all of Andrew Scott’s scenes as Paul McCartney from that one awful biopic

I spent hours trying to get around copyright and corrupted files and my basic inability to get any of my editing software to work to upload this proof that we got the best Paul along with the worst John and I’m never going to get over it.

THE YELLOW SUBMARINE SAILS AGAIN!

AN UNOFFICIAL SEQUEL TO THE STORY BY JOHN LENNON and LEE MINOFF.

Chapter 1

Years after the Beatles saved Pepperland from the Blue Meanies, Ringo Starr was digging through his boxes of merchandise and Beatles memorabilia when he realizes that one of the boxes was missing a lot of stuff.

Confused, Ringo searched his entire house, but the box was nowhere to be found. He then decided to call his friends, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, to see if they had any idea what had happened.

When the Beatles arrived at Ringo's house, they were all just as baffled as he was. They searched the house again, but the box was still missing.

"This is weird," says John. "Where could it have gone?"

"I don't know," says Paul. "But we need to find it. There's a lot of valuable stuff in that box."

"Maybe it was stolen," says George.

"But who would steal a Beatles's personal items? My Sgt pepper suit was in there!" asks Ringo.

The Beatles were stumped. They didn't know what to do.

Then, Ringo looked at the box, and remembered something.

"Hey, guys," he says. "Remember that half-a-hole that Jeremy gave me?"

"Yeah," says John. "What about it?"

"I think it might have something to do with the missing contents" says Ringo.

"How?" asks Paul.

"Well, I remember that one time, I shrunk the hole to fit in my pocket," says Ringo. "Now, what if… that hole was in this box, at the bottom, and the stuff got sucked in?"

"That's possible," says George. "But how are we going to get it back?"

"I don't know if this will work," says Ringo. "But I have an idea."

he grabbed the hole, and explains.

“Now, remember when I shrunk this down to pocket size?” Ringo asks, with a smirk.

“Yeah, I guess so” says John.

“Well, what if, theoretically, I could grow it, and we could go through after our missing materials?” Ringo asks.

“Y’know, that sound’s brilliant!” Paul tells him.

“Well thanks, here goes nothing…”

All Beatles biopics should be direct-to-tv movies that have terrible accent work, a budget of £3, homosexual (sub)text, and an obscure character from their past acting as an advisor.

Thoughts on ‘The Birth of the Beatles’

I watched this 1979 biopic originally early in my obsession (you know, lo five months ago or so) and it was interesting to look at it again having read and learned and thought a lot more. And I’ve been mulling it over the past few days, because it’s interesting.

I don’t love biopics of this nature, where it’s just “this event happened then this event and then this one.” You don’t actually learn anything you couldn’t get from a wiki entry, and it’s invariably far less accurate. This movie does not dispel that at all. It’s a pretty straightforward narrative of the newly-formed band going to Hamburg, coming back, meeting Brian, scoring their first hit. It skips over some stuff and gets some stuff wrong, of course. And most of the actors seem to have been chosen for a distinguishing feature that’s kinda like a feature the guy they’re playing has. (George, actually, looks the closest and is pretty dang cute.)

But aside from the general, there are some interesting aspects. Interesting given that it was made in the late seventies, it seems to be on the “John is the best” train, and quickly it becomes apparent that John is the lead character. By the end, it’s clear that this is The John Story. John is So Good, y’all. He is a good leader. And a good friend. And he even gives a very encouraging speech to Brian about how any love is good and you shouldn’t be ashamed of love in any form! It’s very nice. Except for how they do the “We’re going to the top!” bit but get it wrong, which is baffling.

Like many biopics of this nature, characters sort of drift in and out when necessary, so Cyn is a thing when it’s convenient, and just sort of pops up. Stu is there, and important, and he dies, but when he does John makes a heartfelt speech from the stage--they’ve already done the toilet seat madness bit earlier on. Mimi pops up at the end to be appalled by the scene in the hotel room as they’re finally about to make it, because Paul (of course) has a girl stripped down to her slip in there. I’m not exactly sure what is being foreshadowed here but it does feel portentious?

Speaking of Paul, while he’s a bit more marginal than I would have expected I do think this film does him a service by making him fucking weird and not at all a goody goody and there are some actually good bits with him being just as annoying as John. At one point he rides George like a pony with a mop in one hand in order to get John’s attention so he’ll cut class, which is all right with me. He is not my favorite Paul but his eyebrows are quite decent and for a side-man version of McCartney I will accept it.

But I think the absolute BEST thing about this film is the fact that Pete--yes, Pete Best--was the only actual band member who was consulted on the making of the film. Granted, that’s probably because none of the other guys wanted any part of this, but the result is stunning. Did you know? Pete Best taught Ringo everything he knows. Pete Best was the best drummer you’ve ever seen. Pete Best was only let go because he was just TOO POPULAR in Liverpool. The bias is truly glorious. There’s literally two scenes of Pete Best epic drum soloing, one of which prominently features Ringo watching avidly, soaking it all in.

All in all, this film is not actually instructive to true Beatles fans, especially in an age where we have more than one biography and the actual footage is available on Youtube. However, it’s a really interesting relic of an age where there really wasn’t that much out there: Compleat Beatles wasn’t out yet, and Anthology is ages away. Shout hadn’t even been published. John was still alive and really, things were fairly quiet in Beatledom. I was pretty dismissive upon first viewing, because I didn’t feel I learned anything I didn’t know. But on further reflection, I’ve realized that while it’s not actually a good movie, it does tell us something interesting about how the legend of this band was formulating, 9 years or so after its demise, and with considerably less information than we are now able to access just through a google search.

#beatles films #beatles biopics #birth of the beatles #i'm so glad i watched it again actually #because I was able to analyze it against my accumulated knowledge #and confirm Paul's weirdness #bless them #also i know i said it a lot but PETE BEST CONSULTED ON THIS FILM AND IT SHOWS LIEK WHOA #kris talks a lot

I was sorta working on a sequel to Yellow Submarine, but it got deleted at some point, but I remember the plot!

Ringo is digging through his boxes full of merchandise and Beatles memorabilia when he realizes one of the boxes are missing lots of stuff from it.

After further investigation, it was revealed that it had went missing due to the Half-a-hole Jeremy gave him, and so he calls his friends with an idea.

They come over, and Ringo explains how he had at one point shrunk the hole to fit in his pocket, and so it's obviously growable, but when he grows it, it becomes a swirly psychedelic vortex, and sucks them in.

After a bit of an argument, the trip through the quantum tunnel is finished, and they fall and land on old colorful outfits in Pepperland Museum of Musical history.

After a bit of looking around, he spots the tour guide, Jeremy the nowhere man, telling people about the Beatles, and saying how much he misses them, Jeremy then looks over, and there they are!

This is all I wrote, but I do intend to write more very very soon...

ideal beatles biopic is an extremely goofy satire nothing-is-serious improvised musical comedy and then randomly in the middle is an artistically shot five minute long gay sex scene and then they never address it again

#like in the film wet hot american summer where it’s just absolute shits and giggles then BAM bradley cooper getting fucked #the sex scene could be with any combination of them and i would find it highly entertaining #the beatles #beatles biopics #paul mccartney #john lennon #mclennon #john and paul #beatles polycule #george harrison #ringo starr
