The Beatles recording session mistakes are pure gold and here are some of the best moments:
0:06: JOHN: That’s not it!!
0:57-onwards: *weird noises*
1:35: PAUL: And if you saw my love, I’d love her… *pfffff*
2:01: JOHN: There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done PAUL: I believe you, Johnny! JOHN: There’s nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. PAUL: There sure is! *continues random ‘Johnny’, ‘you’re right, boy!’*
2:20: JOHN: I’m ready to sing for the world, George. If you just give me the backing!
3:41: *loud guitars* JOHN: Little less of George! It feels I’m singing in a sock.
4:22: “RINGO!!”
4:36: PAUL: We’ll do it anyway, We’ll just blast that bit, that one bit.
5:47: JOHN: Don’t slow down, for Christ’s sake. Or I’m giving you no more drugs!
6:22: JOHN: I just can’t get anywhere near ‘light’ now.
6:34: PAUL: I’ll try to remember, John. And if I don’t it’s just too bad, isn’t it?
6:50: PAUL: George, what did it sound like? Were the bass doing a funny thing, did it sound any good or did it sound like just utterly crap? [..] I did it well, see. Told you! Meh, hello to you and see how you like it.
…and my personal favorite:
3:59: PAUL: Do that again. [to George:] You made a mistake. I KNOW YOU DID! GEORGE: No. *mumbling and grumbling*

They finally had enough
Brief opinion on Midas Man: it's a television movie that's it, not extremely bad but not good either, mediocrer at best. The script was unfortunately flat practically a wikipedia page without insight, I didn't expect they would explore really dark situation or the controverse relationship between Brian and John...but all the relationships Brian have in the movie with his family, friends, the Beatles are superficial not explored. The invented Tex guy was boring, their love story not build and in the first minutes it's so obvious he is using him and we don't particulary know what kind of person is. It's a pity for all the older actors involved because they are veterans british actors, talented people which is not given a good material. Jacob Fortune Lloyd is great in the role you can see how much effort, passion and subtlety put in hi work but the script is unfair to him, one of the only scenes I really liked was with George Martin (a really good casting), because it's possible to see the glimps of what kind of men they are, unfortunately after that scene the movie doesn't show us how they worked behind the scenes. The Beatles are reduced as funny extras again I am repetitive but the friendship he had with them is not explored, he was their manager, he created their image, he toured with them for years, he was protective and cared for them, it's a waste the actors reached a good energy vibe cheeky students who befriend their akward but cool young teacher. Blake Richardson is one of the best Paul McCartney, Jonah Lees as John I think he was too much critised I didn't find him stereotypical at all, yes he is short but I don't particulary care, I am much more focused on interpretation, John Lennon is a very difficult person to play and many older actors failed to play him right. He was a good young John Lennon, nuanced and he studied John expressions, he showed his silly side, his more pensive side, Jonah Lees deserved better. Leo Harvey-Elledge and Campbell Wallace they were in the scenes nothing more nothing less, I surprisingly liked Adam Lawrence as Pete Best, he is not painted as a bad guy you feel sorry for him, he has presence in the way you feel him different and disconnected from the group. Cilla Black I don't know how she was so I can't do a comparison, she is a nice presence in the movie but as said before she is flat as the others characters. It's not a terrible film, is not unwatchable nothing like that howevere fails in his intentions to tell Brian Epstein, as a beatles fan I advise you to watch him at least for Jacob Lylod, maybe when you are alone during lunch or dinner, the pace is smooth
The wigs were terrifying, the production problems are crystal just watching John hair: at the begin red, then brown and in the end red again. George's wig who is red for some reason and Paul's moustache are a litteral crime
Shoutout to that one Mclennon Joke in The Rutles

Paul McCartney and George Harrison in Melbourne (June 1964)
It’s just about a gang of weirdos who love each other singing from the literal rooftops and, for a few minutes, bringing colour to a grey city. It’s about how all good things must come to an end but by simply happening they’re still significant. It’s about the constant battle between art/people/LOVE against forces that want them to conform. It’s about how friendship can literally change the world. It’s about hope. It’s about the power of dreaming. It’s cold and their fingers are going numb and the uniformed police officers, ever-present in the background, are making them unplug their instruments. But they just plug them back in!!! Maybe they can’t finish the concert but they’re finishing the song if it’s the last thing they do and they’ll even crack some jokes while they’re at it. Poetic cinema…
btw i wonder if this is my girl eileen from the famous i don't really care if the beatles break up i only come here for paul get back interview
