Across the Universe

A wonderfully amazing song by the Beatles. Also, it is an AMAZING movie, made of all Beatles songs, characters based off of Beatles songs, and amazing interpretation of the Beatles songs!

"The Beatles song, Across the Universe is great!"

"So is the movie!!!"

Come across

When you come across (something) you run into something, most often good things and without planning to do so. One can come across e.g. stuff (books, speakers, you name it), a person, information, and much more.
Very often used in past tense, because you are telling what you came across.

- I came across a Beatles LP a while ago - the joy!

- Yesterday I came across Dave. Man, he has really aged.

- Have you come across our new boss yet?

Across the Universe

One of the best films since Edward Scissorhands. It contains Beatles songs, talented actors/actresses, romance, sadness, happiness, art, and it is set in a decade where there were things to live for.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.

Army Sergeant: Is there any reason you shouldn't serve in the United States Army?
Max: I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung.
Army Sergeant: As long as you don't have flat feet...

Me: I love Across the Universe!
Friend: Jim Sturgess is hot.
Me: Oh, yes, he is.
