Sgt. Pepper - The Movie

Post by mikestop »

Tried again last night to sit through the Sgt. Pepper movie on cable T.V. As usual I only made it through about 20-25 minutes before I had to bail out. Is it just me, or does anyone else start to get "Douche Chills" after about 5 minutes of this movie?

Oh yeah, me too. Found the soundtrack album about a decade ago for a dollar. Bought it.

Miss my dollar.
How much!?!

I've had a promo copy of that LP for years. Several years ago, I met Peter Frampton at a local radio station promotion. I took the album, and stood in line for an autograph. When I got up to him, he looked at the album and said," You're gonna make me sign this, aren't you?".

He did sign it, though.

Well for me the movie AND the soundtrack are
unwatchable & unlistenable!
Ew, just got another Douche Chill thinking about it again.

Some things in life are better forgotten. This is one of them.

Once you've seen a ****, there's no need to look twice.

I have to admit I went to the premiere of that movie in Hollywood. The party at least was great! No one in Hollywood could beat an Alan Carr party.

Didn't see the movie and didn't buy the soundtrack so I don't have any emotional scars.

Turned me off from seeing it.

Me and some pals got together and watched it last summer.

I count it as one of those late 70's films that never thought the 70's would end. "Xanadu", and "The Apple" are the other 2!

All are disasters!

Come on... you know the pitch that was made... "The Bee Gees! They are hot! Peter Frampton! He's big now! Everyone loves the beatles!"

What could go wrong?!?

I do wonder how much money was spent on cocaine during the filming though.

I saw the promos on TV.

That was enough to convince me to avoid the movie like the plague.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

I feel so dirty...

It's an awful movie, but there are some sublimely ridiculous musical sequences that are really quite funny.

I remember all basses and guitars were Gibsons, a T-Bird, a Ripper(or was it a Grabber?), S-1 guitar, Les Paul.
