Other than Mash can anyone name a movie that Elliot Gould was actually good in? The Long Goodbye is terrible. He is only OK in Bugsy.
Both Lennon and Wright are "artists" that have a huge following but lived lives where they treated the people around them very poorly. That's the connection.
In this world you are what you do. How you treat others has more of a bearing on who you are than even great accomplishments. If one loves Beethoven, were good to one's family and played with the family dog but that is after a hard day running the death camps, one doesn't get a pass. If one were a Mafia hood and killed or had killed a number of people in one's career, writing a check to build a new hospital wing doesn't offset the murders.
Unfortunately there are a number of people that had not just one indiscretion but a series or lifetime of them that remain heroic in the eyes of others because of some achievement say something like their voting record in the Senate or Congress. There are some deeds or attitudes that cannot be worked off by good deeds. How a person treats others is a truer indication of their concerns and their real nature.
It's like the idea that the gangsters that ran a city during the Depression opened Soup Kitchens for the poor. The thing is they feed people that might not have eaten otherwise but it does not lessen their criminality.
Same here....and I'll throw in Star Wars.....eep:Rocky nor any of the following Rocky movies do anything for me.
Blame it on their manager, Brian Epstein!lol Actually, blame it on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for helping to mess them up! I think he was last sighted in the Bay Area...
The song "Imagine" grates on me every time I have to hear it. Imagine there is no heaven? So I should be content with this fallen world? Regading duality of nature, we see that with a few 20th century humanitarian "icons," whose shady pasts/theories/etc. often get swept under the carpet, and you dare not speak of them in anything but glowing terms...But back to the movies.
Imagine there were no Beatles
Its easy if you try.....
Ah, but that's something I'd rather not do, at least not the early Beatles (whom I remember with a fondness). Maybe we need to get you an appointment with the Yogi...
You want one decent "Beatles" song? Here:

That is only becasuse of the taxidermy backup singers though.

That's a Harrison solo. I've already listed a couple. Want the Yogi's phone number?
Nope. Maybe Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, but I was still too young to get in the theater alone when it came out...and I never had a desire to see it as an adult.
That stunk. Don't waste your time.:eusa_doh:
That's what I thought. But Natalie Wood was a doll...
You thought right. It all depends on what you think about wife swapping and swinging as a major subject matter for movies.
Not on my list of to do's...
The 30 year old Dyan Cannon ain't chopped liver either.I thought you might change your mind if it involved Natalie Wood though
