He used to be so worried about the appearances of his starlets' breasts that he would sometimes invent new bras for them, describing them as "engineering problems." Wikipedia is a bit brief on it, but just think if Hughes had been your director above: "Hughes became obsessed by a minor flaw in one of Jane Russell's blouses, claiming that the fabric bunched up along a seam and gave the appearance of two nipples on each of Russell's breasts. He was reportedly so concerned by the matter as to write a detailed memorandum to the film crew on how to fix the problem."

I actually did that once. A friend had a certain film in his queue and when I told I had just seen it and liked it, he moved it up to #1 so he would get it next.

It's a beautiful movie - I love those scenes of Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi in white t-shirts and shaved heads, sitting on the steps of it must have been a church.

You care way too much about this. If George didn't care about receiving any credit for any help he gave Ringo.... I seem to remember seeing Ringo on Storytellers saying George had helped him with it though. I recall Ringo relaying some quibbling over the "Peace, remember peace" bridge, with George suggesting the lyrics "god, remember god," but Ringo didn't like want to use the word god.
