>Kids today don't know the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper. And when those who do see our film and hear us doing it, that will be the version they relate to and remember. Unfortunately, the Beatles will be secondary. You see, there is no such thing as the Beatles. They don't exist as a band and never performed Sgt. Pepper live, in any case. When ours comes out, it will be, in effect, as if theirs never existed. When you heard the Beatles do 'Long Tall Sally' or 'Roll Over Beethoven,' did you care about Little Richard's or Chuck Berry's version?[6]In hindsight 50 years later, were they right?
god this shit is so gay. all for a 3 chord boyband
>>130955570Shit film
>>130955791Not even in a so bad its good way?
>>130956767Ehhh, it has some crazy moments but a lot of it is pretty unbearable. It's entirely sung through so it's just constant music which can get annoying, especially when the music itself is so bland.
>Robin after the movie bombed"I knew when we were shooting it that the thing would be a flop. For one thing, there was no fucking anywhere in it and when people go to see a movie today, they expect fucking. Better luck next time, I suppose."
>>130955570Steve Martin's version of Maxwell's Silver Hammer is better. The foid cover of Here Comes the Sun is nice as well. The Aerosmith cover of Come Together is cool. The old man villain singing When I'm Sixty-Four was funny. The other old man singing Fixing a Hole was also pretty good. I love this version of You Never Give Me Your Money.Now that I think about it, nearly everyone in this film did a good job except for the main stars that were supposed to replace The Beatles. And this film is a million times better than Across the Universe.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [RSO, 1978]At first I felt relatively positive about this project. I'm not a religious man, I liked the Aerosmith and Earth, Wind & Fire cuts on the radio, and I figured the Bee Gees qualified as ersatz Beatles if anyone did. Well, let's hope clones aren't like this. From the song selection, you wouldn't even know the originals were once a rock and roll band. Most of the arrangements are lifted whole without benefit of vocal presence (maybe Maurice should try hormones) or rhythmic integrity ("Can't we get a little of that disco feel in there, George?") And what reinterpretations there are are unworthy of Mike Douglas. George Burns I can forgive, even Peter Frampton--but not Diane Steinberg, Sandy Farina, Frankie Howerd. I never thought Alice Cooper would stoop to a Paul Williams imitation. I never thought Steve Martin would do a Nerd imitation. Get back, all of you. Back I say. D+

>>130955570this disaster ultimately bankrupted RSO
>>130955570i mean, kids in 1961 probably didn't know the Marcels Blue Moon was an old pop standard from the 30s either
>>130955570"no"
>>130955570More like Sgt. Pooper's, lollerskates
