Going to the movies is always a delight for me, but it seems like lately there has been an increased amount of synchronicity between film and U2.
A few weeks back, after I saw Hancock, I posted this spoiler-free blog regarding a Bono joke that appears early in the film.
And now, I’m pleased to report that one of the most pivotal scenes in the French film Tell No One involves a U2 connection (I’m just not gonna tell you how, and keep this all spoiler-free).
I can safely say that with or without the U2 reference, it’s a brilliant movie and if it’s playing in a theater near you, well, I’d recommend you get to it!

They’re everywhere. Don’t know how they do it, but they do.
Apparently the movie Taken has an important U2 reference as well. I’ll see it either way, cuz I’m a sucker for Liam Neeson. In the meantime, I’ll store these away as evidence for the on-going “I’m not the only U2 fan” argument.
I had to share this with one of the u2 sites. I had an extraordinary chance meeting with a very close friend of Bono’s on Saturday (26 July 2008) night in a bar in the outskirts of Dublin. He informed me that the album IS in fact going to be titled “No Line on the Horizon”. He also said that they have NO plans to perform in the newly renovated Point Depot and he added that the film crew in Cadiz are actually filming for a new i-pod commercial which Paul McGuinness has been instrumental in putting together with Steve Jobs over the past few months.
I did see the movie last year (French w/o subtitles). It is indeed a great movie, and probably the best use of a u2 song in a movie with a nice tie to the story.
Though we have heard many u2 songs a zillion times, it is when you least expect them that they are even more moving or powefull (I was at the grocery store a few weeks ago and they started playing With Or Without You and it gave me goosebumps).
