The Beatles - Eight Days A Week. Will you go to see it?

[GrumpyGregry]

I liked the early Beatles, the rock'n'roll years but being three when they broke America I can't really remember it. I'm finding the gushing excitement of the meejha, most of whom weren't even born when the Beatles split up, over Ron Howard's new filum rather off putting. I may go and see it anyway.

What about you?

 

[AndyRM]

Nope.

Personally I reckon the Beatles are totally over-rated, though I do think Ringo Starr is pretty cool.

 

[ianrauk]

Nope.
More Beatles nonsense.
Just let it go.

 

[Spinney]

Nope.
More Beatles nonsense.
Just Let it be.

FTFY!

 

[ianrauk]

FTFY!

Another non fan here. Yes they made some good music and influenced a lot of muscians, but they are not my cup of tea. A bit like Elton John I think most of their songs sound better when sung by someone else.

For example:

 

[Yellow Saddle]

The Beatles - the most famous band in the world that no-one listens to.

Not more Beatles crap?! Living in the north west we get bombarded nearly every night on the local tv news with stuff like Japanese tourists visit the Cavern, John Lennon's old bike up for sale, Ringo Starr's old school's roof is leaking, George Harrison's sister qualifies for a bus pass etc etc

 

[gavroche]

No, although I like the Beatles and grew up with their music.

 

[ColinJ]

I'll go and watch it on Someday (the eighth day!) ...

 

[John the Monkey]

If it's good, sure.

I've watched a few films on topics that I'm entirely uninterested in[1], and loved them, so why not?

[1] Examples: Rush, Senna, Moneyball, The Damned United

Karen Carpenter fantastic, such a shame her life ended it so early

 

[Ciar]

Nope,

not a fan.

Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

They do nothing for me and I'm with Accy, North West current affairs programs seem to enjoy reporting on a pop group nearly 50 years disbanded
