I just finished reading Fire and Rain, a look at the music and times of the 70s, focusing on the break up of the Beatles, Crosby/Stills/Nash and Young, and Simon and Garfunkel, and the rise of James Taylor and other 'soft rock' writers. I was 13 in the 70s, just beginning to get a sense of the world, and eating up the music of the time. I enjoyed finding out much of what was hidden in those days. It does talk about Across the Universe - this was in production when the Beatles broke up and basically they didn't want to lost money. So when Let It Be was released, the went ahead with the movie, using the songs, and putting together a montage of the groups various activities. It was pretty much a flop, but it was certainly of its time
As for the Walrus - it was fun, like nursery rhymes that don't make sense are fun to little kids. Thats my take on it anyway

The Social Network
I just watched The Social Network, which is about the rise of FaceBook. I really enjoyed it and I thought that both the storyline and the acting were superb. It's nice to see a film that makes you think every now and again...

I enjoyed that movie and I thought the script top notch even thought I didn't understand all the computer lingo, the acting was brilliant...but when it comes to big money-out goes friendship.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

They're great "cold weather so hunker down" movies - I remember watching the first film one dark rainy Sunday afternoon - perfect

Saw the English language version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with Daniel Craig. Good cast, faithful adaptation, but what's up with that bizarre dark opening? Not better than the Swedish version, not worse--not necessary.
