It's quite an unfortunate nameLol! That one took me a moment.
As for TTL's Band on the Run, a simple live performance/extended music video would suffice. The silliness of the Richard Lester movies and Yellow Submarine wouldn't translate as well to the more serious 70s.
Same! I should have gotten it so much quicker than I did!Lol! That one took me a moment.
I thought the 70's were known for being silly and rediculous and over the top.
70s humor strikes me as more biting and satirical, given the sociopolitical upheavals that ended the 60s.
Also around this time rock bands following in the Beatles' footsteps wanted to be taken more seriously as artists (especially the prog acts). Punk going to a DIY back to basics approach was a response to this.

Oh yeah, lol. I DID say in my idea that my idea for the film was a partially satirical lookback on their career, so yeah
Yeah. Havetohavethemallpulledoutafterthe SavoyTruffle, PhD.
But if everyone is taking themselves seriously, then the Beatles might do the opposite because they usually went against the grain.
Its why Steve Martin created the "Wild and Crazy Guy" character, it was his reaction to everyone including other comedians being more serious, critical and introspective.
The Beatles might feel its time everyone lighten up and once again be ahead of the curve.
What if Band on the Run is always about the band running away. All we ever see is their backs as they run away. Then we've got these weird characters going after them...
Who plays these weird characters that obviously are modeled on the Beatles?
Well, Peter Sellers plays one (Ringoish)
Benny Hill plays one (Paulish)
Eric Idle plays one (Georgish)
and Peter Cook plays one (Johnish)
Our four Ishes keep getting in messes as they try to get autographs from the Beatles and never quite make it- but they constantly see them on TVs in strange places performing their songs... thus the videos of the songs in the film.
They see them on TV in a bar, in an airport, on the sidewalk looking in through the big windows of an appliance store, at a sweet old lady's house who has them over for tea, surrealy on a TV just out on the sidewalk with a long extension cord and who knows why it's out there, at a strip joint where the old-style burlesque stripper uses a stack of TVs like a stripper pole, in a barbershop, etc., etc., etc.
The whole bit of the film is whether they ever catch up to get their autographs and at the end when they catch the Beatles and get them.... then what do they do with them?

I'd pay to see that!
Ya have to be a king to know that kind of stuff.
How could the Beatles develop a "grunge" sound TTL? They're nowhere near Seattle and are pretty sober even by non-rockstar standards.
If anything at all... He hasn't been on this thread in a while.
