I am loving these. And I agree with you Tassoula...someday our beloved U2 will be besmirched by some commercial giant just looking to make a buck. I'm only a casual Beatles fan, and I wonder what the hardcore fans thought of Across the Universe... Ha! I am loving these.

A fish cycling during a beautiful day while throwing a brick through a window with shadows and tall trees in the background; rejoicing about the fire he can't forget as he was rescued by Love - which appeared as a window in the sky. :) here’s a few more…here’s a scene set in Another Time and Another Place…

"There's an insect in my ear," he says. He manages to grab hold of it, pulls it out and says, "Stupid fly." He hurls it against the wall. Camera zooms in for close-up of fly falling from wall.

Here's a few that came to mind: If they were to name characters the way the Across the Universe folks did, there could be: Party (a girl) Grace Babyface Gloria Pete (the chop) They could show a man drowning (Drowning Man); they could show characters carrying each other (One). The characters could stay in "A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel." I'll stop there...
