I was once in a band with a guitarist that had a bottle thrown at his head.
Except that he was standing in the audience when the asshole drummer from a notorious and terrible British 80s band threw it at his head. He got a scar just above his eye from that.
Anyway, it went to court. My friend received some compensation money from that incident. Used the money to buy a stereo Rickenbacker, which was pretty awesome back in the day when we were barely out of our teens.

I always find Paul Rudd a bit tiresome, and this "break the 4th wall" Beatles scene was no exception. However...

And a hell of a story to tell at parties. Who was the band, or are you not at liberty to say?

This was all in the newspapers at the time, so it's out in the public realm.

can agree, but still, the beatles scene was hilarious. I couldn't find a gif from the acid trip or I would've posted that, lol.I always find Paul Rudd a bit tiresome, and this "break the 4th wall" Beatles scene was no exception. However...

You think so? Maybe I watched it on the wrong night or something but I didn't really get into it. It was funny in sections but kinda felt like it was meh as a whole.

It definitely has its "meh" sections (@Sleezy E and I differ as to which ones LOL) but IMO some of it was funny enough to elevate the whole thing to "instant classic" status.You think so?

One major variable that might affect your level of appreciation: whether or not you'd seen all of the movies it parodies. Walk the Line is the obvious reference, but there are also big doses of Ray (2004), and Beyond the Sea (2004). Unfortunately, neither of those movies are all that great, so to fully appreciate Walk Hard, you've got to invest a lot of time in mediocre biopics first.
I once made someone sit down with me and watch all 4 of these movies over the course of a couple of days. By the time we got to Walk Hard, I think she was too burnt out to laugh.

Even that scene couldn't pull it from the depths of Meh for me.

With humor; when you get it and love it...it's easy. When you have to explain it to someone; that can definitely let a bit of wind out of the sails. If there was ever any wind in them to begin with
