Shine A Light - coming to IMAX

Just got this email from the Melbourne Imax. Fingers crossed it makes it to the Sydney Imax. Shouldnt be a issue - most films are shown in both cities. Im stoked - thought id have to wait to see it on DVD.

STARTS MAY 29 (TBA) See the Rolling Stones as they've never been seen before! Filmed at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City in Autumn 2006, Martin Scorsese assembled a legendary team of cinematograohers to capture the raw energy of this legendary band.

From the reviews ive read it sounds like a great film - for the crazies as well as the casuals.

The official site has a trailer. I like Scorsese's films - havent seen them all though. My fav. has to be The Departed. And the clip to Michael Jackson's Bad has to be a top 25 music video of all time IMHO.

Paul sorted our tickets to see the U23d film at Imax in April. Im really looking forward to that. I enjoy the Imax viewing experience. But im not sure if Shine A Light is really needed on the huge/large/enormo screen. Id be happy just seeing it at an old movie theatre like the ones i used to go to as a kid - especially the Regent Theatre in Wollongong. Crap seats, crap screen, crap sound, crap staff, no parking, expensive food. Actually, fuck it - bring on Imax!

Heres a funny screen grab from the official site. Looks like X-tina's having a good time. But Mick?? Man - she was pregnant at the time. And you are triple her age. You could be her grandfather.
