bono and his songs do make me think, and often act. I want to act more often.
