The Grab Fabs are at it again, selling their ‘Let It Be’ film to Disney+.
Now, the film itself is surely for diehard fans only. As it’s very boring, and it’s also now been eclipsed by Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’ project.
Anyone else would put the Let It Be film out on DVD, so Beatles fans could buy it if they wanted. But that old fool Macca still thinks the Beatles are top of the tree and that they should ‘compete’ with the likes of Taylor Swift. They split up in 1970 and two of them are long dead for fuck’s sake.
Gen – Z knobends and the like aren’t really initerested in th Beatles, if they are interested at all. But Apple – on McCartney’s orders – still peddle the Beatles ‘brand’ and want them to be down with the kids. The ridiculous marketing and rehashing of their Red and Blue albums (with that awful ‘last’ single) last year showed that. It’s absolutely absurd.
Let It Be is like the Stones films One Plus One and Gimme Shelter (except Gimme Shelter is a better film). Antique curios for longstanding fans. And the Beatles trying to gain new and younger fans with such a dull and dragging pile of crap like Let It Be is quite pathetic and very greedy. They’re not skint by any stretch of the imagination. so wasn’t the ‘Get Back’ cash-in enough? Of course it wasn’t and it won’t be for that lot.
I dare say the barrel will be well and truly scraped. As Apple/Disney will probably release some home movie footage of George Harrison eating his egg and chips, or John Lennon watching the Magic Roundabout. And an album of them farting after a night on the beer and curry in Hamburg will be released on ten different versions of colured vinyl. Once, the Beatles legacy was respectfully and classily supervised by Neil Aspinall (RIP). But since Apple sold its arse and its soul to UMG and Disney, the Beatles will now flog absolutley anything.
