February 2, 2008

Feb 9th. 6:30pm. House of Schuh.

There is no homework movie. We’ll continue our style from January, and simply watch and discuss one movie.
Look forward to seeing all of you.

Across The Universe

Musical based on The Beatles songbook and set in the 60s England, America, and Vietnam. The love story of Lucy and Jude is intertwined with the anti-war movement and social protests of the 60s. Over 30 Beatles’ songs are woven into the plot together with visual allusions to films Help! (1965), A Hard Day’s Night (1964), Magical Mystery Tour (1967) (TV), Yellow Submarine (1968) and Let It Be (1970).

    More Details of Taymor-Roth Feud
    After director Julie Taymor’s cut of Across the
    Universe, featuring music of the Beatles, was greeted
    with derision by preview audiences, it was recut by
    Revolution Studios chief Joe Roth and shown last week
    to a receptive audience in Phoenix, AZ that gave it a
    score of 86 percent, L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke
    reported Tuesday, citing unnamed sources. But when
    Taymor learned of the screening, insiders told Finke,
    she had an angry “meltdown.” One studio insider told
    Finke: “We were dealing with a woman who has
    absolutely no sense of commercial potential. At one
    point, [Sony Pictures Co-chairman] Amy Pascal took her
    to dinner and diplomatically told her ‘how good it
    could be’ if only she’d cut the movie. But Julie still
    refused. Indeed, that’s the refrain of everyone:
    there’s a great movie in there, somewhere. But, as
    [Taymor’s cut] stands now, it’s so complicated it’s
    just a bad movie.”
