h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello GB
I hope you don't mind if I ask what you thought of the Museum of Science & Industry, what you saw, liked, disliked and did? Not only am I hoping to turn people's experiences into a guide entry (see A87743596 for details) it's also nice to know.

Hope you're still enjoying the Superman films!

Hello – did you mention the Beatles Biopics project as you were interested in signing up to it?

<BB<

Hi BB, I saw it already had a sub-ed, but I couldn't find anything else going on. I am currently writing but if your project is ready and just awaiting a sub-ed replacement, I'll take it on, as I already have a vested interest in the subject

Hi BB do you want me to tell you the changes/tweaks here, or wait until I submit it to PR? I have subbed Lennon Naked, if you want to read it through and comment. Now moving on to Nowhere Boy (which is the only one I've seen).

If you'd like to post comments here then I'll be happy to read them. I've not read these articles for 2 years, so I'd like to see if there's anything to update since then. (Possibly a link to the Superman films when we mention Richard Donner in the A Hard Day's Night section, for instance?)

If you have to see only one, then Nowhere Boy's a good one to see. I'd also recommend 'Backbeat'.

I'm just re-reading Lennon Naked now

<BB<

I'm sure you mean Richard Lester and I've added a link to A67794114 on his name

That's the one!

I find it quite staggering that Paul McCartney was not thanked for his input in Nowhere Boy. You say:
<>

"Yoko Ono is therefore thanked in the film's credits" do you mean for allowing the use of John's rendition of "Mother" or did she also help with other aspects? (I find that hard to believe as she sisn't know him then and plays no part in the film)

Yoko Ono was thanked for allowing the use of the song 'Mother', she didn't really do anything else.

Did you know that Anthony Minghella, who the film is dedicated to, went to the same school that I did? (Not at the same time, though).

<BB<

I guessed as much (Yoko).

Ah, I can beat your claim to fame, I was baptised by John Hurt's father!

I helped walk Paul Daniel's son's dog Jaz, if that helps?

Have you seen the news about the Olympic Torch? It's blown out at least twice. I told you there was a back-up and so Naughtyman's blowing the flame out in Superman III was annoying but not that serious

<BB<

Indeed you did and the mother of one of my FB friends carried it at 6pm yesterday in Chester

I was just wondering if you need the section "John Lennon's Real Childhood Drama" in 'Nowhere Boy', considering the story of John Lennon's father is related in much greater detail in "Lennon Naked"?

A good question about the section. The question is how much repetition should be allowed in university projects? I was under the impression that each article should be written as if the reader has come to the article via the Improbability Drive and has not read any of the other articles in the series, in which case the section probably should remain, but I agree that someone who is reading the whole project won't really want to read the same thing twice.

Mind you - you are going backwards. I had intended someone to read 'Nowhere Boy' first, as that film was released first, as a summary. Then followed by 'Lennon Naked', which goes into greater detail.

Nowhere Boy:

Eric Griffiths

Perhaps you could explain that to me, is the name wrong or were there two men by that name?

Also - did you watch the Jubilee Concert on Monday night?

Beatles Biopics A67794114

<<The Hours And Times explores the possibility that he had a homosexual relationship with Brian Epstein and Backbeat that he had feelings both for his best friend, Stuart Sutcliffe.

doesn't make sense...

<> not sure what "clean" means there... *not dirty*? or *not taking drugs*?

Now on 'Birth Of The Beatles' A67794178

<>

I haven't seen this film, so discount this comment if you feel it's not relevant. I think John's reaction here "anything that's loving that's between people is alright" is the opposite of what you've said: he means that one person attacking another and causing them harm and/or pain ISN'T alright. A sort of reverse psychology comment.

Now on 'John & Yoko' A67794321

<>

arrested for 10 years?

<>

"There is also a humorous scene near the film's end" then "Yoko Ono later has a full-blown tantrum", can you confirm that these are chronologically correct? If the tantrum happened first then you can't say "later" there.

<>

do you mean Tony and Kyoto were hiding [...] and then Kyoto attended school under the name of Ruth Holman? Or just Kyoto [was hiding]
