Why did none of the Beatles movies succeed?
>>
A Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine are classics.
>>
The Rutles >>
>>
>>216477352
All of their movies were successful except Magical Mystery Tour which was a tv movie that was badly reviewed
>>
The Rolling Stones are so much better than the Beatles its not even funny. I guess people fight about the Beatles and the Beach Boys because there's no disputing the kings.
>>
>>216477352
The Beatles' film Help! (1965) was a major box office success, grossing around $12.1 million in its initial run (equivalent to much more today). While precise, inflation-adjusted figures vary, it was highly profitable, becoming one of the top films of its era, demonstrating huge demand for Beatlemania

They were manufactured slop. People wised up to them, until a new group of hipsters are born and think it's cool to be lame
>>
>>216477572
nah, it's the opposite of the Sex Pistols or Andrew W.K. or similar. Brian Epstein found a talented band. they were discovered, not made.
>>
>>216477455
The Beach Boys and The Beatles are better than the Rolling Stones

What's the point of making this up?

a hard days night is legitimately a great movie and the only one they actually cared about making by their own admission

>The Beatles are an overrated shit band

Agreed. So was pet sounds. Yeah I said it.

A real mixer. Cost ya a fortune in breach of promise cases.

stunning and brave

>>216479954
you are preaching to the choir

>>216477352
A hard Day's Night and Help were both in the top 5 highest grossing movies of 1964 and 65 respectively.
>>
>>216479954
hating the beatles has been babys first contrarian opinion for 60 years yet these retards always act like they were the first to do it kek
>>
>>216480955
he didn't say he hated them. he said they were overrated. and they are.
>>
>>216477352
Commies
>>
>>216477428
That's kinda odd, because Magical Mystery Tour is one of their better albums imo.
>>
The Beatles are one of the few bands that are perfectly rated. Their music was great, fucking fantastic even, and the stuff that you could consider "crap" (oh bla di) or "overproduced" (long and winding road) are still good and great songs respectively on albums that were massively influential. The only reason anyone thinks they're "overrated" is because every other band after took inspiration from them in some way. Seeing people, both on the left and right, seethe about John Lennon makes me laugh really hard.
>>
Imagine if they actually got Stanley Kubrick to do a take on The Lord of the Rings with Paul playing 'Frodo'.
>>
>>216479954
You want a real hot take? The Beatles are underrated. I'm serious.
>>
>>216481257
not him but i agree. their influence was nearly unfathomable, paul maccartney's melodies alone were a divine gift to humanity
>>
>>216481057
the album is good but the movie was messy, they produced it themselves and it's more experimental and haphazard than any of the others. they were high as fuck, used to producing albums by the seat of their pants, and thought they could do the same with a movie.
>>
The Beatles are fantastic and here's why [paragraph I read somewhere by someone who's socially agreed to be knowledgeable]

Beatfags are delusional.
>>
>>216481271
Yep. They're pretty much the greatest band to ever do it. They were firing off on a level above anybody else. And sure, everybody knows the Beatles, everybody has a couple of tracks they love. But how many people do you know who have really dived into their catalog and understand just how good it really is? Hence, they're underrated. They're widely regarded on the surface level as a pop culture phenomenon, but not appreciated enough on a deeper musical level.
>>
I wish All the best for all involved in the upcoming tetralogy ( or quadrilogy if you prefer) .
Man that's going to be a complicated labor .

PS Anna Sawai is too pretty to play Yoko Ono

>They were firing off on a level above anybody else
what lol they were totally inconsistent
the entirety of funk, the entirety of rock n roll before them
velvet underground
rolling stones
beach boys
synth shit (actually new and revolutionary)

nothing the beatles did was revolutionary or boundary pushing or even repeated, even though mccartney is a great song writer their impact on pop or rock is marginal honestly. they were a boy band. but like everything with gay ass hippies we have to believe the boomer lore.

>nothing the beatles did was revolutiona
gross, profoundly retarded take born of weirdly petty jealousy that almost seems personal, i see all too often and i'll never know why people are such a way
>>
>>216481761
Name something
>>
>>216477352
The beatles were a british government MI6 psyop, they were never that popular, the record numbers were all fabricated
>>
>>216477455
Outside their most popular songs I don't really like Stones. Their music sounds niggerish. I'm guessing it's because all this blues.
>>
>>216481774
ADT, retard, and that's just one of so many things the pioneered/popularized/invented/conceptualized/did first, and i'm not going to do your research for you. people like you just make bullshit claims and it betrays your weird dishonest nature, what a slimy rancid scumbag i am so tired of it all
>>
>>216481563
You sound like such a pleb. First of all, The Beatles are good. Secondly, your list is terrible. Where are The Mothers of Invention? Where are The Animals?
>>216477455
And The Who easily washes all of them.
>>
>>216481829
She literally said "synth shit" instead of naming any synth shit. That's how authentic her hot take is.
>>
>>216481939
this is my favorite thing you're hung up on because the beatles used the mellotron in 1966 for their strawberry fields demo almost 2 years before the monkees used the moog (which the beatles made popular anyway)
>>
>>216482099
what a pedant, but take the W all the same

What did I miss?
>>
>>216477352
Why does Paul look like he nutted in the cereal boxes and is waiting for me to discover this fact
>>
>>216477352
Help is hilarious and if so many people didn't immediately disregard it for being a Beatles album movie it would be considered one of the best comedies of all time

Because they weren't actually popular.
They were a collective delusion created to fight against the amerinegro and lower classes that were gaining power and saying things the ruling elite didn't like.
>>
>>216481331
It's way too strange to broadcast on tv in 1967. I think it was shown on Christmas and all the normies hated it. It's not very good unless you like strangeness for the sake of it
>>
