Title: And now for something completely different - a movie recommendation
Post by: oboe on March 24, 2022, 10:02:30 AM
"YESTERDAY" I saw this one quite a while ago but having a soft spot for the Beatles, it stuck with me. If you haven't seen or heard of it, it's worth a look. It's about a struggling musician, who while pedaling home on his bike with his guitar after his last unremarkable gig, gets hit by a bus after a blackout caused by a momentary power outage. His teeth knocked out, he makes a recovery-- but what he doesn't know is in that moment of the blackout, all the world's memory and knowledge of the Beatles is wiped clean - except for him.
His friend's purchase him a new guitar and take him to lunch, and this is where he learns no one has heard of the Beatles.

Outstanding film :)
The Beatles were the first boy band.

I enjoyed it, but I felt the ending was bad.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm not a Beatles fan but it looks like a good flick to check out.

I'm a fan of this group called "The Vapors", but I am outraged that it is not "The Vapours".
Interestingly, Wikipedia says that they used to play in a pub called the "Three Lions." And it turns out that I used to go to the Three Lions pub in Redmond, WA after AH scenarios, to recount glorious air battles with fellow scenario players.
I didn't see any of the Vapors there, though.
That was disappointing, so I moved to Tennessee.

I've heard it said once or twice long ago "the Beatles ruined America", though I wouldn't give them that much credit.

After this post, I pulled it up and tried to watch it. Was hard with such poor acting. Fifteen minutes is all I could stand. Good idea though.

As for the movie, I ordered it and watched it. Not bad. My wife didn't like it, but I thought it was decent. Not something I'd watch over and over, such as the 'kick in the face' scene from Billy Jack.
