Rock n' Roll Stops the Traffic
Mar. 3rd, 2008 08:26 pmSo Sunday we decided to stick around the neighborhood, so we went for a small walk around Fisherman's Wharf (where we took random pictures), made a small stop at Barnes & Noble, and watched movies when we got back.
One of the movies we watched was a B&N purchase, U2: Rattle & Hum. I hadn't seen it since going to see it in Hadley with
head58, and I have to say the movie itself holds up surprisingly well. It's no brilliant piece of concert film, but it's a lot of fun to watch, and the performances are top notch. And of course, the cinematography is pretty damn impressive.
And one of the scenes I was waiting to watch again? This one:
This at Justin Herman Plaza, which is right across the street from the Ferry Building and at the foot of Market Street. Keep in mind, this was shot when the Embarcadero Freeway was still there (it got damaged in the '89 earthquake and was torn down soon after--you see it in the lower right corner about 1:05 in), but that BUTT UGLY FOUNTAIN they performed in front of is still there. And
emmalyon works literally two blocks away from that spot!
But yeah, I was surprised that the movie held up as well as it did. And I'm quite happy that I was able to pick it up for $9.99 and enjoy it again!
