    I saw the film in the cinema when it first came out and it NEVER looked this
    good on the big screen.
    This is something special. Superb

    By the way - Bono´s lips and singing are STILL not properly synchronized with the
    song that is playing. LOL
    It was all over-recorded back in the studio after they did the photo-shooting.
    What film are you talking about?
  3. Interesting that is the long version of the video from "Outside It's America", rather than the "shorter" version that was on MTV and VH1.
  4. Looks stunning! U2 are really doing a great job with these 4K remasters.

    90s soon
  5. I hope they will give us the full video

  7. Luv Edge's playing on IGC.
  8. I remember reading the following week in N.M.E about how they bought Downtown L.A to a stand still playing live on a rooftop of a Liquor store. The Joshua Tree had just been released a few weeks earlier if memory serves me right. I thought they're back. Had to wait until July the 4th when U2 played in Paris and Channel 4 premiered the Streets video before they showed a few songs from that outdoor gig. Good and exciting times watching them grow before they went truly global.

    Plot
    A group of very different people live in a hotel in Los Angeles, California including the romantically involved Tom Tom (Davies) and Eloise (Milla Jovovich). The events that unfold are the result of the death of an important resident, the son (Tim Roth) of a billionaire media mogul. His father commissions an FBI agent (Gibson) to look into his death.

    Production
    The story was originally developed by Bono in 1987 when filming the music video for "Where the Streets Have No Name". The movie had an estimated budget of $8 million, but opened to only $29,483 in US box office, with little more success in subsequent weeks or in other countries.[1] It also received very poor reviews, obtaining 25 of 100 on Metacritic[2] and 25% on Rotten Tomatoes,[3] although it won the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2000. In an October 2000 press conference in Sydney, before the Australian release of the film, Mel Gibson said, "I thought it was as boring as a dog's ass." He later explained:

    It was at the end of a day where I had done 6,000 interviews, some guy was ragging on the film and it just slipped out. Later, I thought 'God, why did I say that? I'm an idiot! I produced this film. I'm distributing it!' It was pretty thoughtless of me, because a lot of people worked very hard on that film, and the fact is there are moments of genius in it. The soundtrack is by U2, and it's phenomenal. So I really regret saying that. I have written a lot of apology letters about it.[4]
