Paul is dead

So, I saw this review for a movie called "Paul is Dead" and it said that the holes in this story would be amusing to any Beatles fan. Since it was streaming on Netflix, I watched it. Oh man, if that really was the "Last Testament of George Harrison" that's some crazy stuff...but I don't think it was real...some reasons why:

*If that was George speaking, why did his accent sound off at times? I just watched 8 episodes of the Beatles anthology and I think I got a pretty good hold on the accent...and while whoever told this story was close, it wasn't perfect

*If George was in the hospital after his stabbing and recording this, how did he remember all of the "symbolism" in great detail? I mean EVERY single "symbolic" image of Paul's death was listed here...don't you think the guy would miss one?

*Maxwell was the Mi5 guy who covered up the whole thing and William Campbell and Maxwell worked together to off John Lennon and attempt at George Harrison with "crazed fans." If that were the case, why didn't they attempt sooner?

*Apparently Rita was the girl who found Paul dead in the car. When she vowed to tell years later, Mi5 had her run over by a motorbike and lose her leg. Then she got the new identity of Heather Mills. Seriously conspiracy people? That's way too much fodder for me!

*"George" calls Ringo a terrible drummer and idiot. He alleges that Ringo was just happy to be with the band which is why nothing ever happened to him.

And so it went on and on. Very creative, but I don't believe it. This "documentary" was way too flawed for it to be true.

I have heard/seen other "clues" in the past that totally help fuel the rumors...some even make me second guess everything...

One "clue" that I've heard before and that still baffles me is the whole right-handed/left-handed thing. The movie didn't even focus on this really and that's one clue that I've seen reoccurent that doesn't quite make sense. If Paul was left handed, why did he start doing things right handed after 66? I would like to ask him about that...

Basically it comes down to this: If years from now I find out Paul has really been dead this whole time, I'm going to be very very mad.
