Uploaded on Sep 7, 2010

A wildly entertaining, star-studded documentary about The Beatles's favorite American musician, WHO IS HARRY NILSSON (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN' ABOUT HIM)? is a vibrant and definitive portrait of one of the most talented singer-songwriters in pop music history. Directed by Emmy and Grammy nominee John Scheinfeld (THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON), the film combines compelling interviews with Nilsson's family, friends and colleagues — including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Robin Williams, Micky Dolenz and Yoko Ono — with rare and never-before-seen archival footage, home movies, and excerpts from a recently discovered oral autobiography. The film delves deeply into Nilsson's artistic process, his spirited relationship with John Lennon, and the additions that haunted him in and outside the studio — as well as the peace he found as a devoted husband and father.

    No cause? Nilsson wrote all the music for Popeye. Sounds like plenty of cause.

    When will we stop indulging Robin Williams? He keeps popping up where there is no cause for him to be.
