why beatles why now
I'm exactly 3 weeks out today from incidentally pressing play on Peter Jackson's Beatles LOTR one ramblin' night and watching for maybe half an hour tops before before being so flooded. Flooded with the memories that in fact I knew every Beatles song back in the day--my first musical love as a teenager that I had just wandered off eventually from and forgotten. Flooded with the flash realization that every notion I'd had of the band AND their songs back then was highly restricted by my youth but also by the simplistic band mythologizing and lack of direct media of the 90's.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but surely I can't be the only one with this mind melting experience. How did you get here, blown away by the Beatles in year 2024?
#the beatles#get back#beatles lotr#gonna also tag#mclennon#because peter jackson so edits for that c'mon#it is ridiculous#my entire car driving time which is unfortunately lengthy is now the passionate wailing of 70's Macca#the 90s anti-mccartney propaganda was so strong i include the previous tag just because my teenage self would have never even THOUGHT#I would literally angsty teenage cry over john lennon#which he does deserve some of#but we can finally look back now and see how over the top and terrifyingly effective the yoko/yokolennon estate propaganda was#especially in terrorizing paul mccartney!#annnywayyy there's a post in tags for ya

Waaait... If Tolkien hated the Beatles and Morgoth created evil by singing awful music... does that mean Morgoth's discord was Beatles music? Just imagine him singing yellow submarine XD

Another modern AU
So in the real world, 50s and 60s, if you didn't know, Tolkein was neighbors with the Beatles. Yes, those ones. And he hated the Beatles (I love the Beatles, but I understand that a cranky old man would not want to listen to a bunch of young whippersnappers practice their newfangled music all God damn day).
So, when Bilbo adopts Frodo, he's not allowed to listen to the Beatles anymore. Frodo had parents who loved him so he's already heard all their good songs, but he's too insecure to tell Bilbo that he likes them. But sometimes he'll go over to Sam's house to secretly listen to the Beatles. (Sam loves the Beatles and is more than happy to have a reason for Frodo to come over)
Eventually, he finds out that Bilbo used to live next to the Beatles (like years later) and understandably freaks out.
Frodo(age 19): Holy shit you lived next to the Beatles!? Why the hell didn't you get their autograph!?
Bilbo (ageless): young man, I think you should go stay at your friends house tonight.
Frodo: but they're the fucking Beatles!
Bilbo: I won't have that talk in my home!
This fight is too ridiculous to actually hurt any feelings, but they're both too stubborn to let it go. Also, this idea can't sustain itself for an entire fic, but it would be a fun running gag.

They were neighbors at one point, if I remember correctly.

Is hating the Beatles key to making the most heart wrenching world changing fantasy, cause both Tolkien and Miyazaki despised them.

Snobby music elitists grumbling about Miss Megan Thee Stallion's cheeky references to Jujutsu Kaisen - are we just gonna forget that half of Led Zeppelin's discography is about being an extra in Lord of the Rings?
#let people like things gotdamn#Miss Meg's reference to Yuji's ideal type is fucking dope dont @ me#please remember that Rob Plant directly talks about “Gollum and The Evil One” in Ramble On#theyre ALL nerds your honour#Jonald Ronald Rolkien Tolkien was so charmed by Led Zep's fanboy behaviour he asked them to write for a possible LOTR movie#and then expressly forbid The Beatles from doing the same#as he should#jujutsu kaisen#megan thee stallion#led zeppelin#lord of the rings#music#also don't @ me about Led Zeppelin - i was raised on them like mother's milk#they are so beloved to me#this is why i can make fun of them#nerds

Cracking up over Andy's decision to make Beregond and Bergil sound Liverpudlian. All his other Gondorians have Yorkshire accents, then there's just they two. Being Scouse as hell.
Beregond on the city walls, spotting a Nazgûl like:

Oh, I’m the one who sent in the Beatles LOTR ask to hotvintagepoll! They weren’t all going to be hobbits- according to an article I found, the specific castings were meant to be John as Gollum, Paul as Frodo, George as Gandalf, and Ringo as Sam. So it’s actually uh, even MORE insane.
So I got one right! And actually Paul was my original call for Frodo.
it kinda seems like they just picked their favourite characters tbh
I stand by my casting choices though. I think Paul would be too optimistic for Frodo, while that would play in his favour as Pippin. George meanwhile would, I think, have done an excellent job portraying the relucant hero role.
But I'm glad we all agree that Ringo is Sam.

I have a working theory that acclaimed director Peter Jackson has the exact same fave trope(s) of "besties to enemies when really they probably wanted to be gay lovers" / "besties to gay lovers but make it angsty and tragic" as I do tbh
#here's my evidence:#sam and frodo in the lotr trilogy#his other movie heavenly creatures#his fixation on the beatles and telling paul that he thought john was in love with him or wtv hahahah#ill have to watch all the rest of his stuff as well to see but#thats 3 for 3#a man of exquisite taste tbh#p
