Octogenarians and Coldplay

I've never really liked old people. I guess I just can't relate to them and I work at a more frenetic pace than they do. I've never really been good with death (which I suppose is due in part to the few times I've had to deal with it). I'm just not a nostalgic, heartwarming type of person.

But this, there's nothing you can do with this.



I have an incredible love and respect for documentaries. To me, it's like very extended journalism that's captured on film and edited. From "March of the Penguins" to "Murderball" to "Hoop Dreams," some of the greatest films are devoid of fiction or ceremonious "based on true events" stories.

This film, called "Young@Heart," is about a choir group of octogenarians who sing modern-day songs from artists such as Coldplay, The Clash, and Radiohead. It's playing at Sundance right now and hopefully will be picked up by a major studio. All I've seen are that clip and a trailer, but I'd encourage you to see this movie once it comes out.

Even if you don't really like old people.
