Magical Mystery Tour film discussion

I'll getback to you when I watch it

 

Then the film still runs complete with the "censored" banner.? Only a short added segment has the uncensored scene?

 

In those states where it is legal, I suggest being massively stoned for maximum enjoyment. It makes no sense but the colors are nice. The army recruiter is hilarious and very Pythonesque. The spaghetti dinner is a dream/nightmare(literally) brought to life.
If you are straight, stick with the tunes.

Paul's half baked concept.

 

It's additional footage

 

Yes, squares will not enjoy it

 

Just the C Moons?

 

I'd say it's much better than Broad Street because:
a. it's shorter
b. the music is superior
c. the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

 

d. doesn't have "So Bad" on it.

I do enjoy Broad Street (yes, even the remakes) but what a snoozer!

 

The best thing that can be said about "So Bad" is that it quite clearly does not violate the Trade Descriptions Act. It is indeed an aptly-named song.

 

One of my favorite McCartney solo songs

 

Well, life would be boring if we all agreed on everything, wouldn't it? It was really NOT what I wanted to hear from McCartney as an 18-year-old fan at the time, and time hasn't made me like it any better.

 

Yes. It can. IMO Magical Mystery Tour makes Broadstreet seem like A Hard Day's Night.

 

I would pay good money for a MMT DVD with a commentary track by Werner Herzog.

 

He was certainly a happy fellow, and would punch the man who said he wasn't.

 

e. it has some interest for pop culture historians as a period piece and notable trainwreck

 

I really like MMT (the film).

I wouldn't have chopped the amusing poolside sequence with Nat Jackley, and in particular the clip of Ivor Cutler singing 'I'm Going In A Field' though. Both add to it considerably.

 

Absolutely. It has a seemingly effortless strangeness and beauty the Beatles' self-conscious overexertions fail to achieve.

 

He did, Furmanek was credited on the MPI laserdisc for doing the stereo remix

 

I would pay more money for a MMT DVD with a commentary track by Mike, Crow, and Tom Cervo..

 

I think they tried to sit through it, but gave up and left the theater!
As bad as the MMT movie was, the outtakes with Ivor Cutler and Happy Nat are even worse. But I think if they edited the film to remove bad stuff, it would have ended up with the opening scene and MMT song, a couple of videos, and the closing production of Your Mother Should Know.

 

I see what you did there Jamie The mistake behind the MMT film is that it was ever broadcast or released. If they had released the music the film would be the Carnival Of Light of video--people clamouring for it and begging that it be released.

 

JamieC - I saw it BOTH stoned and stone cold sober. Walked out of the theater both times scratching my head. This is a film not meant to be understood. Just a bunch of stoned hippies putting every thing they saw on film, in focus or not.

 

Jebus man, its less than an hour long! And nearly half of it is outstanding tunes! Note that I said MASSIVELY stoned.
