New Movie: Chapter 27

Lindsay Lohan is to join Jared Leto in the cast of Chapter 27, a new movie about the assassination of John Lennon. Jared Leto will play Mark David Chapman, the killer, while Lindsay Lohan will play a Lennon fan who happens to meet him a week before the shooting.

So, Lohan has a theme here:

1 movie about Robert Kennedy’s assassination – Bobby
1 movie about Lennon’s assassination – Chapter 27

Interesting year for Lindsay.

    I Grew up with the Beatles, I loved their music, even when it went wierd, I still tried to understand it. I listen to music, the lyrics and all, not just to the tunes. Words are Important to me, especially in song, so I have given great thought to this matter, many days and months, about this movie, it is made, is being shown all over the USA now. But when it comes to a theatre near me, I will not be watching it. I remember the breakup of the Beatles band, and the reasons for it, John wanted to go in a direction musically that paul and george did not want to go, the contention got so sharp between them that the band disolved because of it. we all were devestated by it. Music, especially the Beatles Music, had become a sort of philosophy to us, the peace songs, and love songs, and songs about a better dream for our Earth, we thought nothing could stop us from making the world that way. We did not know about the power of the dark side, the power of greed, the power of love for authority, which many men mistake for true power; and cannot have same, because all real authority comes from and ultimately belongs to GOD Himself, and he only lets us have our positions of authority to see how we will do good with them. He gives, and takes away, for it is HIS to do so. those who worship their supposed power of authority, usurp if they could His right thereof. The power of lust for ownership of possessions, which takes money, lots of it, so we get caught up in greed, which has it’s own motivations, most of which have contrary intentions to love and peace. Intentions which have nothing to do with doing good deeds for our fellow man/woman. These things got in our way, and we did not succede in the dream that was in the song. So the best thoughts of a generation of children, fell shattered and forsaken on the concreate of our high towers, for the name of commerce, we abandoned our goals, and woke up and realized that only a handfull of us really believed the message, the others were too busy making money off of it. The Beatles got rich too, and left off the path they tried to set us on with their words. When you are that wealthy, you don’t have the worry of whether the world is truly suffering or not. It becomes a thing in the background, like news heard in a far-off country, not close and personal. Johns death was meaningless, just a murder on the street, by a deranged person that no one stopped in time; and his killer robbed civilization of a truly great if somewhat flawed dreamer, who wasn’t done dreaming the world a better place, inspite of the capitolism he got drawn into with his personal fortune. Lindsay I Love You, and I support You, but this movie, like ” Bobby ” ( which I have seen ) I will not buy or add to my collection. Make no mistake on this All MADISON AVE. ever wanted was to make money on the whole phenomena, they never believed in it for a moment, their GOD is money, and their Credo is Profit, period. They marketed to US a whole generation, something they themselves did not believe in, because they saw a potential for enormous profits, and when WE started to believe in it, they Madison Ave tried to make the whole thing a FAD, so it would go away, because it threatend their livlihood, if the general public started to actually do what the songs suggested and enjoined us to do. They Succeded in making it a FAD, and we had the plastic hippies as a result, and the whole thing collapsed, the whole movement was undercut, and the Beatles, were left disillusioned as a result, this led to the contention about the direction in which their music was going to go or continue to go. So now you have the story, from one who lived through that time and saw it happen, and understood all that was going on. Madison Ave. didn’t fool me, I just couldn’t stop them. For all my power, I couldn’t stop that. Greed and Profit, triumphed that year.
    GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.

    i’ve seen previews and bits and parts of this movie. and i think when i see it, it will be very hard. but this movie has a point and as much as we all hate chapman and we dont want to give him any more attention and just forget about lindsey this movie is about what was going threw chapman’s mind at the time which is a different perspective because anybody can make a movie about john lennon we have many of those but this is different and very deep. Very sad but not a bad movie at all.

    OMGZ jessica UR SO WRITE, i change my mind!!! i hope next they make a movie about columbine with lots of hottiez playin the killas, LOLZ!

