The moral of the story

[zuropa_fit]

So Mr. Z and I watched Taken last night, a movie starring Liam Neeson about a former CIA-spy type guy whose daughter is, you guessed it, taken, kidnapped by a Ukranian sex ring while visiting Paris.

What does this have to do with U2 and the 360 tour, you ask? In his daughter's luggage, he found a map of Europe with major cities circled and dates next to each one. His ex-wife says "Oh yeah, she's following U2 around Europe on their tour. All the kids are doing it."

The moral of the story? Following U2 may lead to heroine-addicted prostitution. So be careful, y'all

I love U2 references in movies!!

 

[gvox]

What's even more hilarious is that I completely missed "U2" in that dialogue when I saw the film, just thought it was some random band...and looking at them looking at the map my mind flashed fwd into the Euro-road trip I had wanted to put together for, none other than, U2. Wild.

Liam Neeson as Jason Bourne just was a bit over the top for me

In the movie Hancock Jason Bateman's character makes a reference to Bono

I forget exactly what he says but something like

"Bono is the P.R. of......."

Can't remember

Don't B hating on Liam Neeson. He was good in that movie. I don't know if you've read the Bourne novels, but the guy is in his mid-fiftees.

They made him younger when they brought Matt Damon in...

I remember watching an episode of Gilmore Girls and Lauralie made a Bono reference. I think it was when they were on the Elevation Tour

I totally bought Mr. Neeson as the badass but the dialogue in that movie was really really really really really bad.

I was watching 'About a Boy' the other night with the missus, and was gutted to find we'd turned on after the point where they'd played Zoo Station. What's the point eh?

I am a major GG fan and I loved the show even more because the writer Amy Paladino was a huge fan of music, especially Bono and U2.
There are several episodes where Bono in particular is mentioned!
The first one was Lorelai's engagement party in season 1 and she's on the phone with her ex...he was trying to get her to describe her finace to him and he said, "don't tell me, he's like Bono" or something like that...
Then Loralei and Rory went travelling around Europe after Rory's H.S. graduation and they said after they got back that they staked out the Clarence Hotel waiting for Bono to show up!! That's when I knew Amy, the writer was a serious fan. Maybe she is a Pleban! She knew about the Clarence!
There's more but I'll stop.

Eh, she's probably just a casual fan who likes With Or Without You and was just going to sit there and text all her friends during the shows anyway.

She's only going to multiple shows because she's a total sheep who wants to rebel against mums and daddums and do whatever her friends tells her to.

Which is how you end up getting kidnapped and sold into sex slavery.

I've seen the movie "Taken." For those of you, who haven't. The band is only mentioned. There is no concert footage or anything like that. Still, not a bad film.
