So, should I let Amber and Alice see the Beatles' "Help" film?

I dug out the most recent Blu-ray and George's credit and reaction are in the right place.

He does say it a minute later as well, so maybe I had it wrong all this time!

i saw this for the first time the other day! (a hard day's night too.) i loved the godardian color filters and superimposed text and the have your cake and eat it too aspect of making a completely off-the-rails musical comedy spy film. i didn't enjoy the nonspecific racism in its depiction of an "eastern" death cult (it's a parody of bond films but in this way i think it reinforced bond tropes instead of undermining them.) it also kinda suffers from having only one plot point. but boy is the cinematography gorgeous. also: the exciting adventure of paul on the floor is probably my favorite thing that happens in either film

I watched this last week and definitely agree with Brad on the racism and white casting of Asian characters. It's a shame because the Beatles themselves are very charming and hilarious throughout.

I've never watched A Hard Day's Night before, but I have to check that out while I'm on a roll.
