Ok, so here is another movie-inspired choice. I guess this means one of two things: 1) I watch too many movies or 2) a lot of movies have reasonably inspiring music references.
Meh, it's probably the first one.
So I got a preview disc of Nowhere Boy - the John Lennon biopic - from work. Man, sometimes this job has some almost decent perks. Sometimes.
It was a really interesting movie. Personally, I have always been a George fan - have you heard 'Something'? 'Here comes the sun'? The man is a genius.
Anyway, distracted. So Lennon has never been of great interest to me. I guess I always though of him as the one with the crazy lady-friend who pissed everyone else off enough to cause the band to break up. Good one buddy. But this movie was a bit of an insight into young John. And a good insight 'twas.
Plus I was fascinated to see this kid playing John. Mainly because he and the director have fallen in love and are having a baby and he's about 12. Well, maybe a touch older, but not much. Hey, I like scandal!
But he was great. The movie was great. The soundtrack was great. And I got to watch it before it's out at the movies. GREAT!
p.s. It also had David Morrisey in it and I heart him. He is my favourite David after the Tennant.
