beloved, local musician
I am hoping it will be available on something other than Disney+ since we can't stream stuff at home. I do want to see this.

The clips I've seen look great. I don't know how I'll watch it--no money for the mouse from me--but I'm interested.

You don't deserve koa.
Say what you will about Eleanor Rigby, but she’d never have whitewashed the Scourging of the Fucking Shire.

I watched that WW1 footage he digitally enhanced. Mind blowing stuff, it looks like it was filmed yesterday. It really does make a difference.

It's so hard for me to get motivated to watch a rockumentary these days, or read one. It took me months before I finally watched all of the Grateful Dead one that came out a couple years ago (and I wasn't really wowed by that one either).
I probably will like this one when I finally get around to it. But I'd rather spend my time playing albums, if I'm gonna Beatle. I've hardly touched that sprawling White Album boxed set for example. work work work

So, I’m an episode and a half in and despite the overall sunnier approach, it still makes being in the Beatles look like the worst thing ever.
Ringo has the patience of a saint.

Yeah. I mean, if you’re a giant nerd who has listened to hours of the nagra tapes and even more hours of podcasts dissecting the nagra tapes, there’s not a lot new to learn. I guess it’s nice to know the Beatles are just like everyone else when it comes to dicking around in undisciplined rehearsals that go nowhere.

I understand what you're saying but I don't think that was it... I knew most of the anecdotes Paul shared with "filthy Santa Claus" Rick Rubin on that McCartney 3 2 1 thing and still found it captivating and ate each episode up.
For this, I think maybe "disappointed" is a better word than bored. For months this has been pitched as a revelatory new take on the Let It Be movie / era, and how the original film was edited to show them in a negative light but didn't tell the whole story - or even the real story. But watching it, my feeling was basically that it was a longer, HD version of Let It Be. Which is fine, and still worth having, but (like you) I still found that it made the atmosphere look tense and uncomfortable, shoehorned scenes of Lennon laughing be damned. Listening to them fuck around on their instruments was interesting at first but after a while I was like "play a whole song" and got tired of them just fucking around. I haven't watched parts 2 or 3 yet but I felt like you could have edited Part 1 down to an hour (instead of two and a half) and not lose anything.
TL/DR: I was expecting something besides a longer, HD version of the movie I'd already seen.
