George and Paul during the making of Anthology (1995) from the Now and Then, The Last Beatles Song (2023)
this movie was hot garbage but whoever played george deserved an oscar
I'm so normal about Banshees of Inisherin
Every friend group should include:
Crying my eyes out when I started watching the Now and Then documentary.
The video started with Come Together's opening riff, how symbolic is that?
"I am ready to sing for the world." John Lennon says, not something we heard for the first time.
But still it made me cry.
I really lost it when John's voice came through with the help of technology. Paul announcing and "then, there it was John's voice crystal clear":
and know it's true, it's all because of you. And if I make it through, it's all because of you.
And then with the additions of Paul's bass, Ringo's drums, George's guitar, violins and orchestra in beatlesque fashion, of course it's going to be amazing.
It's the last Beatles record.
How gut wrenching and beautiful. Four lads from Liverpool still conquering the world in 2023.
Beatles and Rolling Stones fandoms maybe I am wrong but it seems to me as far as I can tell there are lot of speculations about the relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, they are known as the glimmer twins, confirmed by their ex girlfriends and strenghtened by an episode about Mick Jagger and David Bowie, is less but much less famous than mclennon (John Lennon and Paul McCartney). I am not a Rolling Stones fan, I like some songs but I don't particulary know their biographys, the exact history of the band, only the fact Mick Jegger is the classic old rocker who older he gets and younger women he dates...and drugs obviuosly the Rolling Stones lived the 60's fully. It's because they are controversial? You don't like something they did? Or because stereotypically the Beatles had a larger female fandom while the Rolling Stones a male one and a lot of women use media Tumblr, blogs, fanfiction's sites etc and men don't care or don't want face this kind of discussion?
I found this photo of john n paul holding hands from august 65’
Brief opinion on Midas Man: it's a television movie that's it, not extremely bad but not good either, mediocrer at best. The script was unfortunately flat practically a wikipedia page without insight, I didn't expect they would explore really dark situation or the controverse relationship between Brian and John...but all the relationships Brian have in the movie with his family, friends, the Beatles are superficial not explored. The invented Tex guy was boring, their love story not build and in the first minutes it's so obvious he is using him and we don't particulary know what kind of person is. It's a pity for all the older actors involved because they are veterans british actors, talented people which is not given a good material. Jacob Fortune Lloyd is great in the role you can see how much effort, passion and subtlety put in hi work but the script is unfair to him, one of the only scenes I really liked was with George Martin (a really good casting), because it's possible to see the glimps of what kind of men they are, unfortunately after that scene the movie doesn't show us how they worked behind the scenes. The Beatles are reduced as funny extras again I am repetitive but the friendship he had with them is not explored, he was their manager, he created their image, he toured with them for years, he was protective and cared for them, it's a waste the actors reached a good energy vibe cheeky students who befriend their akward but cool young teacher. Blake Richardson is one of the best Paul McCartney, Jonah Lees as John I think he was too much critised I didn't find him stereotypical at all, yes he is short but I don't particulary care, I am much more focused on interpretation, John Lennon is a very difficult person to play and many older actors failed to play him right. He was a good young John Lennon, nuanced and he studied John expressions, he showed his silly side, his more pensive side, Jonah Lees deserved better. Leo Harvey-Elledge and Campbell Wallace they were in the scenes nothing more nothing less, I surprisingly liked Adam Lawrence as Pete Best, he is not painted as a bad guy you feel sorry for him, he has presence in the way you feel him different and disconnected from the group. Cilla Black I don't know how she was so I can't do a comparison, she is a nice presence in the movie but as said before she is flat as the others characters. It's not a terrible film, is not unwatchable nothing like that howevere fails in his intentions to tell Brian Epstein, as a beatles fan I advise you to watch him at least for Jacob Lylod, maybe when you are alone during lunch or dinner, the pace is smooth
The wigs were terrifying, the production problems are crystal just watching John hair: at the begin red, then brown and in the end red again. George's wig who is red for some reason and Paul's moustache are a litteral crime
I don't know why I have these vibes
The Beatles having breakfast together, 1965. I’d never seen this one before the other day. Just look at Ringo’s scruffy bed head and John in his Buddy Holly glasses, ugh, they’re so adorable.
