DBMalone's channel

The drummer kills me... he looks like some middle aged, blown out salesman.

@DBMalone LOL! Got married the same month...and had the same problem!

@Cromag99 I don't know about the chair, but I do know that he was quite abusive.

@purpleslog I like the transition from the rehearsal to the premier with the audience filled with men it tux's and ladies in gowns. That entire shot was pure genius.

@DarkTrojanHorse The movie director herself said she wasn't going to play the "look-alike game." So yes... he's not meant to LOOK like John Lennon. Just ACT like him.

@TheLadySpartan So was Paul though...

@TheErr1112 Looks like a combination of the scene in the double decker bus from the film Nowhere Boy, and out takes from Scorcese's documentary on George Harrison.

@melfriend7 No, he wasn't.

Damn... place looks like a country club now! It wasn't that way in '77, I can asure you...

Not only was Edward Woodward a fine actor, but what a beautiful singing voice he had! He sings a great rendition of "Soldiers of the Queen" in this final scene, and sings another tune earlier in the film. We will miss him... RIP.

@a0e0roberts My guess is no one did. You'd know in an instant by the weight of the round whether it was a blank or a live round.

@hannmrfitz Yes... it's her.

This is one of Springsteen's best songs, IMHO.

@allies98 He was also a die hard Nazi back in the day... but I suspect reformed.

@XtraTrstrL Exactly... some sort of weird California humor. I thought it was interesting, but not funny at all.

@AW71 Who told you that? She was born in 1954, which means that Martin Scorsese would have been 12 years old at the time. Possibly a cousin, but not his daughter.

@Quenns36 That's Clark Griwold. ;-)

@Giesji It's the cost of making them. It's much more expensive now to shoot an actual video today than it was 20 or 30 years ago. Now they just shoot a concert... not the same thing. Plus, we really don't have any video channels any more. I guess youtube has filled that niche, but you have to...

@MegaOsaro You mean this film actually screened in your area? ;-) I wanted to see it in the worst way, but had to wait for DVD on Netflix. Now even the History Channel (which, let's face it... rarely shows any history now) is showing the film. I guess the theaters in Syracuse had to make room...

@Nephthalem Ummm... MTV didn't begin broadcasting until August, 1981. You're off by about a year.

@thatfingio Yeah... I'm afraid that's true too. ;-)

@MichaelRMcCoy So is being judgmental...

@chewy61790 Lemme guess... you're American? John is very popular here in America, but unless I misjudge... Paul is the more popular one in Britain. I'm thinking it's because John acted more American... and let's face it, he settled here. Paul remained more British, and I don't think he ever re...

I think it's a kick that an American label wouldn't carry "Please, Please me" for American distribution because "only shit kickers use harmonicas in their recordings." What saps!

@tedcantu1 I remember it too. I was in the Navy in school at Great Lakes Naval Training Center at the time... January, 1977. Did you ever hear the story of how it ended up on SNL?

This is one of the most creative pieces of R & R I've ever listened to.

@swamphox It is indeed Buffalo Bill. Actor Ted Levine playing Starbuck. He's in a lot of other movies too, including American Gangster as Russell Crowe's superior... a fed, I believe. One of the great character actors... and this scene just proved it.

@silvertamagachi You have my support. Best production, to date.

@bombygriz ah... now I know why you were looking for the xylophone. ;-)
