'Fifth Beatle' Biopic Lands Music Rights, Funding
Wait, what? So these are the original Beatles songs but not the master recordings? Are they ripping them from iTunes or something? This remains unclear.
While Tiwary theorizes that “It’s definitely possible that ‘You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away’ is about Brian,” while expert Tim Riley notes that this has been “long speculated, but nothing Lennon ever said nails it down.” Either way, Epstein’s brilliance as a manager and his cohesive presence during the band’s stormier years (the band wasn’t able to hold it together for long after he died of a sedative overdose just a month after Britain made it officially legal to be gay) is overdue for a serious film treatment…
…Which this wretched excerpt from the supposed script definitely axes:
JOHN Did you think he was attractive, then?
BRIAN Who?
JOHN The matador. That’s why you like bullfighting.
BRIAN I like bullfighting because it’s a beautiful, aggressive sport. At his final moment of triumph, the matador becomes death — he kills the killing machine. But not before he gives the bull its glory; shows the world its beauty, its power, its majesty. He also gives the aficionados something to believe in, something to admire, and ultimately something to hate. So in the end, he gives people hope.
[Brian turns to face the sea before continuing wistfully.]
BRIAN (cont’d) He uplifts the arena, the city, the nation. Very beautiful… So yes, I suppose I do find him attractive, but not in the way you might think.
[A moment, and then John points offscreen.]
JOHN What about him, then?
BRIAN No. Too… clumsy.
JOHN What’s that got to do with his looks?
BRIAN Everything!
JOHN Hmmh. Well, him then.
[John points at another.]
BRIAN Yes, him, very. Classic features. Elegant face.
JOHN And him? John points at another.
BRIAN Not so much.
JOHN You’re mad. He’s got all the birds!
BRIAN Women aren’t naturally the best arbiters of taste. He’s quite ordinary.
JOHN And that one?
[John points at another.]
BRIAN No.
JOHN Well we agree after all.
[John turns to face Brian.]
JOHN (CONT’D) And how about me? Do you find me attractive?

Top Five Least Favorite Beatles Songs « Across the Universe
Surely most have fond memories attached to some of the most influential songs ever written, but let us also not forget that all that glitters is not gold. Not even these Liverpool legends were exempt from the fact that sometimes, some more than others, musicians just make bad music.Conversations about the Beatles, or any band, for that matter, often get to that “favorite song” moment eventually. More often than not, the answers are satisfactory for the catalog of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Every now and again, though, there are choices that are heinous enough to completely unhinge the mind, and leave an acrid taste in my mouth. Here now is a compilation of the five absolute worst, most God-awful songs by the Beatles that others seem to love. all of the way through, as you should every single time you put this record on, and have reached “The End,” two minutes and 19 seconds of a monster shredder of a guitar solo followed by a softly sung, insightful line about love and the human condition. A perfect ending to a perfect record — or so you thought. A moment passes and the majesty of this records sits in, soon interrupted by one of Paul McCartney’s trademark silly love songs, garishly tacked onto the end. No cohesion to the rest of the record, no follow-up lyrics to further cement the sentiment just established, just 23 seconds of a forgettable acoustic guitar set to a few lines about being nervous about liking a snotty, dull woman who is also “pretty nice.” Thanks for ruining the record.
, it pales in comparison to the rest of the album — another extra finger to be gawked at and written by the
worst Beatle at that. Good one, Ringo. Talk some more trash about your hometown while you’re at it; you’re far from winning any more hearts these days.It was also featured on Beatles Rock Band, and it is the easiest, most boring song to play in the entire game. “The song is credited as being written by both Lennon and McCartney, but mostly McCartney, which is no surprise. Although not one of his signature silly love songs, it is really nothing more than a silly pop song. On the same record, Paul struck gold by writing “Helter Skelter,” a song so good that Charles Manson started a cult and convinced a bunch of strangers to murder one of the most beautiful women in the world. Fuck yeah! If that isn’t validation, I don’t know what is. There is a disturbing lack of psychedelic murder anthems these days. It’s still not too late, Paul.
