Nowhere Boy

[Kevin]

you don't need to comb through rare interviews to know paul is sensitive. just listen to his music

Oh, now you've gone and ruined it. I was with you on the "primary sources" thing. Sorry, but I don't think pop/rock songs portray any real sensitivity in their author. Paul was a (very good) professional songwriter. Heartbreak Hotel was written by a team of professional songwriters. Pulling heartstrings is what they do. Much of Paul's songs appear to be excellently clever examples of extremely good songwriting. He knocks them out in any style at the drop of a hat. "You want a love song - I'll give you a love song. You want reggae - I'll give you reggae.) That's not to criticise - the man's a genius - just not a particularly sensitive one?    It's pop music, not Shakespeare.
Lennon does sensitive emotion much better, but is cursed by being an utter prat.
For the record I prefer McCartneys Beatle work overall, but my favourite Beatle songs are John's (Walrus and ADITL)

Just watched the trailer the guy theve picked for Paul looks like him but he is dwarfed by Lennons Actor, not that its a huge thing but wee things like that strike me as lazy if theyre gonna try and do it right then things like that should be spotted and resolved maybe give him lifts.. i also had no idea John decked Paul when they were younger.



and for some celeb gossip on the movie.

With an age gap of 23 years they said it would never last.

But today artist Sam Taylor-Wood, 42, announced she is to marry her 19-year-old toyboy Aaron Johnson.

The couple met when she cast the relatively unknown teenager  as John Lennon in her debut feature film Nowhere Boy, which premiered in London last night.

A spokesman for the couple confirmed their wedding plans this afternoon and said they were 'very happy'.

Paul had just turned 15 when he met John.  And he was nearly 2 years younger, so it seems reasonable to me that he'd be shorter than John.  As for John decking Paul, I have never heard anything about it.  Not that it means it's not true... but maybe they used some dramatic license there.

^^ haha

but i think he was like the kid who lost the babyfat one summer and came back handsome - because he never carried himself arrogant like "mr. goodlooking all his life" - and i think that's a key part of his sensitive personality

when you look at this school picture 'body language-wise', it's like he's an outcast - look how the boys in the back have their little clique and the girls seem like they don't know he's alive . . . i read that the people in this photo are trying to get him to take a new picture with all the same people . . . . i bet you it never happens !

aw, i can relate to that. there's a picture of me in my old basketball team, they had their shoulders basically linked while i was at the side, obviously looking left out. they treated me like crap except for about 2 team mates.

[fendertele]

a think we might be reading into it too much, its probably just the tall kids around the same height at the back and he wasnt around the same so was placed in the centre row and told to kneel down, if he had been at the back am sure he would have had his arm round his shoulder too like the other guys no ?.

^^
probably 
either way, my basketball team mates were real snobs

Who are the Nowhere Boys? are they a tribute act? or session musicians? I'd just be interested.
