U23D - too intense for old people?

[dronomophone]

Hey guys. I'm going to go see it two weekends from now at the IMAX with my brothers (it'll be my third time seeing it by then) and my grandparents want to come too. They're in their 70s. Do you think it's too intense?

 

[dronomophone]

just to clarify, i haven't seen it yet.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

they can handle the drama but the action scenes are a little violent. bring a colastomy bag.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

i dunno... I had to close my eyes during the part with the gimp...

 

[corianderstem]

Too much blood spattering everywhere.

My boss wanted to know if it would be appropriate for her kids (she knows how Bono can let loose with some f-bombs now and again), and was thrilled by my report that she'd be fine to take them.

 

[xaviMF22]

well no cause Bono is old

so old people are safe

Well I just read on CNN that the shaky camera is making people feel nauseous and having to leave the theatre.









Oh wait, that's Cloverfield.

Oh wait, that's Cloverfield.

identical plot as U23D... True story.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

is it true that midway through cloverfield the monster stops and informs the audience about the african aids epidemic?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

[elevated_u2_fan]

is it true that midway through cloverfield the monster stops and informs the audience about the african aids epidemic?

also true... he clicks his claws together every second to signify another life lost... it's very moving

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think we're all forgetting another important question here:

Is it too rad for mom and dad?

 

[pepokiss]

a 40 foot arse?...


maybe

 

[europop2005]

Does U2 smother the audience in boiling coffee and cream ala Deathklok?

 

[Varitek]

I heard Deathklok was opening on the Annhilation tour.

 

[LMP]

is it true that midway through cloverfield the monster stops and informs the audience about the african aids epidemic?

Or he'd give everyone a terrible case of crabs.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[LMP]

i got worms. no no that's what we're gonna call it. i got worms.

[Axver]

thanks for the straight answer guys.

You actually expected one? With all the joke U2 3D threads, this really fitted in quite well.

 

[dronomophone]

yeah i guess i deserved this

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

at least you were a good sport about it

Do they like U2? Or rock in general? My dad is 68 and he can't wait to go, I'm taking him Sunday. But he's always been a rock music fan. He went to Beatles and Stones concerts in the 60's, while I got babysat at home

 

[swandiver]

I applaud your grandparents for wanting to go!

Honestly, I tend to get a little seasick but had no problem with this -- if they do, they can shut their eyes for a few seconds.

Have a great time!
