Nowhere Boy

The guy on the left is supposed to be Paul.

YOU: That title sounds like "Nowhere Man", you know, the Beatles song.

ME: Yeah.

YOU: So is it about the Beatles?

ME: Close. It's about John Lennon.

YOU: Is this like a Beatles prequel?

ME: You could say that.

YOU: Cool! Are Paul, George and Ringo in it?

ME: Just Paul and George. The story doesn't reach their Hamburg days. Every Beatlemaniac knows they started hanging out with Ringo in Hamburg.

YOU: Well I didn't know they started hanging out with Ringo in Hamburg.

ME: That's because you're not a Beatlemaniac.

YOU: Is Yoko Ono in it?

ME: I'm not even answering that question.

YOU: Are there any hot girls in it?

ME: Well, there's Lennon's mum (see, you have to pronounce it as "mum" because they're British), and there's Aunt Mimi, played by Kristin Scott Thomas. Although the last time she looked hot was in the first Mission: Impossible.

YOU: Does Daniel Radcliffe play John Lennon?

ME: No. Johhny Boy is played by Aaron Johnson, who played Kick-Ass in Kick-Ass.

YOU: Come on, does he not look like John Lennon?
ME: Must be the glasses.

YOU: Does John Lennon get to kick ass in this movie?

ME: No, but I'll kick your ass if you don't stop with the stupid questions.
