To be fair, he is constantly telling people he didn't actually write the songs. And there are people who still remember them that help him with lyrics he doesn't remember.
It was actually very good. I would pick a different hill to die on, but I understand the sentiment. Boycott the Stuperbowl instead (the Chiefs will win on a penalty, or like a 4-point conversion anyway)
A man took me to that movie on a date. He didn’t ask if I wanted to see it, just picked me up and told me where we were going. Needless to say we did not work out.
I forgot about that movie but at least it was a sorta original idea instead of remaking something or another comic book deal. I never watched it and don’t intend to but yeah…
the dumbest clever premise imaginable. never seen it but thinking about it pisses me off so much. the beatles weren't super successful just because they wrote good songs! there was context!
but like, there have been a million bands since the beatles that wrote beatles-like songs and didn't become the beatles! In this world do Badfinger exist? Or the Raspberries? Did someone else invent power pop?
Terrible movie, but it’s like Apocalypse Now in that the drama behind it is more interesting. The screenplay got bought, and the producer turned the whole thing into a bad rom-com. The starving artist writer had to take the money and fuck off, while they shat on his original idea
Yesterday was actually a lovely movie. The Beatles only had like a 6 year lifespan. Best 6 years of music ever. But still, it is ok to enjoy a well crafted movie. And Sergeant Peppers too. And Across the Universe
I come from an insane Beatles family and I have basically had The Beatles beaten into me since I was a child and I hated that stupid fucking movie. It’s so awful.
The main problem is. Without the Beatles. Popular music would be different today. The movie acted like everything that came after it would be the same as before. Also. Ed Sheeran sucks ass

Loved the scene with Ed S made you realise what a genius McCartney and Lennon
Kinda surprised.
A shame the only person I know who'd appreciate that detail will never willingly watch a film containing Ed Sheeran.
No thanks.
I agree - I can't see myself watching that movie either.
What devil's handiwork is this film?