  4. By Jessica

    Ok, I was going to say a lot of stuff but Joey and Martha was right on it! And elyse I think you are the one that is crazy..WOW..you sound like you need some serious help sweetie. And Brad it’s not just about your rights moron….WE you know other people in the world??? We have rights to, so I have a right to see this movie, I might like it or hate it. Is it ok if I make that choice myself? And saying the killers name does not determin if you are a TRUE fan stupid! We do live in America right? And thats gives us a right to make our own choices right? Just like everyone that will NOT see this movie. Because you have a choice, so heres a little help with all the crazy people that thinks this movie is sooo bad. First SEE the movie before opening your mouth, Second, If you don’t want to see it, then fine go see a chic flick or something I don’t care, but I am a fan and always will be, I hate what happend to John, but my god people YOU ARE THE ONES MAKING MARK FAMO BY RANTING ON ABOUT HIM!

    Hailey, you are awesome. I completely agree Thanks. Peace to you to.

  8. By elyse

    really i know about 40 thousand people who would.

  9. By Emily Adamson

    Really I know about 40 people who would not agree with you.

  10. By elyse

    oh emily. that is not good music.

  11. By Emily Adamson

    Oh Toby. I do listen to good music guns n’ roses and def leporad just to name two

  12. By Hailey

    to shiloh lennon, you sound like a completely amazing person and i really respect you. everything you said i completely agree with, down to the last word. and for everyone else, the comments are a little nasty. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and can think whatever they like. if you don’t want to see the movie, don’t. no need to harass others. i’m obsessed, i mean extremely obsessed with the beatles, especially john lennon. they have taught me more than anyone else could ever teach me. so if someone would like to say that john lennon is not important then maybe they should realize that he had an enormous impact on many people’s lives. peace

  13. By Lucy

    that’s cool. :) i wish had all their music. i’m coming pretty close. that girl could be his cuzin, but then again, i could be britney spears, but i dont wanna!!!! :)

  14. By Jackie

    my dad’s a complte beetles fan has every record every cd vid etc

  15. By Emily

    I dont think you are John Lennon’s “distant” cousin i mean anybody could make that up

  16. By Shiloh Lennon

    Couple more things: I was reading some of these comments, & yes, Mark Chapman shot him 5 times in the back. Injuring him wasnt enough? No. He had to kill him.
    My friends dont know this, but I’m a huge, huge, HUGE Beatles fan. They dont listen to my tpe of music. That’s why they dont understand me, or how I just wanna be a good person. I like peace, love, & happiness. I love how some people on here totally understand what I mean. Again, I’m not against anyone on here.

  17. By Shiloh Lennon

    I heard Yoko was trying to stop this movie from being made. I agree. If you noticed my last name, me & John are distant cousins. If someone killed your relative, would you want them to make a movie about the maniac that killed them? I thought not. If you dont wanna see the movie, then dont. In the real story of how he was killed, there was no girl. Lindsay was thrown into the movie. She’s a made up character. They cant change what REALLY happened, which is: a freak killed a man that was minding his own business. If I killed Mark Chapman, would they make a movie about me? Probably not. I’m not against ANYONE on this website. I’m not going to tell anyone to “shut up.” I think that’s just rude. These are my thoughts. We all have our own point of view, & this is just mine, so please dont get mad at me.

    If you hate Lindsay Lohan so fucking much then get the fuck of this site. By the way Toby, Hilary Duff sucks.This page was not made just to put lindsay down.

  19. By Toby

    Fuck you Emily and who ever else dares to put John Lennons name down. You all don’t know anything about what he tryed to do for everyone. Your all a bunch of pussy 12-15 year olds that don’t know there music, All they listen to is rap, and hillary duff and Linsday Lohan, Etc.
    Lets give you a quick history lesson.
    John Lennon was born October 9 ,1940. Now everyone knows all of Mr Lennons songs were advertising for peace on earth. Thats all he wanted was peace. And to this day if we got it do you think we would have a better world or the same boring peice of shit world with you fucked up kiddys that have garbage music. He was a legend. And to this day still is. I on the other hand have been granted a great life. I met Paul McCartney at Wembley stadium in the UK it was amazing his show. Also I have an ethentic John Lennon signature that this lady got when she lived in Liverpool as well as Pauls.
    Anyways thats beside the point. If you havent listen to the Beatles Music then you should shut up turn off your nasty hilary duff music and put on the White album. Maybe then you will understand us caring so much about John Lennons story.
