David Brent .. simply the best.

I saw 'let it be' again this weekend, Paul's usually just insufferable but in that film, he's almost unwatchable. The mugging for the camera during 'long and winding road' = physical pain.

It's very much as if the actor who plays Brent studied this film for the character.

There was a bootleg disc of extra footage: a scene with Paul talking to John for five minutes straight about how silly George was to complain about the cameras in the studio, and how sure he understands it's awkward but they just have to warm up so that they can get a quality document of what we do best you know... and Paul just doesn't seem to notice that the entire time he's talking, the expression on John's face is poison

I believe I addressed some of these issues, including someone making fun of Macca's mugging on this never-to-be-read thread

could it be that john is thinking "how do you sleep" ?
let it be naked should never have been released - i love the beatles but bad versions of good songs is wrong - it should be a bonus disc when you buy "let it be "

'The Office' is far and away the greatest TV series since 'the Sopranos'... Paul McCartney is far and away the biggest fuck-stick since Hitler.

x-post: I disagree. The versions are fine and it sounds grebt.

There's some book done by people who transcribed every moment of dialogue from all of the Let It Be tapes and it paints a very POSITIVE picture of Paul. Basically, he was the only guy (I don't know--maybe Ringo, too) who wasn't sour about WORKING. He was enthusiastic about making music and doing projects like making the film. George was not. Lennon was strung out on smack.

do you think harry likes the beatles ?
and anyway, i don't especially like "let it be" but knowing how hard it is to keep a band working when there are problemns all around, i don't see mccartney as an evil guy for that.
