U23D is coming to Finland, yay!

[hcbiggs2002]

I just got the news from u2finland that U23D is coming to Finland either in May or August of this year. Two new 3D movie theatres are being opened this year, one in May in Hämeenlinna and the other in Espoo in August! And the first full-lengh movie will be shown in Hämeenlinna in May, but they've yet to say what movie!
So we U2 fans here in Finland, are keeping our fingers crossed that it'll be U2s movie!!

Awesome!! You're going to love it.

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Thanks and yes I'm sure I will. I'm just hoping that the movie will be shown in Hämeenlinna, coz it's slightly closer to my home town than Espoo. And even to Hämeenlinna it's about a 300 km journey which will mean a 24 hour journey by car-bus-train-local train (yes all four means of transport!) there and back and I'll probably also have to stay over night at my aunts place in Tampere. But I'm sure the inconvience will be all well worth the effort!

It's about time for sure. It's ridiculous that we've had to wait this long really. Now I just have to hope that I will be able to go if and when the movie will be shown here...stupid real life getting in the way of all things fun!

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Yeah, I know what you mean! Coz if the movie is released already in May in Hämeenlinna, then that means I might have to miss a couple of days off school and take a couple of sick days!

How are you going to get to Hämeenlinna? I know that, if you're planning on using public transport, it'll be even more awkward, and probably just as long as journey as it will be for me, coz there's no direct train connection from where you live.

 

[mysterious_jen]

WOW i feel for you having to make such a long journey, but i tell you it will be SO SO SO SO worth it . make sure you see it as many times as you can !


good luck

Well, if I go there I just take the train south - I have to change the train a couple of times but I'll be there in less than 5 hours. I'd prefer Espoo though as I have friends there, but we'll see. May is really busy for me because of my thesis, so I'm not planning too much in case I won't be able to go after all.

It will be very well worth it HCBiggs!!...if you get a chance try to see it twice ((trust me you will want to)) because there are many things you either want to see again or something that you didnt catch the first time........IT IS AMAZING!!!

 

[turhaton]

I heard about this too and I'm so excited I went to see it in London and it was GREAT - I have to see it again!

Hämeenlinna is a bit far though... Well, my dad's a fan too, so with some luck he'll drive me there

Yeah, I'm a spoiled kid

 

[Lobe]

Lucky you!! I'm beginning to think that we're not going to watch U23D here in Spain...

 

[Carek1230]

U23D is soooooooo worth any effort to go see it, I promise you! I miss it actually, it seems so long ago already that it debuted and played here in my fair city. I guarantee you will want to see it more than just once too!

 

[Caroni]

CONGRATS!!!! Great news !!

Really, any chance I could hitch a ride?! So you joined u2F like I recogmended?

And I do hope I will get to see the movie more than once but I can only make one trip to Hämeenlinna. I just can't afford the expense, time and inconvience! I can only hope that the movie theatres in Finland, including my home town Kuopio, will soon follow suit and bring the 3D technology to their movie theatres!

 

[BonoFox1]

^Yeah that is what I meant Helen, that if you get to see the movie try to see it a second time so it will be worth the trip

Well, I live in Salo, so coming to pick you up from Kuopio would be a bit of a detour... but hey, we'll see

I actually haven't yet joined, I totally forgot. I'll go and join right away!

Oh I see! I thought you lived further north!! Anyway, I was only joking, sort of! And just by coincidence I have a long time friend and pen pal who lives in Salo!

And about u2F, plans are now going ahead to make it an official fan club with a proper forum etc. So more the members the merrier!! Also there's a new U2 book that has been written and edited by us u2F members who have contributed articles and essays, yours truly included, due out soon, called U2: 4 kovaa Dublinista (1976 - 2008). Look forward to seeing you there!

Hey, a detour would be totally worth it because you can pick me up as well, I'm from Savonlinna!

 

[Purplereign]

^^ I can't believe how far you have to travel to see this - but agree with everyone who has said YOU WILL IT!

I'm sure that it will eventually make its way all around the world - judging by most of the screening runs so far, all have been extended so its proving to be a popular 'go see' event even for non U2 fans

Enjoy enjoy enjoy

I'm starting to think we have to rent a bus

Hey, I have the one that came out in 2005! Oh well, actually I lent it from the library half a year ago. They haven't asked it back yet so I'm in no rush in returning it

That actually might not be such a bad idea, we could then pick my friend Hanna (my U2 concert going buddy!) up from Kajani and after picking up Ava, then also my other U2 pal Eija and her husband from Riihimäki!!
