once again thinking about princess violet from tale of tales (2015). like Yes return to your kingdom covered in blood and grime with your abusive husbands decapitated head as your father weeps and begs your forgiveness because he was the one who sold you to him in the first place! have the movie end in a scene where youre crowned queen and begin to rule instead of your hubris ridden fool of a father!

Banger Brian Epstein moments

(highlights from this post)

[houppellande]

“I think the image of Brian was that of a very soft, sensitive person, which was not the case. He was a very strong-willed person. I remember when John Lennon refused to do an interview during a tour because the people out there were fascists or something like that. Brian went nose to nose with him. He took his tie and said, ‘John, you’re soft,’ and stared him down. And you could see it, John backed away. Brian had full control and they respected his thinking. Brian, in a way, saw them like his children. He understood them. When one of them complained, he would say, ‘I know he loves me and I love him.’ He used to go on about their relative talents and things like that. He had great insights into their personalities. He once gave me a precis of the Beatles in Cleveland. George was always concerned about publishing and things like that. Paul was concerned about the Beatles’ image, the fan clubs, the opposite of a counterculture approach. John and Brian related perfectly because they saw eye to eye. Ringo was the least talented but was not uptight about it. Brian was the total manager of the Beatles. He kept a circle around the Beatles. Nobody got to the Beatles without having to go through Brian and he controlled every facet of their professional career. No press conference was run without Brian having it under his control. No statements were made, no deals were made without Brian being in complete control. It was a one-man operation.”
