this should be worth some discussion later in the year I joked that with Peter Jackson directing, we should expect to see Orcs chasing after Ringo and gang in their Yellow Submarine in some sort of epic battle scene. There may not be battle scenes, but Jackson has given the fab 4 his 3 part "epic trilogy" treatment. “The Beatles: Get Back” will be presented as three separate episodes. Each episode is approximately two hours in length, rolling out over three days, November 25, 26 and 27, 2021, exclusively on Disney+. I may have to finally break down and get Disney+ www.thebeatles.com/news/%E2%80%9C-beatles-get-back%E2%80%9D-disney-original-documentary-series-directed-peter-jackson-debut-exclusively

It should be good knowing how PJ works and does things. I remember his WW1 documentary where old footage of the war was colourised, slowed down to normal speed and even 'voices' given to the people involved (a lip reader was employed to see what folk were saying)

I can't wait! Disney+ is worth it. I have it free for a year, with a Verizon Unlimited plan. I've probably watched Hamilton more times than I'm willing to admit.

Ron Howard's, "Eight Days a Week" focussing on the touring years 63-66 on Sky Documentaries is also very good.

Just finished this over the weekend, and man was it outstanding. Honestly,it might be a little tedious for non-fans( it probably could have used some additional editing here and there), but overall this is quite an achievement.
A few random observations...
Paul really was the guiding force behind the band, at least during these sessions. George seemed disenfranchised, John was into it but you could also tell he was distracted by Yoko (and other things), and Ringo was just patiently waiting for the the other three to figure out what was going on.
The arrival of Billy Preston livened things up, and brought some much needed enthusiasm to the sessions.
Yoko seemed harmless, but I understand it could probably be annoying having someone's girlfriend brought into the inner circle. Then again, Linda Eastman (McCartney) was there a lot, too.
For all the tension and even jealousy between John and Paul, especially after the Beatles breakup, there are moments where you can really tell that they love each other and have a lot of fun being around each other.
Producer Glyn Johns' influence can't be understated. He did his best to keep things on track, even during the most chaotic moments.
When George gets fed up and leaves the band in episode one, its just Paul and Ringo in the studio. Paul looks around, and with a certain amount of sadness in his eyes, says "and then there were two." Hard to watch that, knowing that would eventual become the case.
The whole rooftop concert segment is just beyond great,and the emotional peak of the whole film.

Agree, Chippa. On the last episode. It's clear they were lost after "Mr Epstein" died. They'll very passive-aggressive with each other. It's a greater understanding on how they got on that roof, most of which, I didn't know. I've McCartney's Lyric tome. Reading slowly, still on book one. It's nicely done.
