I was looking up Beatles photos and I found about about a Beatless anime which is close in spelling and has five robot ladies. Which Beatle corresponds to which robot lady?

It is Beatles related but also not at the same time so here it goes, if a mod wants to make this a topic for some reason, go right ahead.

  

Might as well answer my own question

 

I wanna use early Beatles so Stu + Pete but no Ringo

Stu is green, Paul is Blue, Red is John, Pete is Orange and George is maid is my guess

If anyone is interested, there is a manga which is very Beatles-centric where a couple of Japanese Beatles cover artists get transported back in time during the Beatles Decca-era.

We do a little trolling

I like all cat coat colours and patterns, as well. BUT, since my uncle’s cat is black, I think I’ll go with that.

Also, hairless kitties deserve some love, too!

If you were given ten million dollars right now, or the equivalent amount in your currency, what would you spend it on? (Not counting charity donations)

Hmmm… This is interesting. I’d buy a house (wouldn’t need to be a mansion, but one large enough to have a recording studio would be niceahdn_john_08_gif), a car, various musical instruments and music tech equipment… Then I’d be about done. I’d be well short of the $10 million, I’d have spent about $2 million. I’d keep a bit, give some to my parents, and give the rest to charities I guess. No point in hoarding too much money. john-lennon-salute_gif

I think I’d be mostly the same as you guys. I would definitely buy every book and album I’ve ever thought about buying and a really good sound system for the house. I’d probably also get a dog, and I think a tortoise.

Honestly I would mostly just keep it in my account, living as I do now. But I’d be buying more books, merchandise and stuff like that.

Hm, with 10 million I could buy that waterfront cottage lot on tiny Cooper Lake, so my sister’s family can launch their pontoon boat more easily. And me, I wouldn’t mind having some musical equipment like an ARP 2600 or similar old analog synth, maybe a new guitar or possibly a drum kit finally. Oh, and some filmmaking equipment would be nice too! And maybe an old album or two, something really cool like a nice copy of White Album #0000009 or whatever. apple01

That leaves about $9.?0 million…

I’d just buy a house, invest the rest, live off the dividends, never have to do a 9 to 5 job, desperately try to become a professional actor, fail to become a working actor but will do bit parts every few months that makes me feel like I’m contributing to society and then I’d do volunteering jobs on the side just to keep me going but I’d go to London every 2-3 months regardless, stay in like a 3-star hotel in the city and see the latest shows *inhales*.

Give some to my family, buy a suitable house in the countryside (nothing grand as the upkeep and cost soon gets silly), hire a chauffeur as I don’t drive, and find a way to live off the rest so I didn’t have to work. Then find a project to keep me happy and away from most of humanity.

I would probably buy two houses (one to live in and one as an investment), set aside a sizeable amount for college/rent or insurance or what have you that i would have to pay while in college, invest somewhere between 500,000 and 1 million in various stocks, and save/donate the rest. also, i would buy really nice presents for all my friends.

Love one another.

I’d buy a house and I’d get my parents and grandma new houses if they want. I’d also get a Beetle bc somebody decided to destroy mine last year (RIP). Set up my sister for college when she old. Then I’d have my grandpa invest the rest bc he’s into that.

What’s the best TV show you watched last year? (And by this, I mean a TV show you had not previously seen before last year– rewatches don’t count.)

 

For me, it was definitely, truly, without a doubt Schitt’s Creek. (Although The Queen’s Gambit was also very good.)

Love one another.

For me it was the Covid lockdown based BBC comedy Staged. 6 episodes running between 15 and 20 minutes, it featured David Tennant and Michael Sheen playing exaggerated versions of themselves during the first UK lockdown.

They are joined by their real life partners, the actresses Georgia Tennant (formerly Moffett) and Anna Lundberg, and the director Simon Evans (who also wrote and directed the series). The premise is that Tennant and Sheen were rehearsing a version of Luigi Pirandello’s play Six Characters in Search of an Author with Evans directing when lockdown happened. At that stage no-one knew how long lockdowns would last, and they decide to carry on the rehearsals via video-conferencing, with their lockdown lives going on around them, and it’s a wonderfully funny reflection on the pressures of the lockdown, along with the fantastically brilliant spikey Zoom exchanges of two egotistical actors attempting to better each other. They both play versions of themselves that can be quite vain and unlikable really well.

The third episode, as an example, is called Who the F#!k Is Michael Sheen?. (For those who don’t know, he famously played David Frost in Frost/Nixon.)

I do like these things where people play fictional versions of themselves, and this one is brilliant. Well worth searching out. In the US I understand it’s available on Hulu.

The BBC commissioned a second series in October 2020.
