climbed over my couch like a fucking gremlin to sprint for the remote to rewind to get a picture of Ringo tenderly touching George’s hand while George lights his cigarette. biting and yelling
Things I saw on the A Hard Days Night website archive (on interactual) PART 1
Long post. No IDs because Im doing this for fun and I have to return the DVD to my college library. Feel free to add ID if you'd like.
PART 2!
1: this is the first page from it. Clicking the enter button and the boxes all lead you to the next page but with a different bugs face on it.
2: The text is the same each time so here's all their photos
and the text
3a: the "Yesterday" button still has the photos of the bugs on the left side but it also has a letter!
3b: The "Here Today" button leads to these buttons. I'll get back to them later
4: After hitting the Launch this cute little screen appears (not john the other thing)
Each page will be on a different post because I recorded video of them
"Talk About Boys" page
"Act Naturally" Page
5: The Script Button (from 3b)
its exactly what one would expect.
I'm not going to post the whole 115 pages or the deleted/additional scenes in this post because I don't have the time for that right now. Maybe soon.
6. Silver Screen Legends:
its a page with some fun facts about filming!
in the image when you hover over it with a mouse it reads "In their very early days the Beatles really DID share hotel rooms - and so much more! Here's their hotel room from the film."
this one says "On the first day of shooting - director Richard Lester (centre) gives the Beatles some guidance just before shooting one of the sequences on the train" when you hover over it
this is the Method Acting photo. It says "On Thursday 9th April 1964 - Ringo filmed his solo scene on the towpath of the River Thames. 30 years later he revealed that the reason for his impressive acting that day was he had a rough 'night before' !"
This one talks about how March and April of 1964 were pretty cold months.
Photo from a cut scene in the film with Paul (left), Walter Shenson (centre), and Richard Lester (right).
Ringo and Wilfred Brambell (as Pauls Grandfather) being "absolute magnet[s] for the birds"
March 31st and April 1st the Beatles were filmed in front of an audience of screaming fans. Photo from before the fans arrived!
Richard Lester!
The Beatles "waiting for the sun" in between outdoor scenes
Its pretty late so Im ending it for now. I will post the rest another time! Next will be Local Lads Make Good! (I'll hyperlink it here when done)
“It was rather embarrassing wearing a school uniform on set while meeting famous people. I hadn’t been out of school all that long. -Pattie Boyd
My first date with George was arranged by the Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein. It was sweet that he was there because it was a terribly glamorous restaurant, where people wouldn’t admit that they might recognize George — grown-ups in those days were extremely grown up. Brian was always very entertaining and George and I were both shy so he helped break the ice. -Pattie Boyd
There are a number of photographs of Paul McCartney that prove not only did the boy like his inseams high and tight but that he also went without drawers quite a lot. Possibly, this is because he wore his pants so tight there was no room for them, but I’ve often thought, well, that’s not terribly sanitary or thoughtful to the wardrobe people. Still. It really does look to me like the only time he dependably wore underwear was when filming movies. Probably was forced to.
I’m going to share several pics that bear out my thinking but this one first. Because it surprised me. This is 1965, as they were getting into their suits for the Shea Stadium concert. One of the Beatles must held up a camera -- knowing Paul’s proclivities -- and dared him to disrobe for it. Paul seems to dare them right back. “Go ahead, take the pic, I dare ya!” A game of chicken, so to speak.
At first glance, one thinks he’s unzipped and showing off his tighty whitey. But... on closer inspection, one sees that... oh... something has been WHITED OUT in that picture! You can confirm it because part of his middle fingertip is also under the white.
Just look UNDER the white smears (which are NOT fabric, but drawn in). You can see the human flesh beneath.
And there you have it. Whoever dared him, got the full frontal treatment. Paul McCartney clearly had no insecurities about his manhood.
A few more “commando” shots where we see no indication of a brief line -- or that there was room for underpants:
The jury is out o this one. There MIGHT be a faint pantyline... maybe.
Jury is also out on this one. I think he’s commando. Thoughts?
FINALLY! A CLEAR PANTY LINE! And it looks like they needed to add a side panel to fit it!
Ridiculous, beautiful, nasty commando boy. I know people call him “the most baby of all times” (and I think that’s probably right) but some others call him a “slut” and... well... I’m going to just say he’s a man comfortable in his own skin, probably promiscuous, who liked to get himself teased a little with his own frictions throughout the day.
One more for posterity. Or... posteriority!
