Tangentially, the Boss revealed to me yesterday that she was traumatized by the scene in Orca where a woman has her leg ripped off (I've never seen the movie myself).
They ain't called killer whales for nothing.
Technically they are. They don't kill people although they do kill lots of other things, rays, seals, sharks but they didn't name them Killer Whales human's did.
They are still called whales though right? Hey it's just a movie you know
Yes but technically that isn't right either they are dolphins.
You do know they never called themselves dolphins.

Would you call yourself Dolphin if you had the nickname Killer Whale?

I see Peter Jackson's new project is putting together a lost Beatles film of the making of Let It Be and the last live performance on the Apple rooftop.
I am very excited about this project! Hopefully he can salvage the mess that was the Let it Be film and make something brand new, that isn't so fucking depressing
If it isn't depressing, it'll be some very sneaky editing to construct a false narrative. The band were in bad straits in January 1969. That they still produced a lot of marvellous music is because, well, they were the fucking Beatles. The amazing thing is that they didn't just pull the plug right there and instead made one more wonderful effort in Abbey Road. Actually, that would be the way to make it less depressing—the point of the narrative has to trace massive internal discord but still gets to Abbey Road.
Saw an interview with Jackson last night. He has viewed all the footage, obviously, and there is a lot of it. He said that despite the tensions in the group at the time there is a lot of great stuff especially in the studio as they are creating some great Beatles tracks. he said you would never know the issues existed.
I got the impression his focus was more on their creative genius than the fall out.
That's a legit angle, don't get me wrong, but to paper over the fact that these guys were really sick of each other, magnifying insecurities and pet peeves, would be to ignoring the elephant in the room. That they did produce a number of amazing songs—I know people shit on it as overly maudlin, but I love "Let It Be" for its earnestness—is best appreciated by foregrounding that discord.
This is all true - but I was listening to the "30 Days" boot not that long ago and was thinking that despite the bad blood - they sounded like they were also having a lot of fun. I think there could be two narratives: the band falling apart - yet still finding some shared purpose musically.
