U2’s long-time artistic contributor and U23D director, Catherine Owens, was quite clear during her press conference at the Cannes Film Festival last year that U23D would not be released to the home DVD market until the technology was available to fully experience the 3D quality of the film at home.
There must be some U2 fans over at Samsung as they’ve showcased at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 3D capable plasma televisions and a upconverting top box product called TriDef 3D, which comes with handy 3D glasses and everything!
Who thought that the technology would catch up so quickly? Who wants to make a new year’s prediction that we’ll have U23D at home within the next 12 months? (I’m not a betting woman, and I haven’t any clue what the odds would be on that!)

Happy New Year everyone! Thanks to the wonders of the Internet and YouTube, a few folks have put together their own unofficial video versions of “Mercy.” Here’s one who has done a mashup of concert footage - it should be noted the song has not been performed live, nor has it been officially released. The song may evolve into something different when it is officially released. As with the many others, the song is (c)U2.
I had never seen this before. I imagine their issues/criticisms would be similar to what any other non-fan might think of the movie. (Thx to Spoutnik for sharing this link in our forum.)
The “Red Hill Mining Town” video is finally available for all to enjoy - the video that’s been in U2’s vaults for two decades. If you’re like me, there was something “Holy Grail” like in obtaining this video…in trading circles, anyone who could score a copy of this was guaranteed their pick of the video trade, and in U2’s good judgment, it was wise to wait until now to release it.
OfficialU2 on YouTube has put it up in advance of the 20th Anniversary re-release of The Joshua Tree - so, here it is in all its glory.
I just have one thought - why is it that Larry’s the only one doing the hard labor?
Comedy Central’s South Park has taken the piss out of Bono’s crap - seriously. The episode first aired last night, and will rebroadcast tonight at 10 p.m.
