Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

A Hard Day's Night World Premiere

Nudge nudge wink wink
Film: A HARD DAY’S NIGHT (1964)
Time: Saturday April 12th at 6:30 PM
Movie Theatre: TCL Chinese IMAX, Hollywood, Los Angeles
Description: When the Beatles made their feature debut 50 years ago, nobody expected much. The rock 'n' roll musical had been around for a decade without producing many great films. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT changed all that. Directed kinetically by Richard Lester, the film captured a day in the life of the teen heartthrobs in high style. Writer Alun Owen toured with The Beatles for weeks to capture their characters and speaking styles. Lester let the Fab Four throw in a few improvisations and surrounded them with adept comic actors like Wilfred Brambell as Paul McCartney's grandfather and Victor Spinetti as a hassled television director. Made for $560,000, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT grossed ten times that in the U.S. alone, making it one of the most profitable films of all time. The album shot to number one instantly, which is hardly a surprise considering that the picture introduced The Beatles classics "All My Loving," "Can't Buy Me Love," "And I Love Her," “Tell Me Why" and the title tune, which was written by John Lennon in one night. World premiere restoration from the original negative and presented in collaboration with Janus films.
