HELP! is an amazing screwball comedy/adventure/musical film that was made in 1965. It stars The Beatles as themselves and is certainly one of my very favorite movies ever. I own a copy, of course, but if you haven’t seen it you should rent it. Because it rules.

From Rollingstone.com:
Slash has told Entertainment Weekly that he rejected a request from the producers of Glee to use Guns N’ Roses music in an episode of the series. His reasoning was pretty simple: He thinks the hit show is horrible. “Glee is worse than Grease and Grease is bad enough,” he told EW. “I look at Grease now and think, ‘Between High School Musical and Glee, Grease was a work of art.'” So, Slash is definitely not a fan of squeaky-clean singing teens. I’ve been a huge fan of Slash up until this moment and now…I just love him even more. Go Slash.
On This Date in 1979: The movie Rock ‘N’ Roll High School, starring The Ramones along with PJ Soles, Vincent Van Patten , Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel premiered in Los Angeles. Rock ‘N’ Roll High School, which is one of my favorite rock movie musicals ever, is a part of Shout Factory‘s Roger Corman Cult Classics series, being reissued on DVD in May 2010. Yay!
“Nothing’s Gonna Change My World…”
Yesterday Nicole and I went to see the new Beatles’ movie musical Across the Universe, which is weak on plot but still highly recommended if you love The Beatles and have a handful of magic mushrooms laying around.
