Get Back.

[Drunk Monk]

Finished ep 3 of Behind the Scenes of “Let It Be”. This doc could have used an editor. I agree w/KB that some other tack, like following the evolution of each song, might have been a more interesting than the chronological format. The calendar constantly turned up the tension, but they could have tried to better underscore when milestones were achieved (like they actually got a successful take / the one we know and love, or someone proposed the rooftop finally!).

Also, the subtitling was inconsistent. I would have preferred it on for all the dialog, and if there were multiple people talking, to anchor each’s subtitles to a different part of the screen. 

Other thoughts:

John is a crackup. 
Ringo never looks like he’s working hard. 
Michael Higgs-Boson or whatever his name is seems like a jerk. 
The Bobbies were so patient. 
Brits (on the street) are funny. 

I want toast with marmalade. 

I think it's telling that both of our D00Musicians would've been more interested in watching the development of the individual songs chronologically, than the calendar progression. That would make for an informative recut, but I liked the chaos and pressure cooker of the calendar. I've always worked against deadlines - still do - so I could relate to that. 

I had the close captions on because I left them on after watching some foreign cinema so everything was subbed. And when the doc had subs, the CC turned off. I use CC a lot, because I tend to watch TV late at night at low volume, and I'm often munching on crunchy stuff. 

Other thoughts:
I think John was high a lot. He did say a few things - like an obscure reference to something that sounded like a pot code word, plus his request for pep pills. 
Ringo's farting confession was the most Ringo thing I've ever heard.
The only crew member who seemed like they really understood the magnitude was Parsons.
I felt badly for those Bobbies. I wonder where they are now.
Those opinions were hilarious, especially the whiners. Wonder what they'd say now?

Yes on toast with marmalade. And tea. Plus some pep pills too please.
