The BEATLES FILM BLOGATHON – Day 1 Recap

Come with us on a magical mystery tour of amazing blogs as we present

Moon in Gemini took down some Blue Meanies in her critique of the classic Beatles cartoon Yellow Submarine.

Summer Reeves revisited a snapshot of Beatlemania at its most frantic, in the early Robert Zemeckis comedy I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

Love Letters to Old Hollywood offers a heartfelt and spirited defense of the much-reviled Bee Gees/Peter Frampton version of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

A Shroud of Thoughts provides a richly detailed look at another Beatles-inspired movie musical, Across the Universe.

And finally, nostalgic old me looks back at a couple of Monty Python-like music videos by George Harrison, “This Song” and “Crackerbox Palace.”

And there are more Beatles delights to come! Keep us bookmarked as we work our way through two more days of the blogathon!

Only one week until the BEATLES FILM BLOGATHON – Is there anybody going to listen to my story?

It’s only one week away from our Beatles Film Blogathon, and I’m…well, if not embarrassed, than certainly humbled to say that we have only three blogger entrants thus far.

Only THREE? One less member than The Beatles themselves??

I hope that this blogathon — besides honoring both Ringo Starr’s 75th birthday and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — will reflect the spirit of fun that The Beatles at their best provided us.

Although entries for the movies A Hard Day’s Night, Help!, and Let It Be are spoken for, there are still plenty of Beatles-related movies and music videos to blog about. Click on the blogathon’s banner (above) for more information about the ‘thon, and if you’re interested in blogging for it, please leave your blog’s name and URL, and the movie or video you want to blog about, in the “Comments” section below. Show your love of The Beatles by sharing it in our blogathon!
