Said Mark Lewisohn: “What he didn’t know all the time he was saying that is that I was doing it. “Tune In: The Beatles: All These Years,” an imposing book, with 944 pages, it’s the first of three volumes, the other two expected to four and six years.The book constitutes interwoven individual biographies of each member of the Fab Four. Tune In is the lesser-known Beatles story-the pre-Fab years of Liverpool and Hamburg-and in many respects the most absorbing and incredible period of them all. Ten years in the making, Tune In takes the Beatles from before their childhoods through the final hour of 1962. Mark Lewisohn uses his unprecedented archival access and hundreds of new interviews to construct the full story of the lives and work of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Tune In is the first volume of All These Years-a biographical trilogy by the world’s leading Beatles historian.

Foreman’s book shows a varied complicated woman coerced into an unhappy marriage, and looking for independence and real role in the public world. What happened was Foreman came out publicly with a sort of back-handed repudiation of her interpretation of Georgiana’s complex character in her excellent book. The film stars the latest sexualized anorexia icon, Keira Knightley, and sensitive addition to the brotherly-male helper archetype-actors, Ralph Fiennes (director, Saul Dibb, writers, Jeffrey Hatcher, Anders Thomas Jenson-all men).

It was quite a downer really and I didn’t feel the ending was that uplifting either. The wumps do find one patch of trees and grass left and they know eventually the skies will clear and the buildings will fall and they are happy once the people of Pollutus move on to another world.

They had to leave their world and find another. One day the world is invaded by the blue peoples from Pollutus. The only creatures are happy little Wumps.
