selenakWouldn't you know it, it's been rainy all the way, so no Saturn and Jupiter for me this night. Though today's google GIF is cute. Also ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
startrekholidays will be online soon, which I'm very much looking forward to.
In the meantime, have some links. Peter Jackson, taking a break of WWI material in his post Tolkien life, is curently having a go at the many hours of footage Michael Lindsay-Hogg shot of the Beatles during that other miserable winter, of 1969, which was intended as a project to get their creative juices flowing and the band spirit reviving again and ended up documenting why they were falling apart instead, resulting in the film and album Let It Be. Audios of all the unused footage have been making the rounds for decades (proving, among other things, it wasn't misery all the way and containing such gems like "Did you dream of me last night?"), but Jackson is the first one since Lindsay-Hogg to have access to all the film material, and the new documentary - called The Beatles: Get Back - supposed to result from this should have hit the big screen this year. Like so many things, it got delayed by Covid, but today, he's given us a promising glimpse. Which is also poignant in a way it wouldn't have been back then - so many people we see are dead now, John and George of couse, but also Linda and George Martin (who still looks like the James Bond of poduces in that footage). When I was a wee fan, I saw someone's video tape copy of Let it Be the movie, but never saw it since, only the song excerpts on YouTube. I must say, this outtake makes me look forward to the Peter Jackson version.
