Title: Across the Universe
Post by: One Man Freak Show on September 13, 2007, 06:28:01 PM
AtU will be so bloody awesome, and yet it hasn't gotten ANY PUBLICITY. I hate it when crap likes Mr. Woodcock gets more publicity, money, and advertising than a good movie.

I remember hearing about that months ago... it looks like it will be pretty good. When's it coming out?

Looks like it could be a huge failure but as long as it has trippy "on god i think they gave us acid" parts, then it'll be awesome. I don't know if it's a good thing that it's not actually the Beatles's recordings

I want to see it just because of the premise of the movie and the fact that it may be highly trippy.

Yeah, I loved the preview because of the Beatles covers in it. They weren't amazing covers or anything, but still.

For the most part, yes. It's a bit more complicated than that. It's an original story, but it still tries to incorporate all these Beatles songs. Over 30 of them, actually.

And also, it came out today for a select number of theatres, and it'll be released to all nationwide theatres for normal viewing on the 21st.

if you wasnt a real good sense for it, look at the site itself.

www.acrosstheuniverse.com ..I think. If that's not it, use google.

I just think the movie looks comepletely amazing; story, cinematography, music, everything. I wasnt it so bad. :(

And it kills me that I'll be like "whoamg, across the universe, can't wait" and NO ONE knows what I'm talking about. ;_;

BTW, Max and Jude both look like AMAZING characters. 'Specially max, he seems really in-depth.. complicated-like.

Yeah, my sister wouldn't shut up talking about how stupid it looked.

You really have to be a Beatles fanatic to understand it though.

I'm really not a beatles fanatic.. I mean, of course I think they're great, but I probably don't even have half of their music.

I just got home from the movie.

It was pretty good, though all the love songs got annoying.

I was kinda worried about that...

Was love as a plot overall annoying? I hate watching good-movies-turned-chick-flicks because the director put too much mushy stuff in. :\ Was that a problem?

The story wasn't annoying, I just felt they did a few too many love songs.

The "Little Help From My Friends" sequence was my favorite. navi;

Why do you assume that we haven't heard of it? You have to be a dumbass when it comes to music to have never heard of that.

Besides, that movie sucks. It sucks bad.

Furthermore, you're forgetting "Yellow Submarine," the animated Beatles musical, which doesn't suck nearly as much as Sgt. Pepper. There's also "A Hard Day's Night," which was more of a comedy musical sort of thing. Never seen it myself though.

Yellow Submarine, Let It Be, and A Hard Day's Night are the only three Beatles related things in movies to love. Everything else is shit. Same goes for Across the Universe. God, I hated it.

You hated it, so that means it sucks?

Sorry, but your opinion technically means nothing.

Well, considering you haven't linked to it, I had no idea you had written anything of the sort, and I'm not very interested in going through all of your posts/ searching/ browsing, you're opinion still pretty much means nothing to me.
