(I wasn’t too interested in this movie, about the childhood of John Lennon, till my friend Sheila mentioned that the director was Sam Taylor-Wood. Sam Taylor-Wood is a British artist. I was curious to see what kind of movie she would have directed and happy that I would be able to see a complete work. She often works in multi-channel video installations and I have only ever seen stills.
Sheila and I discussed in great detail when and where we would watch Nowhere Boy. Finally, on a very specific and snowy night, I walked over to her house. Inside, it became clear that we had missed the “how” part – neither of us had Nowhere Boy on our persons or in our electronic devices.
So we played Tetris instead, and drank some tall glasses of water. We wondered if this was what it was going to be like when we were old. )
By far the funniest post yet on BTW, delivered in classic fashion, although I don’t think this is a comedy blog…Thanks for the laugh!
