One time I said "I've Got Blisters on My Fingers!" when we were writing something in class (I actually did have blisters), and one of my friends started laughing. I said to them "Do you even know where that's from?" and they said "Duh, Yes Man!"

I facepalmed. I haven't seen Yes Man though. Is it any good?

They sing Can't Buy Me Love (a small part of it). And he plays guitar later in the movie and Jim Carrey says "I've Got Blisters On My Fingers!!!". Its a hilarious film!

I know it's related to the Beatles but I hated Across The Universe so much. Horrible, horrible singing. Just abysmal.

 

 

thanks Mr. Big I knew my instinct was right. My Beatle fan niece wants me to watch it.. but I don't want to because I know I'll hate it..  

 


If you can, wear ear plugs when you watch it. It's that bad.

Really, Jeffrey Jones and Ben Stein MADE that movie, imo.

Paulrus was right about the scarcity of actual Beatles recordings in films - aside from actual Beatles or Beatles-related films, all I could think of was "When I'm 64", used over the opening credits of "The World According To Garp".

Best: Charles Manson documentary. I have never seen a funnier dance to Helter Skelter.

 

Worst: Acapella version of "Run For Your Life". Sorry I can't remember what movie it was from. This one was just bad, and I mean like REALLY bad. It was kind of ironic that it was sung by a woman....

The only one I've seen with a Beatles song that wasn't a cover was Ghost Town, which had I'm Looking Through You (geddit?). That was pretty bad, but once you get onto the covers...

There was one movie that was on TV (can't remember the name) which had Come Together during a scene in a war base or something. It didn't fit at all, but anyway...

Oh, and that movie Imagine That. That had 4 Beatles covers in it, I think. It had Nowhere Man, Here Comes the Sun, All You Need ...]]> Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:02:54 +0100
