Anybody see this ? Interested in what you think. Saw it last night. As a big Beatle fan, I'm not sure I loved it. I generally don't like movies that are done in a "play" format. But it was interesting to see how they managed to make a story line out of Beatle songs.

No, but I did d/l & use some of the tracks (that should give AC his Friday chuckle).

I'm installing a Beatle virus on your PC that will delete the files. And, I am replacing rhem with 2 hours of Yoko singing.

I saw it. It was good, but it wasn't great. The puppets kind of weirded me out and the placement of some of the songs were strange. I'd watch it again.

But from the Across The Universe Soundtrack, I love "It won't be long". For some other very good Beatle covers, check out "Meet The Smithereens" and the soundtrack from "I Am Sam".

Pink is totally authorized to listen to Beatle covers, but you are officially under Magical Mystery Tour Probation...I'll be watching...I am The Walrus...koo koo ka joo.

I guess this isn't the time to mention that I also immensely dislike Joni Mitchell & the Eagles, eh?

Joni's an acquired taste, so popularity was never her interest. I'm very apathetic to The Eagles, especially since they got back together 10 years ago to do nothing except play stuff they played 35 years ago.

I always liked Don Henley as a soloist better. "Sunset Grill" is one of my "theme songs".
