MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL
Rented the M$H last night. Enjoyed it the first time and enjoyed probably more the second. Despite the varied but mostly trashy reviews it's had, I do actually think this is a pretty good piece of film. There are some parts early on that seem to be a little slow but by the end it all comes together nicely and well, after watching it again, it was easier to make sense of it all and work out was was actually going on. It's evident the story was largely written by Bono. I thought alot of the poetry, dialogue and ideas in the film were very typically him. The ideas of televsion vs reality, love vs betrayal, normality vs chaos, life vs death.

Wow..After I jumped it occured to me life is perfect, life is the best, full of magic and beauty, opportunity..and television!... and surprises, lot's of surprises, and then there's the best stuff of course better than anything anyone ever made up..Cause It's Real.
