"Even Batman had an issue where he tried to solve the Dead Paul controversy and as I recall, it turned out that Paul was actually the only survivor and the other three Beatles were dead! Sheesh."

Given another ten or twenty years Batman could be right.

Over here "shoot!" is a common bowdlerisation of "shit!", so it probably didn't indicate John wanted to kill anyone. Or did you think it was foreshadowing his future death?

In the States, you sometimes hear "Shoot!" as a substitute curse word. I don't know what Lennon had in mind, but considering how he met his end, it's a bit macabre.

Now I sort of hesitate to listen to "Happiness In a Warm Gun" again...

Go ahead and laugh. The Beatles would have broken up soon anyway but she was a huge contributing factor.

“Future Villains Band”

The ONLY lastingly good element of that odd, bad little movie.

Like 1963's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, another Hollywood vanity project. If ego had mass, Southern California tides would be weird.
