Am I old, or just a geek?



So I heard this article on NPR yesterday about the new movie U23D. I was captivated by the review, and was instantly eager to see it. There are two things that really grabbed my interest. One: The Music of U2 in a well filmed concert movie. Two: a well done 3-D movie with content aimed at an audience above their teens.

So does this mean that I am old, because I really like U2? Or are younger hipper (as if that's really a word with any contemporary relevance) people interested in U2 these days also. Hmmm. I feel old, just asking that question.

Alternatively, it could just mean that I am a geek. The idea of 3-D movies has always been interesting to me for some inexplicable reason. I even liked the "It's a bugs life" show at Disneyland (or was it California Adventure...whatever), because of its 3-D effects, cheesy as some of them were. Guilty pleasure I guess.

Maybe I am both, if I have to wonder. Oh well. I guess one simply has to embrace what one is. So, if I am an old geek, I am an old geek. But I still want to see U23D. Now I just have to find a local IMAX, and no the science center doesn’t count. That is an OmniMAX theatre, and in my option, IMAX movies are very hard to watch there.
