POPS"Tolkien killed a Beatles LOTR movie" more: McCartney felt that its demise was probably a good thing, as it would've put the spotlight on Lennon, who wanted the showiest role, and potentially irked the other Beatles: "The strength of the other films which we made is that we're all equal." And, while the idea of a pre-CG live-action Lord of the Rings doesn't sound particularly enticing, the fact that the Beatles were behind it doesn't necessarily mean it'd have been bad. Lest we forget, George Harrison was actually a pretty decent film producer; his HandMade Films company was behind Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Time Bandits, Mona Lisa and Withnail and I. Of course, Ringo made Cavemen and Paul wrote and starred in Give My Regards to Broad Street, which probably wipe the slate clean.

And at first I thought that was kind of unfair…I mean, it’s fantasy versus sci-fi, a show versus a movie: dangit, that wasn’t just an unfair comparison, it was a…a…and then I thought, wait. Maybe…maybe…he had a point. I mean, when I thought about it:
