johnny reflects


mmm, i needed (wanted) a black and white shot for this slot, and after looking through some older files, i saw this, and i just couldn't resist. as i'm sure you'll recognize, this is from the richard lester pop ...masterpiece? 'a hard days night,' starring the famous beatles. oddly enough, it was the last movie i saw in the theater. (that's a long story) it was great to see it on the big screen. johnny lennon plays himself, (mmm, big no kidding) and here he is, being his vain-yet-insecure cinnoman-haired self. i wish i could tell you the name of the actress over his shoulder, the one who stops him in the stairwell, but i don't feel like looking it up right now. by the end of the scene, she's not sure she's seen john lennon at all. its one of john's cutest moments in the flick, and he has several cute moments. (mmm, hey hey they all do.) hey really is lovely. like a smug but loving calico cat. so, god bless john... and give peace a chance, you know? (click to enlarge)
