The movie Hours and times is crap, I have a vhs copy of it really does suck. And while I'm on about movies, I just bought Backbeat on ebay and I forgot how much it sucked as well, as I saw in the theatre in 93. Ian Hart portrays John in both films, he is very stiff and speaks his lines almost robotically. Also in both films overacting abounds and scripts are cheesy. If they can't make a realistic movie, why bother?

What's wrong with being Irish ? John was Very Proud to be Irish!

He was Irish? I didn't know. I knew Paul and George were part Irish. Or am I wrong there too? Anyway, all Beatles movies suck because they don't use their music and they're always cheesy. I wish they'd do it right already. They need to make three separate movies. The early years, the Beatlemania years, and the break up years. A Beatles trilogy! With the actual music, British actors that can actually play instruments and a script that doesn't rely on gossip.

There's nothing wrong with being Irish, I was just saying that they got him the wrong accent

He even bought a private island in Clew Bay, County Mayo, Ireland known as Dorinish ... it was 1967 and it seems that it was a temporary getaway for John.

John and Yoko purchase two small islands called Dorinch (20 acres) in Clew Bay off County Mayo, Ireland, for 1550 pounds.
