It’s just different watching the movie again on the big screen. I noticed some things that I didn’t see the first time (like Max was the cabbie who nearly hit Jojo) and generally speaking, it was just fun watching them all over again.

There’s nothing like watching a movie you love on the big screen, especially if it has a lot of psychedelic action. The scene with Bono as Dr. Roberts just lit up the screen and well, I felt high after that. I’m not a big fan of Bono (U2 fans, try not to hit me with things that’ll actually hurt) but his version of “I am the Walrus” is great. His performance was totally hippie and laced with LSD(like I’d know how that feels, heh). Of course no one can say “googoo g’joob” like the one and only John Lennon, but man, Bono comes in a close second.

This is not a Bono fan page. Moving on.

At one point, though, the screen just went nuts, like when you buy pirated DVDs and it conks out on you halfway. Somehow, the person manning the booth up there fixed it and the movie went on without a hitch. Anyhoo, watching my future husband Jim Sturgess singing on screen is more than enough compensation for that minor fluke.

It takes courage and willpower to stop yourself from singing along, and I have to say I failed. I sang a little (in a teeny voice — really) with Sadie in “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road”, with the pimp and his hos for “Come Together”, and started bobbing my head like an idiot when Jim sang “Revolution”. When “All You Need is Love” came I just lost it. I was grinning, too, in a manner rather similar to the Cheshire Cat.

Of course the only problem when you go to the movies is that you have to share the experience with approximately a hundred others (I don’t know the exact number, I’m poor at estimating and I suck at math). Sometimes, these “others” are retards, like the ones we had to endure a while ago. In the “Let It Be” scene, there’s a black kid singing and some poor sap who has no sense of humor (and apparently not enough common sense to realize it) cracked a very unfunny joke. He said it loud enough to inform the entire room, too, like he needed attention or something.

Retard.

But no matter. I loved watching the movie again, and will probably do so repeatedly because I still have the copy in my PC. It just doesn’t get old. By the way, this was the first time I stopped eating halfway through a movie. It’s difficult eating and swooning and singing all at the same time you know.

In my previous post I forgot to mention one thing that I super loved (as in to the nth power imaginable): Max singing she loves you yeah, yeah, yeah at the end of “All You Need is Love”. I loved it the first time but somehow forgot to mention it. Memory gap. It’s just lovely and sweet and I can’t believe they were able to include that bit in a fashion that made sense to the plot (you know, in the same way that John Lennon sang those lines in the original version of “All You Need is Love”). Yes I am cheesy. I don’t care. It’s just super swoon inducing, and my ability to use adjectives has just been reduced to one word: “super”.
