1. I'm not getting Drudge.

ON EDIT: I see what you're referring to. It's not drudge. It's the "Grudge Report". http://www.theusversusjohnlennon.com/

[Joanne98]

4. Sorry. I thought it said Drudge. I changed it already.,

Sorry sorry sorry!

[NotGivingUp]

31. Well, it's not playing anywhere by me...like most of the good movies.

8. I messed this whole thread up. Someone feel free to do it over.

[bobbolink]

10. Some days are like that. Nothing some choklit ice cream can't cure.

:hi:

Thanks for bringing the film info to our attention! :yourock:

[H2O Man]

12. The thread is fine!

In fact, I will nominate it after I post this.

I am really looking forward to seeing this film. I'll be bringing my family to it, as many times as they will sit through it with me. There is a lot to the story about John and Yoko in their radical days, and this movie looks like it will be great!

[ms liberty]

27. Hi H20Man! I'm really excited about this movie too...

I want to see it Saturday night; it's my and mr liberty's 11th anniversary...now I just have to talk HIM into it!

[Beaverhausen]

9. I'm going to try and go this weekend

Hope this will fire some people up!

God, I miss John Lennon. We could use him now.

[Jeanette in FL]

17. I miss him too.

I can't wait to see it. They had to get rid of him.

BTW, love your tag line, one of my favorite songs.

[wicket]

11. Wow- that looks awesome!

I'll definitely be seeing it, and I hope many at DU will too.

John Lennon was one of the good guys :patriot:

:)


Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

[H2O Man]

13. War is Over!

If you want it!

One reason the Nixon boys disliked John and Yoko:

[H2O Man]

14. A rare photo

of John with a young fan named Karl Rove:

[stevedeshazer]

16. ROFL!!

Swine are still swine. :)

[bobbolink]

25. you are so bad....

:rofl:

[ms liberty]

28. Have you seen this site?

It's the official John Lennon site. Has some great stuff.

http://www.johnlennon.com/site.html

[MzNov]

33. Awwww, the poor pig. He's much smarter than Rove. nt

[stevedeshazer]

15. Watch this, young DUers

This is a direct link to what is happening now and what happened then.

It's so much the same, I can scarcely believe it.

Whoa.

[Jeanette in FL]

18. And why we are so radical in our ideas.

I agree with what you said. And I believe it now more than ever.

[stevedeshazer]

21. But, see, we're NOT radical

We're RIGHT. :)

[Jeanette in FL]

24. Exactly.

We always knew we were on the right side.

[bobbolink]

26. So much the same....

And so much worse.

We need our Poet Lennon back! :cry:

[Wafture]

19. Should have called it "The Ballad Of John & Yoko"

[stevedeshazer]

20. You're missing the point

It's not about John and Yoko.

It's about YOU. :)

[Wafture]

22. you know, the lyrics

"just trying to get some peace"

[stevedeshazer]

23. I don't get it

:shrug:

[H2O Man]

34. That song

detailed some of the "problems" the couple faced. Of course, the movie is about the "problems" they faced a couple years later. But it is still a great song ....

Standing in the dock at southampton,
Trying to get to holland or france.
The man in the mac said, youve got to turn back.
You know they didnt even give us a chance.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.
Finally made the plane into paris,
Honey mooning down by the seine.
Peter brown called to say,
You can make it o.k.,
You can get married in gibraltar, near spain.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.
Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspapers said, say what you doing in bed?
I said, were only trying to get us some peace.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
Oh boy, when youre dead
You dont take nothing with you
But your soul - think!
Made a lightning trip to vienna,
Eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspapers said, shes gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.
Caught an early plane back to london.
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said, we wish you success,
Its good to have the both of you back.
Christ you know it aint easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.
The way things are going
Theyre going to crucify me.

[stevedeshazer]

36. Belated thanks, now I get it.

Great song. I didn't understand that the poster was referencing that particular song.

[ms liberty]

29. K&R for John...n/t

[drm604]

30. I wasn't even aware of this.

Thank you for posting this thread. I still remember the night he was shot. :(

On Edit: Well, it looks like there's no showings in my area this weekend. I'm now looking forward to this and Jesus Camp and neither one is showing around here. Damn.

[MzNov]

32. I heard the 29th? Is it tomorrow. Even better !

I saw the previews. I can't wait. Lennon is one of my heroes! A working class hero!

:hi:

[rman]

I particularly like how this thing comes out of nowhere.

[Beaverhausen]

37. The director is on Majority Report right now
