Scheduled for release tomorrow is a short film entitled "Turn Me On, Dead Man."
According to the Frayed Edge Films website, "This is a high concept period piece serving as an allegory for the Paul McCartney 'Paul is dead' conspiracy theory/hoax."
The 22-minute film stars Joe Reegan and David Moscow. The director, Adam Blake Carver opted to create a fictional band with Beatle haircuts. Carver's description of his inspiration for the film reveals that he is not a first generation fan, or even that much of a fan in general. He spoke of discovering the clue of Lennon singing "He's dead, he's dead" when the song "Let It Be" is played backwards. Not many would attribute the vocal of "Let It Be" to Lennon unless he or she truly believed that John was "the man of a thousand voices." There is some evidence that Tyler Knell, the Co-Writer and Co-Producer of the film actually listened to and enjoyed the Beatles music, sometimes even playing it forwards.
The film contains original music by the Bumblebees based on various styles reflecting the time period. I don't think they quite nailed the Beatles sound, but they seem to have all of the tools necessary for a Rutles tribute band. If you go to the backstage section of the film's website, you can see and hear them in action. They state in the music section that they are willing to make music "in exchange for anything" so I would imagine that you could get them to play "Paul Is Dead" music at your next backyard cookout.
Based on the advanced information, I believe the film does have at least one redeeming feature----A Volkswagen.
With a release date of June 18, 2009, I assume that "Turn Me On, Dead Man" can be seen somewhere tomorrow.
Perhaps Iamaphoney has gone about this thing in the wrong way...

Second!
Lennon on Let it Be? This should be a hoot.
At least the Volkswagen is white.
I was replaced by a tall skinny guy named Sergeant, just like Paul.
"He spoke of discovering the clue of Lennon singing "He's dead, he's dead" when the song "Let It Be" is played backwards."
Perhaps he saw the Rotten Apple video where that is included.
That is the first I heard of it.

I smell a grandfather aleister!

No, he was replaced by a guy named Sgt.

I mean that Iamaphoney could have made a better movie than these guys and might have even made a profit.

have you seen it already?
tafultong is all-seeing
If there were two more trailers that'd be the whole movie.
There is always a chance, however remote, that these guys might have something new to say.
Turn me on dead man.
The film is total crap. This blog, however, is most entertaining. It titillates my inner recalcitrant juvenile.
Inculcate exiguous grandiloquence!
Hopefully, Taf will have a Bday tribute tomorrow.
Full of weed.

"He spoke of discovering the clue of Lennon singing "He's dead, he's dead" when the song "Let It Be" is played backwards."
Hmm. . . must've got that from the brain trust at NIR.
No, dick, you can hear it for yourself on one of the early iamaphoney videos.
Nothing like a sucker punch. From a GOON!
POTVIN SUCKS
instant karma's gonna get you
slap you right up side the FACE
where is jebus leland?
Getting desperate?
Getting desperate?
is that bad?
no, but you still need goals
> for when the desperation is over
It's the English way.
See? This film shows how simple it is to find Beatle look and sound alikes.
It's scary, really, how much the lead looks like Paul. I think he might be a clone.
some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you cant get
I messaged the writer/director a few months ago about the film and that it would make a decent full length motion picture if pursued, didn't get a response.
It will most likely end up on Sundance or IFC as a short. This guy is an up and comer in the industry.
But you only want the ones that you cant get
damn skippy
jif is okay though
We don't need no steeeenking goals.
Why not?

That's why you're not in the film business, Tafultong. IAAP's videos look like the half-assed montages of a kook. There's a reason why the world isn't enthralled with the Rotten Apple series but to each his own. The trailer shows much more adept film-making than IAAP ever did that's for sure.
But hey ,why not withold judgement until someone actually SEES the film?
I saw crappy lighting, bad wigs, fake mustaches, and poser acting. And that was without dialogue.
Phoney has 100 videos and still no discernible plot or narrative. I'm sure Phoney could edit a film, I just wouldn't pay him to write or direct one.
We'll just put the movies any damn place we shoes. With fake mustaches on.
I saw crappy lighting, bad wigs, fake mustaches,
It was a fake mustache, it was a fake mustache, it was a fake....
Wow! They even picked up on that!
We'll just put the movies any damn place we shoes. With fake mustaches on.
In suitcases!
That's a great idea!
Yeah, like that horrible Paul McCartney impersonator, "Faul." Geesh! You think they could have found someone that could have looked and sounded more like the real thing. Must've just picked that dude up from a local Beatle sound-alike contest.
We quit (again)

Is John Lennon alive and well and living in rural Ontario? That's the question an obsessed film undergrad and his reluctant girlfriend set out to answer in Let Him Be , a flawed but earnest and sometimes engaging low-budget feature by Peter McNamee that did a spin through a handful of Canadian festivals last year.
If anyone here is a member of the David Icke forum would you kindly inform the ignorant teenagers over there that "Condensed Cream Of Beatles" is NOT an Apple film? For one, the correct title is "Braverman's Condensed Cream Of Beatles" and it's a 16mm short film made by Academy Award Winning filmmaker Charles Braverman who was working for ABC's "Good Night America" program back in the early 70's. It was shown before Geraldo Rivera's interview with John Lennon wherein he talked about The Beatles reuniting. The film still makes the rounds at film festivals and Beatles conventions. It has never been released on video due to a music rights dispute with Apple, who also like to sue Beatles conventions but that's another story.
Charles Braverman went on to direct lots of television programs like Xena Warrior Princess and St. Elsewhere and also directed a short documentary about the Beatlemania stage show (Apple sued that too).
I'm told MikeNL is the source of spreading false information by never doing any research into who was responsible for the short film and putting it up on YouTube. How about some honesty for a change, MikeNL?

Sounds like it might be a William Campbell Soup film.
nobody was really shoe
If one were to undertake the monumental task of correcting falsehoods spread on the David Icke forum, here, NIR, and elsewhere on the net it would take many lifetimes of work that ultimately would be pointless. Either people learn how to research and ferret out truth from falsehood, or they remain ignorant-- no amount of factual corrections will change that.

...Your eyes, I say, your eyes may look like his [yeah]
but in your head baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is
i really dont know where it is
and your mind, your mind, is so full of bread... [getting money]
No; wrong interpretation.
She means "numb". Cloudy thinking on hearing about their deaths.
In shock on hearing the news.
i really dont know where it is
Nowhere Man
Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie,
take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can
send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, you're sitting back
In your pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away
It's TOO LATE. You HAD YOUR CHANCE and you MUFFED IT!
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
