Brad Pitt As John Lennon?
Because what we really need is ANOTHER FUCKING MOVIE about John Lennon, Brad Pitt has reportedly received Yoko Ono's blessing to produce and star in a biopic based on his life story. I realize that St. Angie Jo regularly farts out the melody to "Imagine," but that's still not a sign that Brad is the right one to play John Lennon in any medium. Not ever.
A source tells The Daily Star (I know, I knoooow) that Brad plans to master the Liverpool accent and sing all of the songs himself. The source went on to say, “Brad already has a writer working on the script. And Yoko has given the project her blessing so long as it’s true to John’s life."
The "source" probably heard that Brad Pitt once stared at The Beatles picture on Apple's website for more than 15 seconds and so they went with it. But if this is true, then Yoko has some serious explaining to do. If Brad dropped 50lbs by going on the St. Angie Jo Diet, he still wouldn't come close to looking like John Lennon. Personally, I'd rather see a John Lennon biopic starring Maddox as both Yoko AND John.

And I also think the Beatles are overrated. It's not that I dislike their music per se, its all their hypocritical hype - as another poster said - all that hippie blah blah blah when their personal lives didn't reflect it.
The "I don't like jokes" tag has never been more aptly applied, BUT an "Eat a bowl of dicks" tag would be more applicable to Bradley Pitt here.

And Jesus, will you fuckers get off Yoko? Granted I don't know alot about her music, but I have heard her cover of Money and I thought it was kind of punk rock and cool, before it's time really. I think a lot of the hateration on her was racism.

Oh no. Oh no no no no no. Just no!!! Don't they remember his Belfast accent in the Devils Own?? Brad can't do accents for shit, anymore than his missus can (Alexander? The fuck?) They should just stick to looking pretty, and they won't be doing that for much longer....

It's always funny until somebody gets hurt-then it's fucking hilarious
I don't think Brad is a good choice. He looks nothing like him and can't sing or do accents well.

I feel the same way. I'm no fan of his for exactly that reason. He was a major prick especially to his first wife and son and yet in public he's pretending like he's this spiritual person who wouldn't hurt a fly. Motherfucker you were abusive!

"ENOUGH!!!!"
If BRad played anyone connected with the Beatles, it should be Stuart Sutcliffe, the adorable Beatle who got kicked in the head with a steel-toed boot and died of a brain hemorrhage. It was his GF Astrid who came up with the Beatle haircuts.
But of course,Brad is too old for even that and he is ALL WRONG to play Lennon, lookswise at the least.
oh nooooooo. Only John Corbett should play John Lennon.

I don't know much about Sean Lennon, but I know that Julian Lennon has an amazing voice and is a great singer. Now I've got one of his songs stuck in my head. Really, when you listen to Julian sing, he sounds just like his dad.

I know! There has been ONE biopic of the Stones, and it focused on BRIAN FUCKING JONES, and we didn't even get the juicy bits - most of it is about him mindfucking his CONTRACTOR.
And the sad thing is that the Mick, Anita and Keef actors were AMAZING. They looked like their younger selves, they were good actors, they had the "vibe" those people have in old pictures... so why don't we have an HBO miniseries? i mean, you could make a whole TV series out of the brilliant shit in "Life" alone!

WORD! I detest Sean Lennon, he seems to think that he is God's gift to... everything, and he's this totally ordinary musician with no special talent. Then again, with Yoko Ono as a mother, how could he turn out any different?
I've always felt sorry for Julian too, the poor guy got shafted totally. It really shows the kind of bloated-ego selfish bitch that Yoko is that she wanted Julian shoved out in favor of her own spawn.
And really, the fact that John treated his first wife and kid so badly really made me NOT respect him. I mean, he went out and started this self-righteous preaching about love and peace and ending war and all that shit... and he was treating people like shit. Why should I fucking listen to him? Why should I idolize him for what he SAID when his actions showed he was a huge hypocrite?

John Lennon didn't have a good singing voice no matter how many pedestals people have built for him since he died, but it's fucking ridiculous of Bradley to think he can fucking sing either way.
If this is true, it's just another way of him to up his self-importance another notch. These two should just fade away.

==================================================
Just when I thought I might not ever be able to share this world with you you went and redeemed yourself. lol
I have to agree with you there Dog. Sean really does come off as a Dbag true enough.
I feel bad for Julian because Sean got all the loving and Julian seemed to get none . To this day Yoko doesn't give Julian the money nor respect I think he well deserves as his first child.
I want Brad Pitt to play John Lennon as much as I want Angelina Jolie to play Cleopatra.
If there is a Hollywood God, he will make it happen!
Hopefully, when these two BOMB in their respective roles, and are laughed/kicked out of Hollywood, they can go settle down in some other "exotic" country and raise those gaggle of kids and give them some damn stability!
If neither one of them EVER make another movie, they will not be missed! The majority of the public, save for about a dozen LOONS left, are growing tired of these two, and their redundant, "LOOK AT US", photo ops, and fauxmatarian" BS, and of studio's constantly kissing their asses, even when they can't produce profits for said studios!
Shit's wrong.
John Lennon died young so pepaw Pitt is a little wrinkly to play him. I could see Brad as Willie Nelson though.

Judging by the picture you used he'd make a better John Mellencamp than John Lennon.
Edit: Damn, somebody essentially pointed that out before me way down there.
Yes is true John Lennon was a great musician but as a parent/person he sucked. and then brad pitt doing the John Lennon? WTF? brad pitt is beyond trash,

I hope this isn't true. Lennon was very talented but his personal life was a mess. Are they going to show him beating the shit out of May Pang and his cruelty and dismissiveness to his son Julian? The time he banged some chick in a room at a party while Yoko and the other party goers played a record to mask their moans? LOL, goodness.

I'm not a big fan of the Beatles, but I do recognize they were very talented song writers. Their compositions were groundbreaking, especially in the way the used the studio. They also wrote incredible melodies. However, I still prefer the salty working class spirit of the Stones.

Meh, isn't crazy-ass-killer Phil Spector and his "wall of sound" usually credited with that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phil Spector created a certain kind of sound, by layering many parts on top of each other and adding full orchestration, that completely changed pop music, for sure. Just think of the sound of "Be My Baby" - that's Phil Spector.
But of you look at the songs he was working on (the hits anyway) their are a lot simpler harmonically than Beatles songs.
Everything is intertwined and influencing each other, anyway. You don't have a Beatles without a Stones (for contrast, and competition), you don't have Phil Spector without Les Paul, you don't have any of these guys without Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and Buddy Holly and doo-wop which comes from gospel...
i love the Stones but not Led Zeppelin, because they ripped off the blues and never gave credit where it was due. nothing comes from nothing.
