remember a while back
maybe a year or so ago
I did a thread about this movie:

mostly the fact that I didn't
know there was a movie based on
the album (& some other Beatles albums)

well, I got an FYE giftcard for my bday
last week & I finally got me one!!!
I had been looking for it, but I never
did see it on shelves

I still haven't watched the full thing yet
I keep going to sleep on it... and
not in THAT way, but only chance I get
to really watch television is when I'm
in the bed for the night, and of course
we all know how that can be pertaining to
watching a movie in entirety... I almosy ALWAYS
go to sleep on it.

am I to assume the girl group who
did "I Want You" & "LSD" are Stargard?
I always thought that was a duo girl group..
anyway... I saw the EW+F scene last night
I don't even remember where I left off

how many of you own this
and enjoy? (for what it is)

I think that one BeeGee with the dark hair
and the light voice is sooooo hot!!! OMG
(he's first one from the right
pictured on the DVD cover)

oh, and the funeral scene
totally made me sniffle
(I was not prepared for that)

the movie/musical is good so far though

I'll post the other stuff
I bought later

I have the DVD The movie is a mess but I like it for nostalgic reasons.There are some cool musical performances here.

Aerosmith was great too
on "Come Together"
I just love Steve Tyler

the MAIN reason I wanted to
see this film is to play "where's waldo"
with the celebrity cameos

I had looked this movie up
on IMBD once and saw all the
groups from back then that were
involved... and I just had to
see it for myself

I also have the movie soundtrack on vinyl.It comes with a poster (Bee Gees and Peter Frampton with their Sgt.Peppers uniforms on).

that "When I'm Sixty-Four" scene
freaked me out too
that Mr. Mustard guy is
really weird... really really weird

I found the "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
scene just a lil too quirky too
dude from Bringin The House Down(I can never remember his name LOL)

eh..
it'll grow on me I'm sure

SoulAlive said:

and isn't Peter Frampton
from STYX?

yeah I think I'ma be
needin' this soundtrack
in my life, those girls
did a bang up job on
"LSD" & their small part on "I Want You"

No,Peter Frampton is not from STYX

I'm sorry, it's the "Because" scene
that spooked me out...

Mr. Mustard is still weird too though

SoulAlive said:

I know I've seen him
somewheres... what group?

after watching it you feel you took some bad lsd

i saw it as a kid long ago freaked me out, like clowns at the circus scary.

but anyway, i was one oif those kids that could never watch "the wizard of oz" once it got to those lolipop kids, that was it for me, scaredd the hell out of me.

Before he went solo in 1971, he was in Humble Pie with Steve Marriott, Greg Ridley, and Jerry Shirley.
He also did a lot of session work at that time - with George Harrison, John Entwistle, Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others.
Ringo Starr and Billy Preston were on his first solo album, as well.

Thanks to this thread,I pulled out the DVD and watched it again I hadn't seen this movie in awhile.It's really just a bunch of glitzy music videos tied together by a weak storyline (hey,I think I just described "Graffiti Bridge" lol).It has a certain charm to it.The only real problem is that it goes on too long.You're like "When is this movie gonna end??" .The musical performances save it from being a total disaster.Billy Preston singing "Get Back" is one of the highlights.

I am so sorry you wasted your money on that. As a huge Beatles fan. I found this movie insulting and just plain pathetic.

One from another Bee Gees floptastic movie "Cucumber castle"

I didn't really like the film. But I love the scene where Billy Preston came out and sung "Get Back".

Oh and the dude you're talking about on the left is Robin, aka (other than Andy) the pretty boy Gibb brother.

DirtyChris said:

lol Frampton from STYX?.. nah He was in "Humble Pie" before he went solo..

IAintTheOne said:

Yeah,I tried to find some redeeming qualities about it but let's face it....this movie is the Graffiti Bridge of the 70s.

SoulAlive said:

Man, "Graffiti Bridge" was a better film than this shit.

This movie was released in August 1978....only two months after 'Grease' came out.I think 'The Wiz' was also in theatres around this time.We were being bombarded with musicals

btw...I wonder how the original Beatles felt about this movie? Did any of them ever comment on it?

SoulAlive said:

I bet they all thought it sucked.

SoulAlive said:

Yeah this makes 'The Wiz' look like 'The Godfather' though.

Yeah,that's one of the few great scenes in the movie I'm glad that Billy Preston saved the day and gave the movie a happy ending.For awhile there,it was all doom and gloom (after the funeral scene).

my expectations were
set way too high

I did see Minnie at the end though
and Nona, and Tina, and some others
was that Jose Feliciano with the shades on?

DirtyChris said:

Yeah that's him.That scene at the end featured virtually every 70s artist who was hot at the time...Curtis Mayfield,LaBelle,Minnie Riperton,George Benson,Robert Palmer,Seals and Crofts,Frankie Valli,etc.

Timmy84 said:

for some reason,I have a feeling that Paul probably liked it He's no stranger to bad movies anyway (remember 'Give My Regards To Broad Street'?).
