Other group members on the bus include the tour director, Jolly Jimmy Johnson (Derek Royle), the tour hostess, Miss Wendy Winters (Mandy Weet), the conductor, Buster Bloodvessel (Ivor Cutler), and the other Beatles.During the course of the tour, "strange things begin to happen" at the whim of "four or five magicians", four of whom are played by the Beatles themselves and the fifth by long-time road manager Mal Evans.

Gambit

I'm jumping the gun with this one.
All the talk from producers and actors about making more X-Men movie spinoffs for fan-favorite characters from the comics isn’t just talk anymore. If Twentieth Century Fox didn’t get catch the attention of X-Men movie fans by announcing X-Men: Apocalypse for 2016 before X-Men: Days of Future Past hit theaters last summer, then they sure did with the surprise announcement a few short months ago that Deadpoolwould also come in 2016.Now, they’re driving the point home by also confirming a  Gambit  spinoff that will star Channing Tatum. And the the best part is, Gambit is also coming in 2016. That’s right, we now have three X-Men movies coming in 2016. That’s more than Disney/Marvel Studios, more than Warner Bros./DC Entertainment and more than Sony for the year. The New Gambit

But when the Alliance denies Hyrath’s claim on the planet of Kavil and declares war on their world, Aden finds his plans in disarray. Entrenched in battle and told he won’t make captain, Aden’s world begins to collapse. How will he salvage his career and future during Hyrath’s darkest hour?

CHEAT DAY!EVERGREENsung by Barbara Streisand
in 1976





Evergreen is the theme song for the remake of A Star is Born  This movie was first produced in 1937 starring Fredrick March and Janet Gaynor. Then again in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason.
There was a movie theater across the street when I worked at the bank. I remember the week A Star is Born premiered, cars congested the street in long lines waiting to get in.
