Sam Mendes Turns The Beatles Into The Avengers

Sam Mendes casting the 'it boys' of the moment for a four-film Beatles 'Cinematic Universe' is the most expensive cry for help I’ve ever seen. We’ve reached the event horizon of creative bankruptcy where even the Fab Four need a multi-POV crossover event to justify a budget. It’s not 'groundbreaking'—it’s a franchise skin-suit draped over a legacy that deserved better than being treated like the next phase of the MCU. I’ll be there, obviously, dissecting every prosthetic chin and manufactured Liverpudlian accent, but don’t mistake my attendance for approval. This is cinema eating its own tail.
